Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 7) - 3 = 5 (given)
2x + 14 - 3 = 5 (Distributive Property)
2x + 14 = 8 (Addition Property of Equality)
2x = -6 (Subtraction Property of Equality)
x = -3 (Division Property of Equality)
36.9
it might be wrong but at least i tried
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
represent a number with
in the ten's position and
is the one's position.
This means
actually has value of
.
We are given the sum of those digits of
is 10; this means
.
It says if 18 is added to the number
, then the result is
.
So
has value
and
has value
.
We are given then:


Subtract
on both sides:

Simplify:

Subtract
on both sides:


Divide both sides by 9:

Rearrange by commutative property:

So the system of equations we want to solve is:


-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable
and allow you to go ahead and solve for
:


Divide both sides by 2:

Simplify:

If
and
, then
.
since 4+6=10.
So the original number is (46).
18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.
We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.
Distance is the formula :
D

=
so

= 13
Answer is C)
