First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
First, add -5 to -14:
-3x < -9
Then, just divide!:
x < 3
Hopefully that helped! :)
9x+14x+4x+90 = 360
27x = 270
x = 10
<F = 14x = 14(10) = 140
I rounded each number to the nearest whole number and added those.
29 + 79 + 42 = 150
If you add the original numbers you would get 149.5, which rounds to 150.
7(x^2 +5x-7)
i think this is how it works
