Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to get like items on the same side(put the variables on one side and the non-variables on the other).  Remember anything you do on one side of the equal, you have to do on the other side, too.

5X+3=7X-1   I'm going to move the -1 first, but you don't have to as long as you keep the equation equal.

5X+3+1=7X-1+1    We know that +1-1 is zero and so is -1+1.  So

5X+3+1=7X      We don't need to keep that zero.

5X+4=7X         Now, we want to move the 5X over.

5X-5X+4=7X-5X    Simplify and get rid of the zero.

4=2X             Last, we have to divide to get the 2 away from the X.

4/2=2X/2            Not everyone know that slash mean divide, :-).

2=X

By the knowledge and application of <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, we find that the expression - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37 has a solution of x = 12. (Correct choice: C)

<h3>How to solve an algebraic equation</h3>

In this question we have an equation that can be solved by <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, whose objective consists in clearing the variable x. Now we proceed to solve the equation for x:

  1. - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37     Given
  2. (- 10 · x + 7 · x) + 1 = 37   Associative property
  3. -3 · x + 1 = 37     Distributive property/Definition of subtraction
  4. - 3 · x = 36     Compatibility with addition/Definition of subtraction
  5. x = 12     Compatibility with multiplication/a/(-b) = -a/b/Definition of division/Result

By the knowledge and application of <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, we find that the expression - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37 has a solution of x = 12. (Correct choice: C)

A gardener has a container with 6 1/5 ounces of liquid plant fertilizer on Sunday the gardener uses 2 1/2 ounces on a flower gar
sergey [27]
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the container that the gardener has = 6 1/5 pounds
                                                                                                               = 31/5 pounds
We already know that 1 pound = 16 ounce
Then
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the
container that the gardener has = (31/5) * 16 ounce
                                                    = 496/5 pounds                                                          
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer that the gardener uses on Sunday = 2 1/2 ounces
                                                                                                         = 5/2 ounces
Then
The amount of liquid plant fertilizer that are left= (496/5) - (5/2) ounces
                                                                           = (992 - 25)/10 ounces
                                                                           = 967/10 ounces
                                                                           = 96.7 ounces
So the total amount of liquid plant fertilizer left is 96.7 ounces.
