I don't know if I'm wrong but I think the answer is 7(x+8)

You will have to factor this equation. This means you have to find the lowest number that goes into both 7 and 56 (in other terms, gcf(7, 56)). You will put that as the leading coefficient in this factored term. gcf(7,56) = 7 so 7 will be leading coefficient. It will look somewhat like this 7(a + b) (a and b are just random variables representing what will go inside the parentheses). a and b can be determined by dividing each term in this expression by 7. Hence,
7x + 56 = 7(x + 8).This can obviously also be proven by the distributive property.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

7 ordered with Soda;

3 ordered with water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$m \to$ With water

$n \to$ With Soda

So:

$m + n =10$ --- total

$5m + 6.75n = 62.25$ -- cost

Required

Find m and n

$m + n =10$

Make m the subject

$m = 10 - n$

Substitute $m = 10 - n$ in $5m + 6.75n = 62.25$

$5(10-n) +6.75n = 62.25$

$50-5n +6.75n = 62.25$

Collect like terms

$-5n +6.75n = 62.25 - 50$

$-5n +6.75n = 12.25$

$1.75n = 12.25$

Solve for n

$n = 12.25/1.75$

$n = 7$

$m = 10 - n$

$m = 10 - 7$

$m =3$

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the only number that gets us back to 0 after subtracting 4 is 4, because 4-4=0. The square root of 4 is 2. Hope my explanation wasn't too confusing!

2²=4

4-4=0
