Answer:

x = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of integers x and y is 280; x + y = 280

If x is divided by 7, the quotient is y; x/7 = y so x = 7y

Now you have 2 equations:

x + y = 280

x = 7y

Substitute x = 7y into x + y = 280

7y  + y = 280

8y = 280

y  = 35

x = 7(35)

x = 245

x = 245

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 280

x/7 = y                      Multiply both sides by 7

x/7 * 7 = 7*y

So x = 7y

Put 7y into the top equation.

7y + y = 280

8y = 280                   Divide both sides by 8

8y/8 = 280/8            

y = 35

====================

x + y = 280

x + 35 = 280

x + 35 - 35 = 280 - 35

x = 245

from 2002 to 2012, the number of a particular make of cars sold at a dealership yearly declined to 500. The number is expected t
Alinara [238K]
To determine the number of cars that will be sold by the year 2020, we will use the equation,

     N = (N1)(1 - r)^(t)

where N1 is the starting number of cars, r is the rate of the decrease, and t is the number of years from 2012. Substituting the konwn values,

   N = (500)(1 - 0.028)^(8)
    N = 398.38

The closest integer to the calculated value is 398. Thus, the answer is 398 cars.

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
