2x-1=7x+44 is equal to -9. The first step is to add one on both sides to get x by itself. Right now you should have 2x= 7x+45. Then you subtract 7x from both sides. You should have -5x=45. Now divided -5 on both sides. You should get the answer x=-9. By the way remember only subtract variables from other variable and regular numbers only from other regular numbers. Hope this helps, if you have any questions please comment.

2x-1=7x+44

move 7x to the other side

sign changes from +7x to -7x

2x-7x-1=7x-7x+44

2x-7x-1=44

-5x-1=44

move -1 to the other side

sign changes from -1 to +1

-5x-1+1=44+1

-5x=44+1

-5x=45

divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5=45/-5

x=-9

Answer: x=-9

Problem 25 a freelance writer earns $20 for each blog post and $60 for each feature article. how many feature articles did the w

myrzilka [38]

The given are:
cost for each blog = $20
cost for each feature article = $60
blog = 10+2(number of articles sold)
total earnings = $700

where,
a = article
b = blog

to solve,
60(a)+20(10+2a)=700
60a+200+40a=700
200+100a=700
100a=700-200
100a=500
a=500/100
a=5
The total feature articles produced last week was 5.

to check,
a+b=700
60(5)+20[10+2(5)]=700
300+20(10+10)=700
300+200+200=700
700=700

Indeed, the number of articles produced last week was 5.
