Answer: [B]: -3 .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
" -15r – 8 = 37 " ; Solve for " r " ;
__________________________________________
 → Add "8" to each side of the equation ;
__________________________________________
→ -15r – 8 + 8 = 37 + 8 ;
__________________________________________
to get:
__________________________________________
→ -15r = 45 ;
__________________________________________
→ Divide EACH side of the equation by "-15" ; to isolate the variable, "r", on one side of the equation; and to solve for, "r" ;
___________________________________________
→ -15r / -15 = 45 / -15 ;
___________________________________________
→ r = - 3 ; which is our answer;
________________________________________
→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: "-3" .

1/4x + 1 + 3/4c - 2/3 - 1/2x what is it equal to??

mylen [45]

Answer: $-1/4x+1/3+3/4c$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>We can't solve it but we can simplify</h2>

1/4x+1+3/4c-2/3-1/2x, try to move the equation around. Since the operations are in the same level we can do that.
1/4x-1/2x+(1-2/3)+(3/4c), 1/4 minus 1/2 can be written as 0.25-0.50 which is -0.25 or -1/4 don't forget to add x (we can do this since there like terms)
-1/4x+(1-2/3)+(3/4c), now we can convert 1 into a fraction which will become 3/3, so we can rewrite is as 3/3-2/3, which is 1/3
-1/4x+1/3+3/4c, We can't simplify anymore so this is our final answer.

$63 - $25.2 = $37.8

How much your paying without tax 37.8

7% of $63 is $4.41.

Rounded 42.21 = 42

Find a8 in the arithmetic sequence with a1=-7 and d=0.5

gavmur [86]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
a_1=-7\\
d=0.5\\
n=8
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_8=a_1+(8-1)d\implies a_8=-7+(8-1)(0.5)$

and surely you know how much that is.
