3 + 5x = 20 + 7x
First subtract 20 to both sides
-17 + 5x = 7x
Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)
-17 = 2x
Divide 2 to isolate the x
-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x
A quarter Multiplied by a number plus five is equivalent to a number Minus seven
Answer:
4x² + 12x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
This would be the trinomial.
Answer:
Solve by adding or subtracting like terms. (Ex. 2k + 4k = 6k; 9 + 7 = 16)
- 6k + 7k = 1k = k
(7 - 6 = 1)
12r - 8 - 12 = 12r - 20
(8 + 12 = 20 but sign is negative) 12r will stay the same because there are no terms with a letter r.
n - 10 + 9n - 3 = 9n + n - 10 - 3 = 10n - 10 - 3 = 10n - 13
(n = 1 so 9 + 1 = 10; 10 + 3 = 13 but negative sign)
- 4x - 10x = 14x
(10 + 4 = 14)
- r - 10r = 11r
(r = 1 so 10 + 1 = 11)
Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!
