Answer:x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Regroup terms.

8x-2=7x-98x−2=7x−9

2 Subtract 7x7x from both sides.

8x-2-7x=-98x−2−7x=−9

3 Simplify 8x-2-7x8x−2−7x to x-2x−2.

x-2=-9x−2=−9

4 Add 22 to both sides.

x=-9+2x=−9+2

5 Simplify -9+2−9+2 to -7−7.

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x (add 2 to both sides)

8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2

8x = 7x - 7 (subtract 7x from both sides)

8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x

x = - 7

Answer:

33.275

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step: Difference in brackets

$3.5-2\dfrac{1}{3}=3\dfrac{1}{2}-2\dfrac{1}{3}=(3-2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=1+\dfrac{3-2}{3\cdot 2}=1+\dfrac{1}{6}=1\dfrac{1}{6}$

2 step: $0.75\div\dfrac{1}{3}$

$0.75\div\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{75}{100}\div \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{9}{4}$

3 step: $1.28\div 0.04$

$1.28\div 0.04=128\div 4=32 \ \text{Move point two decimal places}$

4 step:

$2\dfrac{1}{4}\times 1\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{2\cdot 4+1}{4}\times \dfrac{1\cdot 6+1}{6}=\dfrac{9}{4}\times \dfrac{7}{6}=\dfrac{63}{24}=\dfrac{21}{8}$

5 step:

$\dfrac{9}{4}+32-\dfrac{21}{8}+1.65=(32+1.65)+\left(\dfrac{9}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\right)=33.65+\dfrac{9\cdot 2-21}{8}=33.65-\dfrac{3}{8}=33.65-0.375=33.275$
