Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 7 into the parenthesis: -7-2x=7x+56

2. Combine like terms by doing the opposite operation to the numbers: -7=9x+56 (added 2x to 7x)

3. Subtract 56 to each side of the equation: -63=9x

4. To isolate the variable "x," divide each side by 9: x=-7

The sum of two numbers is 30. the first number is twice the second number. what are the numbers?

Fudgin [204]

Let the numbers be x and y.

by the first statement of the question, we get , x + y = 30.,,..(1)

by the second satement, we get , x = y+ y => x=2y... (2)

from equation (2), let us put the value of x in equation (1),
x + y = 30
=> 2y + y = 30
=> 3y = 30
=> y =30/3
=> y = 10

and x=2y => x = 2*10 = 20

in short, the numbers are 10 and 20

Solve for x. Simplify completely.<br> x^2-9=55

djverab [1.8K]

★ Exponential reduction ★

$x {}^{2} - 9 = 55 \\ x {}^{2} = 55 + 9 = 64 \\ x {}^{2} = 64 = ( + 8) {}^{2} \\ x = + 8 \\$
we didn't considered -8 because square root of any real number is always positive , or it's yours choice to deal with minus 8 also :)
