Answer:
The sum of two numbers is 18.
5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.
First number --> x
Second number --> y
so
x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y
5x - (4/7)y = 14
so
5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14
90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14
-5.57 y = 14-90
y = 13.64
so
x = 18 - 13.64
x = 4.36
Answer:
B should be the answer but it could but C
Answer:
x ≥ 33
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of X would be 9
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
