Terms that have the same variable part are called like terms. Like terms can be added or subtracted to form a single term.
1.
16x - 4x = -48
First, combine the like terms 16x and -4x.
12x = -48
Now divide both sides by 12.
x = -4
2.
7m - 5 - 13m = 25
First, combine the like terms 7m and -13m.
-6m - 5 = 25
Now add 5 to both sides.
-6m = 30
Divide both sides by -6.
m = -5
3.
12.25 = 0.5q + 3.75
Subtract 3.75 from both sides.
8.5 = 0.5q
Multiply both sides by 2.
17 = q
q = 17
4.
2(2x - 4) + x = 7
Distribute the 2.
4x - 8 + x = 7
Combine 4x and x.
5x - 8 = 7
Add 8 to both sides.
5x = 15
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 3
5.
8 = 3(3x + 8) - x
Distribute the 3.
8 = 9x + 24 - x
Combine 9x and -x.
8 = 8x + 24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-16 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8.
-2 = x
x = -2
A.False because the actually weight is 72 if you multiply the percentage times 90
B.True because 72 is less than 90
C.True
D.True
Answer:
x = 32, y = 51
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides and angles are congruent, that is
∠ U = ∠ N
∠ N = 180° - (142 + 24)° = 180° - 166° = 14° , then
2x - 50 = 14 ( add 50 to both sides )
2x = 64 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 32
and
NP = US
2x - y = 13
2(32) - y = 13
64 - y = 13 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
- y = - 51 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 51
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex earned 156 reward points for selling wrapping paper rolls.
Using the given equation
3r = 156
r = 156/3
r = 52
Alex sold 52 wrapping paper rolls
Width = w
length = 11w
Pythagoras theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Let's say the width is a, the length is b, and the distance between corners (call it d) is c
w^2 + 11w^2 = d^2
Collect like terms,
12w^2 = d^2
Simply
12w = d
