Hey there!
We can simplify this by combining like terms.
-5g+10+7g-3
-5g+7g+10-3
2g+7
Let me know if this helps :)
Answer:
Santana scored 12 2-point baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Santana converted 22 baskets in his last basketball game, totaling 54 points at the end of the game, and that in basketball the baskets are worth 2 and 3 points, to determine the number of baskets of each value that Santana converted, the following logic reasoning must be done:
If all the baskets were 2 points, the total of points made would have been 44 (22 x 2). Now, there are 10 more points, which are attributable to the 3-point baskets (that is, each extra point is a 3-point basket). Therefore, since 54 minus 44 equals 10, Santana made 10 3-point baskets and 12 2-point baskets.
This is verified through the following calculation:
(10 x 3) + (12 x 2) = X
30 + 24 = X
54 = X
Answer = $44
1. Divide $140 by 5/7. It will give us how much Kelvin had originally, which is $196
(I got 5/7 by doing 7/7 - 2/7)
2. Find 2/7 of 196 by multiplying them. This is 56....meaning that Kelvin gave James $56
3. Subtract 100 - 56 to find how much James had before this, which is $44.
You have to divide both 9 & 6 by their greatest common factor which is 3 so the answer is 3

Answer:
<h2>x = -2 (verified by algebra) ✅</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the value of y, we can replace it with 5x + 7.
We now have: 3x + 5x + 7 = -9
We can now simplify by adding 3x and 5x to get 8x.
8x + 7 = -9
We can subtract 7
8x = -16
And now, we divide by 8
x = -2
We can check to make sure we are correct
3(-2) + 5 (-2) + 7 = -9
-6 + -10 + 7 = -9
-9 = -9 ✅
