Answer:
x = 72 / 85
Step-by-step explanation:
x -6/7=-x/84
x + x/84 = 6/7
84/84x + 1/84x = (12*6) / (12*7)
85/84x = ( 72 ) / ( 84 )
85/84x = 72 / 84
Multiply left and right from the = sign by 84/85 and you do that so you get a division ON THE LEFT SIDE that equals as 1... See how it works:
84/85 * { 85/84 } * x = 84/85 * { ( 72 ) / ( 84 ) }
{ (84 * 85) / ( 85 * 84) } * x = ( 84 * 72 ) / ( 85 * 84 )
(7140) / ( 7140) * x =. ( 6048 ) / ( 7140)
x = 6048 / 7140
x = 72 / 85
The answer here is C. The sign of the factors are both positive. We can use the FOIL method as reference in determining the sign of the factors. The 3rd term C is positive; therefore our only option is either both negative or both positive. Looking the middle term, which is positive, we know that the middle term is the sum of the outer and inner in FOIL method, which means, signs of the factors must be both positive
You can use any letter but when you label it x you find x
Answer:
y = 10
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
4y - 3 = 37
4y = 37 + 3
4y = 40
y = 40 / 4
y = 10
3x - 9 = 42
3x = 42 + 9
3x = 51
x = 51 / 3
x = 17
