3x-7y=2 solve for x. Can you show how you do it?

1) 3x-7y=2
2) If you're solving for x, you want to isolate it, so move the -7y to the right:
      3x = 7y + 2
3) Now, to get x by itself, you divide both sides by 3
      3x/3 = (7y + 2)/3
4) You get:
   x = 7/3y + 2/3

So, 3 * 4 = 12 , 7 * 1.5 = 10. 12-10 = 2 so x= 4

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

perimeter = 19.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of semi circle = 6π/2 = 9.42

perimeter of cone = 5 + 5 = 10

10 + 9.42 = 19.42 ft

What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

$\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

- Using the Difference of squares formula ( $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides of the equation by $(m+3)(3-m)$ and simplify:

$\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides by $m-3$ :

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)$

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0$

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

$\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0$

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

$(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3$

In order to verify it, you must substitute $m=3$ into the equation and solve it:

$\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}$
