Answer:

the solution is x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms:

x(5 -2) +(-7 +2) = -26

3x -5 = -26

Add 5 to get the variable term by itself:

3x = -21

Divide by the coefficient of the variable:

x = -7

____

The answer to, "what is it?" is that it is a linear equation in x. After you collect terms, it is what is referred to as a "two-step" linear equation, because it takes two steps to solve it: add 5, divide by 3.

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−7+2−2x=−26

5x+−7+2+−2x=−26

(5x+−2x)+(−7+2)=−26(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−5=−26

3x−5=−26

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

3x−5+5=−26+5

3x=−21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x

3

=

−21

3

x=−7

Answer:

x=−7

A music store buys a trumpet for $80. They want to make a 35% profit. How much are they going to increase the price?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

They should increase their price by $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what 35% of 80 is. Do so by multiplying 80 by 35% in its decimal form - .35.

80*.35=28.

This means that they have to increase their price by at least 28 dollars to make a profit.

The new price of the instrument should be $108 - $80 increased by 35%.

Hope this helps :)

The answer is 56.



Firstly you have to multiply the 2 numbers together, which would be the places of b and h. This would give you 112.

Then, divide 112 by 2 to give you a final answer of 56.

A set of three scores consists of the values 3, 7, and 2. Σ2X-2 = 22 E(x-1)2 = -41 Hint: Remember to follow the order of mathema
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following scores 3, 7 and 2, we are to find the expression Σ2X-2 and Σ(X-1)²

The value of X's are 3, 7 and 2. Substituting the values we will have;

Σ2X-2 = [2(3)+2(7)+2(2)] - 2

Σ2X-2 = (6+14+4) - 2

Σ2X-2  = 24-2

Σ2X-2  = 22

For  Σ(X-1)²

Σ(X-1)² = (3-1)²+ (7-1)² + (2-1)²

Σ(X-1)² = 2²+6²+1²

Σ(X-1)² = 4+ 36+1

Σ(X-1)² = 41
