Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+1=-x+17
Add 9x on both sides:
1=8x+17
Subtract 17 on both sides:
-16=8x
Divide both sides by 8:
-2=x
Check x=-2!
-9x+1=-x+17 with x=-2
-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17
18+1=2+17
19=19
19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.
X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice
x+y=5L
y=5L - x
x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:
0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6
0.05x=0.1L
x=2L
so y = 3L
so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice
3 1/2 cm or 3.5 cm. Because you should divide 280 by 80 which equals 3.5. turn 3.5 to centimeters. Thats your answer.
Answer:
Pass the number 5 to the other side with te opposite sign in order to leave the x alone
it would be
-3x = 23-5
Then you divide by -3 and thats ur answer
