Simplify the expression:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x)
Operate the parentheses. Each term changes its signs because the minus sign represents a -1:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 5x - 3 - 5x
Collect like terms:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 3 -5x - 5x
Simplify:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 4 - 10x
Answer: 4 - 10x
Answer:
0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x < 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is: "
11 " .
____________________________________________________ → "
x = 11 " .
____________________________________________________Explanation:____________________________________________________Set up the ratio/ proportion as a fraction:
6 cm / 48 cm = 5 cm / (3x + 7) ;
→ The "cm" units cancel out; since: "cm/cm = 1 " ;
→ The "6/48" = "(6 ÷ 6) / (48 ÷ 6) = " 1/8 " ;
→ Rewrite as:

;
Now, we can "cross-multiply" :
__________________________________________________<u>Note</u>:

;
{b

; d

} .
__________________________________________________ As such:
1 * (3x + 7) = 8 * 5 ;
→ 3x + 7 = 40 ;
Subtract "
7" from each side of the equation:
→ 3x + 7 − 7 = 40 <span>− 7 ;
</span>
to get:
→ 3x = 33 ;
Now, divide each side of the equation by "
3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 3x / 3 = 33 / 3 ;
to get:
____________________________________________________ → "
x = 11 " .
____________________________________________________ →
The answer is: "
11 " .
