For the first question, x = 4
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x−7(2−x)=3x+2
4x+(−7)(2)+(−7)(−x)=3x+2(Distribute)
4x+−14+7x=3x+2
(4x+7x)+(−14)=3x+2(Combine Like Terms)
11x+−14=3x+2
11x−14=3x+2
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
11x−14−3x=3x+2−3x
8x−14=2
Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.
8x−14+14=2+14
8x=16
Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.
x=2
Answer:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>
<u>OR</u>
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
It is required to compare Two-fifths, Six-sevenths, Five-eighths, and 1
Two-fifths = 2/5
Six-sevenths = 6/7
Five-eighths = 5/8
So, the given numbers are: 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1
We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least
The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers
So,
2/5 = 0.4
6/7 ≈ 0.857
5/8 = 0.625
1 = 1
So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:
0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1
So,
2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1
The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>
Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>
Answer:
1) either 5 or 6 students in the group
2) 6 rooms are booked
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x students
3x + 8 = apples
5 (x-1) + y (the one get less than 5 apples)
3x + 8 = 5 (x - 1) + y
3x + 8 = 5x - 5 + y
2x + y = 13
X 1 2 3 4 5 6
Y 11 9 7 5 3 1
because y < 5 so x = 5 or x = 6
2) x rooms are booked
4x + 20 total students
8 (x-1) + y (the students in room not full))
4x + 20 = 8 (x-1) + y
4x + 20 = 8x - 8 + y
4x + y = 28
X 1 2 3 4 5 6
Y 24 20 16 12 8 4
y < 8 answer is 6 rooms
