3/7x + 4 = -1/2explain pls

Mathematics

3/7x + 4 = -1/2
subtract 4 from both sides
3/7x= -1/2 - 4
3/7x= -4 1/2
divide both sides by 3/7
x= -4 1/2 ÷ 3/7
convert -4 1/2 to improper fraction
x= (-4*1+1)/2 ÷ 3/7
x= -9/2 ÷ 3/7
multiply by reciprocal of 3/7
x= -9/2 * 7/3
multiply numerators & denominators
x= (-9*7)/(2*3)
x= -63/6
x= -10 3/6
simplify 3/6 by 3
x= -10 1/2

CHECK:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
3/7(-63/6) + 4= -1/2
(3*-63)/(7*6) + 4= -1/2
-189/42 + 4= -1/2
-4 1/2 + 4= -1/2
-1/2= -1/2

ANSWER: x= -63/6 or -10 1/2

Hope this helps! :)

A triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm. The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 10 cm less than
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

  • first side: 55 cm
  • second side: 60 cm
  • third side: 50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement gives all the side lengths in terms of that of the second side. Let s represent the length of the second side in cm. Then the length of the first side is (2s-65), and the length of the third side is (s-10). The perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths:

  165 = (2s -65) +s +(s-10)

  165 = 4s-75

  240 = 4s

  60 = s . . . . . . . . second side

  2s-65 = 55 . . . . first side

  s-10 = 50 . . . . . . third side

In order, the side lengths are 55 cm, 60 cm, 50 cm.
