You are close, but it is not the correct answer.

1 + 2k = 5k + 7

First, since we are trying to get the variable by itself, we need to move all things to one side. Let's subtract 1 from each side. 
2k = 5k + 7 - 1

Second, we can now subtract (7 - 1) to get 6. Let's add that into our problem and then subtract 5 from each side, still trying to get the variable by itself.
2k - 5k = 6

Third, subtract (2k - 5k) to get -3k. Hint the negative symbol now. If the problem were switched the other way, it would still be a positive. 
-3k = 6

Fourth, we can now divide each side by -3. This results in a fraction and also getting the variable by itself on one side of the problem. Remember the negative sign in front of the fraction since (-3) carried it.
k = - \frac{6}{3}

Fifth, this is our last step. We need to simplify the fraction. Since out fraction is 6/3, which number multiples by 3 to get the answer of 6? The answer is 2, since (3 × 2 = 6). Don't forget the negative!
k = -2

Answer: \fbox {k = -2}

5 x the sum of a number and 2 is less than the number x 8. Find the number
telo118 [61]

The solution to inequality is not a number but an interval.

5(x+2) < 8x \\5x+10 < 8x \\10 < 3x \\10/3 < x \\x > 10/3\Longrightarrow x\in(10/3, +\infty)

Hope this helps.

Use the Sine Law: \frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}

In this case:
\frac{sin(44)}{17}=\frac{sin(60)}{e}
therefore:
e=17\frac{sin(60)}{sin(44)} \approx 21.2

What are the input variable and the output variable?
Gemiola [76]
The answer is: [A]:
_________________________________________________
  input:     number of rowers number of rowers in the rowboat;
  output:   speed of the rowboat ;
_________________________________________________
NOTE:  The input would be the independent variable and plotted on the "x-axis" of the graph; and the output would be the dependent variable and plotted on the "y-axis" of the graph.

Answer:

1. x = 15

2. x = 26

3. x = 7.6157731059 (you can round this answer to 8 or 7.6)

4. x = 11.7

5. x = 25

6. x = 1.4

7. x = 22.5

8. x = 38.4

9. x =  10.3    v = 5.8

For some of them, I had to use estimation.  

I used this formula : a^2 + b^2 = c^2
