He just switched sides of the variables and numbers. Instead if adding the opposite.

failed to evaluate 9 × - 8

2( - 3x + 1) = 9 × - 8

- 6x + 2 = - 72 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 6x = - 74 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = \frac{-74}{-6} = \frac{37}{3}

The sum of 3 odd consecutive integers are 93. find the 3 integers
Solnce55 [7]
Let, Your Integers = x, x+2, x+4
Now, x + x+2 + x+4 = 93
3x + 6 = 93
3x = 93 - 6
x = 87/3
x = 29
Then, x+2 = 31, & x+4 = 33

In short, Your Integers would be 29, 31, 33

Hope this helps!

How do you solve for the quotient of (x^-1) - 1 ÷ x - 1?
Ber [7]

\bf x^{-1}-1\div x-1\implies \implies \cfrac{1}{x}-1\div x-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{x}-1}{~~x-1~~}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1-x}{x}~~}{\frac{x-1}{1}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1-x}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x-1}\implies \cfrac{-(\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix})}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{x}\implies -x^{-1}

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (–9, -7) to
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Saving the long, drawn out derivation of the formulas to find the x and y coordinates of the directed point, suffice it to say that it is:

x coordinate: \frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b} and

y coordinate: \frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b}

where x1, x2, y1, and y2 are the coordinates from the given points and a and b are the numbers in the ratio, namely a = 3 and b = 4. Filling in accordingly:

the x coordinate of the directed point is

\frac{4(-9)+3(-2)}{7} which simplifies down to -6, and

the y coordinate of the directed point is

\frac{4(-7)+3(7)}{7} which simplifies down to -1.

The coordinate of the point is (-6, -1). Write that down so you don't forget it.
