Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)+6x = 3x-15+7x

3x-15+7x = 65

10x = 80

x = 8

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65 Distribute 3 into (x - 5)

(3)x + (3)(-5) + 7x = 65

3x - 15 + 7x = 65 Combine like terms(terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), or combine 3x and 7x

10x - 15 = 65 Add 15 on both sides

10x - 15 + 15 = 65 + 15

10x = 80 Divide 10 on both sides to get "x" by itself

$\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{80}{10}$

x = 8

PROOF

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65 Substitute/plug in 8 into "x" since x = 8

3(8 - 5) + 7(8) = 65

3(3) + 56 = 65

9 + 56 = 65

65 = 65

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x+y>−4?

hichkok12 [17]

we will proceed to resolve each case to determine the solution

we have

$2x+y>-4$

$y>-2x-4$

we know that

If an ordered pair is the solution of the inequality, then it must satisfy the inequality.

case a) $(5,-12)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-12>-2*5-4$

$-12>-14$ ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair $(5,-12)$ is a solution of the inequality

case b) $(-3,0)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$0>-2*-3-4$

$0>2$ ------> is False

therefore

the ordered pair $(-3,0)$ is not a solution of the inequality

case c) $(-1,-1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-1>-2*-1-4$

$-1>-2$ ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair $(-1,-1)$ is a solution of the inequality

case d) $(0,1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$1>-2*0-4$

$1>-4$ ------> is True

therefore

the ordered pair $(0,1)$ is a solution of the inequality

case e) $(4,-12)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-12>-2*4-4$

$-12>-12$ ------> is False

therefore

the ordered pair $(4,-12)$ is not a solution of the inequality

Verify

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the shaded area above the line

The points A,C, and D lies on the shaded area, therefore the ordered pairs A,C, and D are solution of the inequality

Tiffany is filling her daughters pool with water from a hose. She can fill the pool at a rate of 1/10 gallons/second. Create at

ololo11 [35]

Three equivalent ratios that are associated with this rate would be 6 gallons/1min, 360gallons/1 hour and 720 gallons/2hours.
I'm sorry but I can't explain or show how to use a double number line for this question.
