How would I separate the subject from the predicate from each other in this sentence
icang [17]

Answer:

<u>Canning </u>or<u> freezing</u> keeps food from spoiling.

Explanation:

I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

Here, the subject are the words <em>canning</em> and<em> freezing</em>. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is <em>keeps</em>. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: <em>keeps food from spoiling.</em>

To confirm this, we can ask:

  • for the subject - <em>What keeps food from spoiling? </em><em>Canning or freezing.</em>
  • for the predicate - <em>What does canning or freezing do? It </em><em>keeps</em><em> </em><em>food from spoiling.</em>

3x+7=x - 15 i dont know how to solve it <br> the answer is -11 but i dont know how to get to that
SSSSS [86.1K]
3x + 7 = x - 15

First, make sure to subtract x from both sides.
3x + 7 - x = -15
Second, simplify 3x - x to get 2x, and then keep the 7.
2x + 7 = -15
Third, subtract 7 from both sides. 
2x = -15 - 7
Fourth, simplify -15 - 7 to get -22.
2x = -22
Fifth, take the 2 and divide both sides by it, keeping the x by itself.
x = - \frac{22}{2}
Sixth, since 11 goes into 2 to get 22, simplify the fraction to 11.
x = -11

Answer: x = -11
