When you multiply by 1/10 you normally add another 0:
1/10 * 0.092=0.0092
Given equation : n(17+x)=34x−r.
We need to solve it for x.
Distributing n over (17+x) on left side, we get
17n + nx = 34x - r.
Adding r on both sides, we get
17n+r + nx = 34x - r+r.
17n + r + nx = 34x.
Subtracting nx from both sides, we get
17n + r + nx-nx = 34x-nx
17n + r = 34x -nx.
Factoring out gcf x on right side, we get
17x + r = x(34-n).
Dividing both sides by (34-n), we get
<h3>Therefore, final answer is
</h3>
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
You have to combine like terms, so the variable (x, y, s, d, c....) and the exponents must be the same in order to combine them.
For example:
x² + x³ Since they don't have the same exponent, you can't combine them
y² + 3y² = 4y²
23x + x = 24x
4. 2s² + 1 + s² - 2s + 1 You can rearrange it if it makes it easier
2s² + s² - 2s + 1 + 1 = 3s² - 2s + 2
5. 5t² - 2t - 1 - (3t² - 5t + 7) Distribute/multiply the - to (3t² - 5t + 7)
5t² - 2t - 1 - 3t² + 5t - 7 = 2t² + 3t - 8
Do the same for #9 and #10, and you should get:
9. 2k² + 5k - 9
10. 6y³ - 7y² - 6y - 12
