8 0

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 4 = 2(x - 1)  combine like terms on the left  side  

12 = 2(x -1)    Distribute on the right side

12 = 2x - 2      Add 2 to both sides

+2         +2

14 = 2x     Divide both sides by 2

x= 7

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

8 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you first need to take 4/5 of 400 (320).  Then, you can count by 75s for a bit

75students; 2chaperones

150; 4

225; 6

300; 8

now, you have 20 students left over...since one chaperone would watch about 37 kids, you can either divide the remaining kids up among the other chaperones, or you can add one more chaperone to watch the 20 kids.  i don't know what the teacher wants, so either 8 or 9 chaperones

Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m
spayn [35]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".
