You can combine like terms:(3x and -7x)
-4x+15=-7
now, we subtract 15 from both sides:
-4x=-22
finally, we divide both sides by -4
x=5.5 or 5 1/2

3x+15−7x=−7

Simplify:

3x+15−7x=−7

3x+15+−7x=−7

(3x+−7x)+(15)=−7(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+15=−7

Subtract 15 from both sides.

−4x+15−15=−7−15

−4x=−22

Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4=−22/−4

x=11/2

1 Find the slope of a line which passes through the points P(-3, 2) and Q(1, 5)

Arada [10]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula when given two points

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 5-2)/(1 - -3)

= (5-2)/(1+3)

= 3/4

Write or draw to explain how you will find the total value of $1 bills and 3 quarters.

Rzqust [24]

"if you break down a $1 bill, it is 4 quarters. If you add the 4 quarters to the other 3 then you will get the sum of 7."

Hope this helps!

GEOMETRY. PLS HELP ASAP.... How can you verify Euler’s formula for this net of a cube?

Tomtit [17]

The above figure can be formed into a cube.

This is for any polyhedron that does not intersect itself. The Euler's formula states that the number of faces plus the number of vertices or corner points less the number of edges is always equal to 2.

Faces + Vertices - Edges = 2

A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

Euler's formula: 6 + 8 - 12 = 2 ⇒ 14 - 12 = 2 ⇒ 2 = 2
