Please Help!!! And explain!!! Solve for x 7(5x-4)-1=14-8x

1 answer:

5 0

Hello there,
begin by distributing 7
35x-28-1=14-8x
35x-29=14-8x
now add 8x to both sides
35x+8x-29=14-8x+8x
43x-29=14
add 29 to both sides
43x-29+29=14+29
43x=43
divide both sides by 43
43x/43=43/43
x=1
Done!

PLEASE HELP. graph the set of points which model is most appropriate for the set (-6,4)(-4,0)(-3,-2)(-1,-7)

SOVA2 [1]

A linear equation would be the best fit, but the last point (-1,-7) kinda messes it up. If the -7 would have been a -6 the line y=-2x-8 would fit perfectly.

Harold and Millicent are getting married and need to combine their already-full libraries. If Harold, who has 1/2 as many books

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books that Millicent has. So the number of books that Harold has is x/2. And the number of book that Harold is bringing to the new home is (x/2)/3 = x/6.

The home has enough room for another half of Millicent's books, which is x/2. So the total books capacity of the new home is

$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{4x}{6} = \frac{2x}{3}$

Since x is also the number of books in Millicent's old library capacity, we can conclude that the fraction of Millicent's old library capacity to the new home's library capacity is 2/3, or 2 thirds
