The answer would be -25. If you were to look at it on a number line, starting a the point at -18, go to you left 7 spaces (since you are subtracting 7 from -18). From there you reach upon -25, which would be your answer
Answer: x =2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8 = 3x - 4
2x = 4
x = 2
checking the work:
5(2) - 8 = 3(2) - 4
10 - 8 = 6 - 4
2 = 2
To figure out which airline provides more reliable service, we need to figure out what ABC Airlines's delays are in percents.
To get that, we need to reduce 18/126 by 2.
When we reduce both the numerator and the denominator we get 9/63.
Now, we cannot reduce that again, without getting a decimal for the numerator/denominator.
So, now that we know that the fraction is 9/63, we divide it, and we get :
<span> 0.142857
</span>
Changing that into a percent, we get 14%.
14% is the percent that ABC Airlines has delays.
DEF Airlines has delays of 13% in recent flights.
So, from that, we can conclude that DEF gives more reliable service.

"<span>What is the general process for solving an equation with one variable?"...
Typically when solving an equation with one variable, your objective is to
isolate the variable on one side of the equation. This can be done adding/subtracting number to cancel them out on one side. You can also multiply/divide coefficients in order to isolate a variable.
Example:</span>

<span>Add
-4 to both sides to isolate the variable.
</span>

<span>
Simplify.
</span>

Divide both sides by
2 to isolate the variable on one side.


Hope this helps.
