Mathematics

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer:

<u><em>x=2</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

add 7 both sides of an equation.

3x-7+7=2x-5+7

simplify.

3x=2x+2

subtract 2x both sides of an equation.

3x-2x=2x+2-2x

simplify.

x=2

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

3x - 7 = 2x - 5<em>     add 7 to both sides</em>

3x = 2x + 2         <em>subtract 2x from borh sides</em>

<h3>x = 2</h3>

Check:

L = 3(2) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1

R = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1

L = R  CORRECT! :)

Each sister bought a gift for their mom. Maggie spent 3 times as much as Karen. Karen spent half as much as Jasmine. Altogether,
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Maggie spent =30

Karen spent = 10

Jasmine spent =20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this we use algebra to solve.we give the sisters unknowns, to help us solve the equation.

we dont know how much jasmine used so we give her the unknown x.you can use any letter but ill us x.

karen used half as much as karen so we give her 1/2x because it was half of jasmine.maggie used 3 times that of karen so w give her 3(1/2x).

maggie =3(1/2x)

Karen =1/2x

jasmine =x

3(1/2x) + 1/2x + x = 60

3/2x + 1/2x + x = 60

2x + x = 60

3x=60

x=20

where we have x =we replace with 20

e.g karen 1/2x => 1/2 x 20 =10

if you need any clarifications please do tell me in the comment section.i would like to help more if you need help.thx

     Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest anwer thx

PLEASE HELP ANGLE OF A TRIANGLE
Vikki [24]

Answer:

59°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of a triangle equal 180°.

Also the angle of a straight line is 180°.

So you first find the missing bottom angle by taking 180-147 to equal 33.

Then you take 33+88+x=180

solve for x by subtracting 88 and 33 from 180 to equal 59.

Identify all of the characteristics listed below that are associated with Step 1 of the 4-Step Problem-Solving Method -- Underst
Paraphin [41]
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
