143=7+8(3-7x) solve and justify

1 answer:

7 0

Justify means plug answer in and verify

so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x

143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x

justify

plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143

true

2 1/3 −1.5x=12.3 please help me I'm really struggling need an answer ASAP.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

-6.64

Step-by-step explanation:

since you need to find the value of x , but all values to one side and have x on the other .. meaning :

2 1/3 -12.3 = 1.5x

now that you have this find the decimal value of 2 1/3

which is 2*3 +1 = 7/3

in decimal form is 2.33333...

now subtract (2.3333.. - 12.3 ) / 1.5

x = -6.6444

to 3 sf = -6.64

If a = 7 and b = 11, what is the measure of ∠B? (round to the nearest tenth of a degree) A) 32.5° B) 39.2° C) 50.5° D) 57.5°

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

D) 57.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question is not complete. So, let's suppose it is a right angle triangle then, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to calculate the hypotenuse or the third side.

Pythagoras Theorem = $c^{2}$ = $a^{2} + b^{2}$
