Well first lets do the distributive property so the left side is already done 28, now the right side -4 (2x+7) when you do that you get -8x-28. So now we have 28=-8x-28. So now I would move the -28 to the left side and when you move stuff to the other side you change the sign so the sign will be positive 28+28 which is 56. Now you have 56=-8x. Now divide both side by -8 to have -7=x
Your Answer: x = -7
3/2. you but as y over x and subtract the y’s then the x’s so -2-4 over -1-3 = -6/-4= 3/2
9 apples per basket
Peter is making 8 identical fruit baskets. If the baskets are identical, that means they all have the same amount of fruit in them. If I know how many apples were used, then I can divide that by the total number of baskets (8) to find out how many apples were used per basket.
12 oranges were used per basket. There were 8 baskets. 12 x 8 = 96, so 96 oranges were used in total.
168 - 96 = 72
There were 72 apples used in total.
There were the same amount of apples in each of the 8 fruit baskets. 72/8 = 9, which means that there were 9 apples per fruit basket.
Sample A. x=3
Divide both sides by 2
2. N=-70
Add 7 on both sides
3. X=-40
Multiply -4 on both sides
4. D. 20
