Which equation is true when the value of x is -12

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Which equation is true when the value of x is -12 HERE YOU GO!!

Step-by-step explanation:

tricky ... let's see ...

I notice that if we subtract xy from both sides we get

7x + xy - xy = xy - xy + 21

then

7x = 21

and

x = 21/7 = 3

so there is only one value of x that satisfies the equation

x = 3

Going back to the original equation we see that any value of y will satisfy the original equation

we can see this by rearranging things:

7x + xy - xy = 21

here, I have performed the subtraction of xy on the right side as above, but have left the left side undone

(so we don't lose the presence of y)

Note that the above can also be written as

7x + (x - x)y = 21

or

7x + 0y =21

now, since anything times zero equals zero,

y may be any number.

Let's summarize:

1) x = 3

2) y = anything

looking back at the original question;

1) the equation is true for all ordered pairs

FALSE (only one x works, not all x)

2) there are no x and y pairs for which the equation is true.

FALSE (x=3, y=anything) makes it true, i.e. (3,1)

3) For each value of x, there is one and only one value of y that makes the equation true,

FALSE for each value of x, for the one value of x, x=3, y can be any number, which is an infinite number, not one

4) for each value of y, there is one and only on value of x that makes the equation true.

TRUE!! for all the infinite values of y you may pick, there is one and only one x you may pick, x = 3

ANSWER: STATEMENT 4 is CORRECT (TRUE)

Five-sevenths of a number is -35. what is the number?

White raven [17]

So lets write this equation out. Let x be that number we are trying to find.

So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this

5/7

when you see the word "of" that means multiplication

so we can write the full equation.

(5/7)x = -35

now we can solve

Multiply both sides by 7

5x = -245

now divide by 5
and we get

x = -49

Kimane and a friend picked apples. Kimane picked 4 2/3 and his friend picked 5 5/6 pounds. About how many pound of apples do the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$9\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find many more pounds of apples Kimane and his friend needs to get, we first need to find out how many pounds of apples they picked together.

Kimane = $4\dfrac{2}{3}$

Friend = $5\dfrac{5}{6}$

We add them together to find out how many pounds of apples they currently have.

Total Pounds = $4\dfrac{2}{3}+5\dfrac{5}{6}$

Just to make the equation clearer, we separate the whole numbers from the fractions.

$=4+5+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

Now since we cannot add the 2 fractions directly since they have different denominators, we need to convert the $/dfrac{2}{3}$ into a fraction with the same denominator.

We multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to have the same denominator.

$\dfrac{2*2}{3*2}=\dfrac{4}{6}$

So now we have:

$=9+\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{5}{6}$

$=9+\dfrac{9}{6}or1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Total Pounds = 10\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now that we know how many pounds Kimane and his friend collected, we simply subtract 20 and the total amount Kimane and his friend had already collected.

$20-10\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=9\dfrac{1}{2}$

So Kimane and his friend still need to get $9\dfrac{1}{2}$ more pounds of apples to get 20 pounds of apples.

A polyhedron has 8 vertices and 14 edges. How many faces must it have?

Scorpion4ik [409]

We know that

The Euler's formula state that, the number of vertices, minus the number of edges, plus the number of faces, is equal to two

V - E + F = 2
clear F
F=2-V+E

in this problem
V=8
E=14
F=?
so
F=2-8+14
F=8

the answer is
8 faces

A point charge q1 = 3.30nC is located on the x-axis at x= 1.90m , and a second point charge q2= -6.40 nC is on the y-axis at y=

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

charge q1 is placed at x = 1.90 m and the charge q2 is placed at y = 1.15 m

here, the charge enclosed in a sphere is zero as the radius of sphere is 0.625 m which is less than the x = 1.90 m and y = 1.15 m. So by the Gauss's theorem,

$\phi =\frac{q}{\epsilon _{0}}$

where q is the charge enclosed, as the charge enclosed is zero so the electric flux is zero.
