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

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 number increased by 5 is two times the number

marin [14]

Let x be the number. x + 5 = 2x. 5 = x because you isolate for x by moving it to the right side, meaning you’d have to subtracts 1 x from 2x

Find the area A of the polygon with the given vertices.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

A = 35 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

d = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Length of the segment between A(2, 2) and B(9, 2) = $\sqrt{(9-2)^2+(2-2)^2}$

= 7 units

Length of the segment between B(9, 2) and C(9, -3) = $\sqrt{(9-9)^2+(2+3)^2}$

= 5 units

Length of the segment between C(9, -3) and D(2, -3) = $\sqrt{(9-2)^2+(-3+3)^2}$

= 7 units

Length of the segment between A(2, 2) and D(2, -3) = $\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(2+3)^2}$

= 5 units

Therefore, given polygon is a rectangle.

Area of the rectangle = length × width

= 7 × 5

= 35 square units
