Subtract 39 from both sides
-7x = -4 - 39
Simplify -4 - 39 to -43
-7x = -43
Divide both sides by -7
x = -43/-7
Two negative make a positive
<u>x = 43/7</u>
<em>For the second equation;</em>
Simplify brackets
7x + 7 = 4
Subtract 7 from both sides
7x = 4 - 7
Simplify 4 - 7 to -3
7x = -3
Divide both sides by 7
<u>x = -3/7</u>
Answer:
Both Answers are in the following attachment (a) and (b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A)
Step-by-step explanation:
length = x +x + 2 = 2x + 2
Width = 2+ x
Area of rectangle = length *width
(x +2)(2x + 2) = 110
Use FOIL method
x*2x + x*2 + 2*2x + 2*2 = 110
2x² + <u>2x + 4x</u> + <u>4 - 110</u> = 0 {Combine like terms}
2x² +6x - 106 = 0
a = 2 ; b = 6 ; c = -106
b² - 4ac = 6² - 4*2*(-106)
= 36 + 848
= 884


x = 5.93 m
10+5=5+10
They both ate the same amount of food.
