Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

48=5(2x-7)+3

Use the distributive property

48=10x-35+3

Combine like terms

48=10x-32

Add 32 to both sides to cancel out the negative 32

80=10x

x=8

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

48 = 5(2x - 7) + 3

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute 5: 48 = 10x - 35 + 3
  2. Combine like terms: 48 = 10x - 32
  3. Add 32 to both sides: 80 = 10x
  4. Divide both sides by 10: 8 = x
  5. Rewrite: x = 8

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

48 = 5(2(8) - 7) + 3

48 = 5(16 - 7) + 3

48 = 5(9) + 3

48 = 45 + 3

48 = 48

Which point shown in the diagram matches the ordered pair (-3, 4)?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

- means you go to the left on a graph (if the number is in the x position)  or down on a graph (if it's a negative in the y's place) in this case it's a negative 3 in the x's place so we go left 3 times. Then we go up 4 where we will meet the C coordinate.

1.5^-2. how do i simplify that? the ^ means -2 is an exponant
hodyreva [135]
1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2
When there is a negative exponent, you find the reciprocal of the base, so therefore: 3/2 ^ -2 = 2/3 ^ 2
Then you square the numerator, then square the denominator: 2^2/3^2 = 4/9
