You have an equation with the variable x.
You want to know what value of x makes the equation true.
The first step is to simplify the left side by distributing on both sets of parentheses.

- (1 + 7x) - 6 (-7 - x) = 36

Distribute the negative sign. It changes every sign inside the parentheses.
Distribute the -6. Multiply each number inside the parentheses by -6.

-1 - 7x + 42 + 6x = 36

Now combine like terms on the left side.

-x + 41 = 36

Subtract 41 from both sides.

-x = -5

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 5

Our solution is x = 5.
We can now check to see if it is correct.

We replace x with 5 in the original equation and see it the statement is true.

- (1 + 7x) - 6 (-7 - x) = 36

- (1 + 7*5) - 6 (-7 - 5) = 36

- (1 + 35) - 6(-12) = 36

-36 - (-72) = 36

-36 + 72 = 36

36 = 36

Since 36 = 36 is a true statement, our solution, x = 5, is correct.

An odd number between 301 and 370 has three different digits. If the sum of its digits is five times the hundreds digit, find th

For the answer to the question above, <span> 
5x3 (the hundreds digit)= 15
so 3+x+y=15. 15-3=12. x+y=12.
No even number + odd number can be = 12, so both digits must be odd.
That leaves us with 3+3+z=15, 3+3+x =15 and 3+5+y= 15. 3+1+9 (highest odd digit)= 13 so that is wrong.
3+3+9= 15, but there is a double digit, so wrong again. 3+5+7=15. 357 is the answer.</span>

There are 40 people at Drake's sweet sixteen party. Drake's only rule is that everyone in the party must meet and shake each oth
nikdorinn [45]
1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
     ⁴⁰C₂ = 780
     There are 780 handshakes in total.

2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you              could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1.          You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).

3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the       natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
     Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500 
     If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.
