~ Simplifying
-2(7x + -5) = -14x + 10
~ Reorder the terms:
-2(-5 + 7x) = -14x + 10
(-5 * -2 + 7x * -2) = -14x + 10
(10 + -14x) = -14x + 10
~ Reorder the terms:
10 + -14x = 10 + -14x
~ Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
~ Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
-14x = 10 + -10 + -14x
~ Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
-14x = 0 + -14x
-14x = -14x
~ Add '14x' to each side of the equation.
-14x + 14x = -14x + 14x
~ Combine like terms: -14x + 14x = 0
0 = -14x + 14x
~ Combine like terms: -14x + 14x = 0
0 = 0
~ Solving
0 = 0
~ This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
Answer:
Number of quarts=16
Money earned=$32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 4 Gallons of lemonade is prepared
- They charge $2 for a quart
1 Gallon= 4 Quarts
Therefore Number of quarts

Therefore Number of quarts of lemonade prepared by them = 16 quarts
As they charge $2 for each quart
⇒
Total money made if they sell it all

Therefore, if they are to sell all the lemonade that they prepared
They would earn=$32
Answer=7:13
Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight
So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...
Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6
So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6
The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13
So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:
7:13
-3/6 = -1/2 is the slope of the line.
