How do I show work for -2x-7=3(4x+7)

Mathematics

Alona [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-7=3(4x+7)

distribute

-2x-7 = 3*4x +3*7

-2x-7 = 12x+21

add 2x to each side

-2x-7+2x = 12x+2x+21

-7 = 14x+21

subtract 21 from each side

-7-21 = 14x+21-21

-28 = 14x

divide by 14

-28/14 = 14x/14

-2 =x

-2x - 7 = 3(4x + 7)      Distribute/multiply 3 into (4x + 7)

-2x - 7 = 12x + 21       Add 2x on both sides

-2x + 2x - 7 = 12x + 2x + 21

-7 = 14x + 21      Subtract 21 on both sides

-7 - 21 = 14x + 21 - 21

-28 = 14x     Divide 14 on both sides

-2 = x

What is 9 times 52 using mental math property
arsen [322]
Everyone works differently in mental meth.

To calculate 9*52, we note that 9=10-1, so mentally calculate
9(52)
=(10-1)(52)
=520-52   [ subtract 20 from each number]
=(520-20)-(52-20)  
=500-32
=468.

Alternatively,
9*52=9*50+9*2=450+18=468

If  you're good with multiplication and division,
9*52=3*3(52)=3*156=450+18=468

Triangle QRS is a right triangle.
olasank [31]

Answer:

5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² =² c²               the Pythagorean theorem

RQ² + RS² = QS²            Solve RS

6² + RS² = 8²

RS² = 64 -36

RS² = 28

RS = √28                  28 is slightly > 25   and since  √25 =5

RS = 5.3                    actually 5.2915  to a few more significant digits

Please help i don’t know the middle one
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A new study suggests that waiting at least an hour after dinner before going to sleep reduces your risk of stroke by about two-thirds.

And for every 20 minutes more that you wait, stroke risk drops another 10%, says researcher Cristina-Maria Kastorini, MSc, a nutritionist at the University of Ioannina Medical School in Greece.

The study does not prove cause and effect -- only that there seems to be an association between waiting an hour or more between dinner and bedtime and reduced stroke risk.

Results of the 1,000-patient study were presented here at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2011.

Please help me fast and show all your work please thx ​
Kitty [74]

If the two diagonals are d and D, the are of the rhombus is

A=\dfrac{dD}{2}

So, in your case, the area is

A=\dfrac{15\cdot 35}{2}=262.5

The other options are wrong because:

  • option A doens't divide by 2, thus getting twice the area of the rhombus
  • option B summed the diagonals instead of multiplying them
  • option D took the difference of the diagonals.
