m(x)=58
Multiply the bracket by m
(m)(x)=mx
mx=58
Divide both sides by m
mx/m=58/m
Cross out m and m, divide by m and then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=58/m
Answer: x=58/m
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
If J is Joan's current age and E is Ellen's current age, then:
J = E + 5
(J - 3) + (E - 3) = 17
Solve the first equation for E:
E = J - 5
Substitute into the second:
(J - 3) + (J - 5 - 3) = 17
J - 3 + J - 8 = 17
2J - 11 = 17
2J = 28
J = 14
Joan is 14, so in 7 years, she will be 21.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines divide the transversals into proportional segments, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
9(x + 4) = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x + 4 = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = 2
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
when you subtract a negative, you are basically adding. 2+7=9
