The answer is 7x - 23

You first multiply 5 by what's in the parenthesis and when you do this you get 5x - 20 after that you combine like terms so 5x + 2x is 7x and -20 + (-3) is -23

Leaving you with the answer of 7x - 23

The area of a plot of land is 2496 square meters. A small part of the land is fenced. The ratio of the area of the plot of land

AfilCa [17]

My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters.

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

Answer: $\textsf{(1, 1) is NOT a solution of the inequality}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: $y \le-3x + 1$

Find: $\textsf{Determine if (1, 1) is a solution of the inequality}$

Solution: In order to determine if (1, 1) is a solution we need to plug in 1 for the x values and 1 for the y values and see if the equation evaluated to true.

Plug in the values
