Twice the difference of a number and 7 equals 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]3 years ago
4 0

Hey there!

Let's write an equation given this information. We will use x to represent the number.

2(x-7)=5

Now, we use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

2x-14=5

Now, we add 14 to both sides.

2x=19

We divide both sides by 2.

x=9.5

Therefore, our number is 9.5

I hope this helps!

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

What is the value of y if f||n<br> ?????
Elenna [48]

Answer:

y = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 18 = 2x + 12 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

4x - 18 = 2x + 12

4x - 2x = 18 + 12

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2

x = 10

y = 180 - (2x + 12) (linear pair theorem)

Plug in the value of x

y = 180 - (2(10) + 12)

y = 180 - (20 + 12)

y = 148°

(a) It takes the Earth 365 days to complete a full orbit around the sun. It takes Jupiter approximately 4,332 days, 14 h, and 9
kogti [31]

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

First convert the hours and minutes in Jupiter orbit to days:

14*60 = 840 +9 = 849 minutes.

849 / 60 = 14.15 hours.

14.15 / 24 = 0.59 days.

Jupiter's orbit is 4332.59 days.

Now divide that by 365 for the number of years:

4332.59 / 365 = 11.87 years.
