So lets write this equation out.  Let x be that number we are trying to find. 

So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this 

5/7 

when you see the word "of" that means multiplication 

so we can write the full equation. 

(5/7)x = -35 

now we can solve 

Multiply both sides by 7 

5x = -245

now divide by 5 
and we get 

x = -49

Calculate the loss on selling 50 shares of stock originally bought at 133/4 and sold at 12.
Anarel [89]
Here is the solution of the given problem above:
The first thing we should do is to multiply 50 and 13 3/4 
13 3/4 is equivalent to 13.75 .
So, we then multiply 
50 x 13.75  and we get 687.50.
so, $687.50 was the amount spent on the stock. 
Now, lets find out how much they sold them for:
What we do is multiply 12 and 50 
50 x 12 would be 600
We can find out the loss by subtracting 
$687.50 - $600 and that gives us $ 87.50.
Therefore, the amount that is loss in selling is $87.50. The correct answer would be option B. Hope this answer helps.

What is the solution to the system that is created by the equation y=-x+6 and the graph shown below?
mina [271]
The graph graphed is y=1/2x

so
y=1/2x and y=-x+6
y=y so
1/2x=-x+6
times 2 both sides
x=-2x+12
add 2x both sides
3x=12
x=4

sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(4)
y=2

(4,2) is the solution
