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

Mathematics
2 answers:
Alona [7]3 years ago
5 0

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

5. Adam drives his car with an average velocity of 85 km/h eastward. How long will it take him to drive
NISA [10]

Answer:

x = 6.59 hrs = about 6 hours, 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Adam drives at 85 km / h. Let's set up equivalent fractions to see how long if he drives 560 km.

\frac{85 km}{1  hr} = \frac{560 km}{x hr}

Cross-multiply:

85x = 560

Solve for x:

560/85 = x

<u>x = 6.59 hrs = about 6 hours, 35 minutes</u>
