Answer: x=1/2

she was wrong, it's supposed to be

Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)

8x+−24+7=−26x

(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)

8x+−17=−26x

8x−17=−26x

Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.

8x−17+26x=−26x+26x

34x−17=0

Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.

34x−17+17=0+17

34x=17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.

34x/34=17/34 x=1/2

How are 12 fl oz equivalent to 335 ml
Mazyrski [523]
The question asks us to find that 12 fl oz is equivalent to 335 ml. Then we have to either convert the milliliter to oz or vice-verse. In this case we will convert 12 fl oz to milleter and check if it comes to 335 ml.
Now we already know that
1 oz = 29.57 ml
Then
12 oz = (29.57 * 12) ml
          = 354.84 ml
         = 355 ml
So we see that 12 oz is not equal to 335 ml but it is almost equivalent to 335 ml.
