Mathematics

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

la edad de josé y beatriz están en la relacion de 5 a4 . si dentro de 3 años la suma de ambas edades seran 60 años , ¿ cual es l
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

La edad actual de Beatriz es de:

30 años

Step-by-step explanation:

Planteamiento:

5e = 4b

(e+3) + (b+3) = 60

e = edad actual de José

b = edad actual de Beatriz

Desarrollo:

de la segunda ecuación del planteamiento:

e + b + 6 = 60

e + b = 60 - 6

e + b = 54

e = 54 - b

sustituyendo este último valor en la primer ecuación del planteamiento:

5(54-b) = 4b

5*54 + 5*-b = 4b

270 - 5b = 4b

270 = 4b + 5b

270 = 9b

b = 270/9

b = 30

e = 54 - b

e = 54 - 30

e = 24

Comprobación:

5e = 4b

5*24 = 4*30 = 120
