Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First... Distribute the -3 into x and -8. You'll have -3x + 24 + 7x = 12

Next... Subtract 24 on both sides (-3x + 24 - 24 + 7x = 12 - 24)

                                 -3x + 7x = -12

Add like terms to get 4x = -12

Finally.. you divide 4 on both and you have...

x = -3

When n = 3, which of the expressions below will be greater than 50? Select all that apply. A) (8n2÷9)⋅7 B) 2n2⋅3 –4n C) 4n2–6n+1
True [87]

Answer:

<u><em>A</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a)</u>

<u></u>(8(3)^{2} / 9) * 7<u></u>

<u>8(9) / 9 = 8 x 7 = 56</u>

b)

2(3)^{2} * 3 - 4(3)

2(9) * 3 - 12

18 * 3 = 54 - 12 = 42

c)

4(3)^{2} - 6(3) + 12

4(9) - 18 + 12

36 - 18 = 18 + 12 = 30

d)

7(3) + (3 * 8)

21 + 24 = 45

Which ordered pair is a solution to the equation 3x-3y=21
katovenus [111]
The answer would be (5, -2). This is because when you plug in the respective values in for x and y into the equation 3x - 3y = 21, you get 21, which is the desired answer.
3x - 3y = 21
3(5) - 3(-2) = 21
15 + 6 = 21
21 = 21 
Hope this helped!

egoroff_w [7]

Multiply 80 by 14 to get how many total people they can feed.

80 times 14 is 1120.

Now, divide 1120 by 32 to get how many days the food will last if 32 people come every day.

1120/32 = 35.
