Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.

And let's represent "a number" with x.

63 - 15x = 72

Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.

-15x = 72-63

-15x = 9

x = -9/15 = <u>-3/5</u>

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be represented as 63 - 15 x X = 72

To further simplify the problem : 63 - 15x = 72

Then you subtract

- 15x = 9

- 3/5

What is the value of m in the equation 5m − 7 = 6m + 11?<br><br> A.18<br> B. 1<br> C. −18<br> D.−1
adoni [48]
Hello there ^ _ ^

5m - 7 = 6m + 11
Solve for M
5m - 6m = 11+ 7
-m = 18
Divide both sides by -1
-m/-1 = 18/-1
m = -18

Good luck!

4(5x + 9)^2 – 33 = -21
ozzi

Answer:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

4 (5 x + 9)^2 - 33 = -21

Add 33 to both sides:

4 (5 x + 9)^2 = 12

Divide both sides by 4:

(5 x + 9)^2 = 3

Take the square root of both sides:

5 x + 9 = sqrt(3) or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Subtract 9 from both sides:

5 x = sqrt(3) - 9 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Divide both sides by 5:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x + 9 = -sqrt(3)

Subtract 9 from both sides:

x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or 5 x = -9 - sqrt(3)

Divide both sides by 5:

Answer:  x = sqrt(3)/5 - 9/5 or x = -9/5 - sqrt(3)/5

What are the solutions of ×^2=8-5×?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

x=8 & x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to get the (x)s all on one side.

add 5x to each side

{x}^{2}  + 5x = 8

Since x^2 is x•x and 5x is 5•x then we can change the formula to

x(x+5)=8

then seperate that

x=8

x+5=8

subtract 5 from each side

x=3.

The solutions are 8 and 3.
