Solve for x: 7x + 15 = 38 please help by explaining this I don't get it at all :(

1 answer:

4 0

Okay ...
you do the opposite

so you do

38-15=23

that would leave you with
7x=23
you then get x on its own by dividing 7x by 7

and because you divided one side yo must divide the other ..
so
23/7 =
3.2857
x=3.3

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hypothenus = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that the triangles are congruent (i.e same size). Thus,

AC = EF

BC = DE

To obtain the length of each Hypothenus, we shall determine the value of y and x. This can be obtained as follow:

For y:

AC = y + 3

EF = 2y + 1

AC = EF

y + 3 = 2y + 1

Collect like terms

3 – 1 = 2y – y

2 = y

y = 2

For x:

BC = 5x + 7

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

DE = 6x + 2(2)

DE = 6x + 4

BC = DE

5x + 7 = 6x + 4

Collect like terms

7 – 4 = 6x – 5x

3 = x

x = 3

Finally, we shall determine the length of each Hypothenus. This can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus = BC

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

x = 3

Hypothenus = 5x + 7

Hypothenus = 5(3) + 7

Hypothenus = 15 + 7

Hypothenus = 22

Hypothenus = DE

DE = 6x + 2y

y = 2

x = 3

Hypothenus = 6(3) + 2(2)

Hypothenus = 18 + 4

Hypothenus = 22

2. Inflation is at a rate of 7% per year. Evan's favorite bread now costs $1.79. What did it cost 10 years ago? How long

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

It cost $0.91 10 years ago.

It takes 10.24 years for the cost of bread to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the price of bread after t years has the following format:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}$

In which P(0) is the current price, and r is the inflation rate, as a decimal.

If we want to find the price for example, 10 years ago, we find P(-10).

Inflation is at a rate of 7% per year. Evan's favorite bread now costs $1.79.

This means that $r = 0.07, P(0) = 1.79$ . So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}$

$P(t) = 1.79(1+0.07)^{t}$

$P(t) = 1.79(1.07)^{t}$

What did it cost 10 years ago?

$P(-10) = 1.79(1.07)^{-10} = 0.91$

It cost $0.91 10 years ago.

How long before the cost of the bread doubles?

This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0) = 2*1.79. So

$P(t) = 1.79(1.07)^{t}$

$2*1.79 = 1.79(1.07)^{t}$

$(1.07)^{t} = 2$

$\log{(1.07)^{t}} = \log{2}$

$t\log{1.07} = \log{2}$

$t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.07}}$

$t = 10.24$

It takes 10.24 years for the cost of bread to double.

Layla bought a new computer for $500. Each year, the value of the computer decreased by 50% of the previous years value. At this

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Answer = C.31.25

Step-by-step explanation:

SO there are 4 years and every year the price gets 50% of so we take it as 100/2 = 50% so we have to divide 500 by 2 four times that is -

1. 500/2 ( 50% of 500) = 250

2. 250/2 (50% of 250) = 125

3. 125/2 (50% of 125) = 62.50

4. 62.50/2 (50% of 62.50) = 32.25

so we divided 500 4 times to get the answer as 32.25$
