-10x + 1 + 7x = 37
-10x+7x+1= 37
-3x+1= 37
Move +1 to the other side. Sign changes from +1 to -1.
-3x+1-1= 37-1
-3x= 36
divide by -3
-3x/-3= 36/-3
x= -12
Answer : x= -12
Okay -
So, the goal when we have an equation is to find the value of the variable. So, let's isolate that variable on <em>one </em>side of the equation!
<em>* original equation </em>
<em>5x + 4 = 49.
</em><em>* subtract four from both sides. if you do something on one side of the equation, you have to do it on the other.
</em><em>5x + 4 - 4 = 49 - 4.
* now we are going to divide 5 on both sides to isolate x.
5x/5 = 45/5.
* and our answer is...
x = 9. =)

Answer:
a. 37 people respond "Yes"
b. 29 people respond "Yes"
c. 28 people respond "No"
Step-by-step explanation:
There was a sample of 46 oil industry executives who are selected for a questionnaire. There are total 46 executives so total number of answer will be either 46 or lesser. The questionnaire responses cannot be greater than 46. The possible responses can be 37 or 29 people responses "Yes" or 28 executive responses "No"
