Equation: 4x + 7 = 3(2x - 5)

Step-by-step solution:

• Expand brackets

-> 4x + 7 = 6x - 15

• Move x variable to a side and the numbers to another

-> 4x - 6x = -15 - 7

• Solve

-> -2x = -22

• Multiply both sides by (-1)

-> -(-2x) = -(-22)
-> 2x = 22

• Divide both sides by 2

-> x = 22/2

-> x = 11

• Justification
-> Put x = 11 in original equation
-> 4(11) + 7 = 3( 2(11) - 5)
-> 44 + 7 = 3(22 - 5)
-> 51 = 3(17)
-> 51 = 51
-> 51 - 51 = 0
-> 0 = 0
Since both sides are equal to each other, the answer to the equation is correct.

I don't know Sam's equation so I'm not gonna answer that.

Serga [27]
75,000 divided by 150, is 500, meaning they allow 500 people per acre. 500 times 145 is 72,500, meaning the capacity for a park your size should be 72,500 people.

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is −6?
ikadub [295]
Line M with slope 6 is neither, line n with slope -6 is parallel because only lines with same slope are parallel, line p with slope 1/6 is neither. and line q with slope -1/6 is perpendicular because only the reciprocal of a slope is perpendicular, so reciprocal of 6= 1/6 reciprocal of -6=-1/6 reciprocal of 2= 1/2
