Answer:

X =30/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first way would be something like:

-7x + 10 = -20. The first thing we would do is to subtract 10 from both sides.

Therefore,

-7x+10-10=-20-10

Simplified, we get

-7x=-30

Remove the negative symbols

7x =30

x=30/7

Second example:

10=7x - 20

Add 20 to both sides.

10+20=7x-20+20

Simplified,

30=7x

x = 30/7

Answer:

What is the solution?

✔ x = 30/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You can take this equation into two approaches.

#1 subtracting 4x from both sides:

-3x+10=4x-20 (subtract 4x from each side)

-7x+10=-20 (then subtract 10 from each side)

-7x=-30 (then divide by -7 to get x by itself)

x=30/7

#2 Add 3x to both sides:

-3x+10=4x-20 (Add 3x to both sides)

10=7x-20 (then add 20 to each side)

30=7x (divide both sides by 7)

30/7=x

Either way you do it you will get x=30/7 as your answer.

To raise money for new uniforms, the band boosters sell t-shirts and hats. The cost and sale price of each item is shown. The bo
Mila [183]
Found the problem:
Item     Cost       Sales Price
T-shirt    6                10
hats       4                  7

Let x = t-shirts, y = hats

6x + 4y = 2,000
10x + 7y = 3,375

4y = 2000 - 6x
y = 2000/4 - 6x/4
y = 500 - 3x/2

10x + 7y = 3,375
10x + 7(500 - 3x/2) = 3,375
10x + 3500 - 21x/2 = 3,375
10x - 10.5x = 3,375 - 3500
-0.5x =  -125
-0.5x / -0.5 = -125/-0.5
x = 250 shirts

They will need 250 shirts.

Alicia borrowed 15,000 to buy a car. She borrowed the money at 8% for 6 years. How much will she have to pay the bank at the end
Leya [2.2K]

Hello,

Alicia borrowed $15,000

At 8% for 6 years

To get the % for 1 year

First multiply 15,000 by 8% (On a calculator would be easier)

You get 1,200

Now since she borrowed the money for 6 years, multiply 1,200 and 6

You get $7,200

So now, you add the $15,000 and $7,200

So Alicia has to pay $22,200 at the end of 6 years

Hope this helps

The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race. First they reduce their time by 1.2 minutes. Then they are able
Digiron [165]

Answer:

5.2 Minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by working backward.  Since our number gets smaller by a 1/10 or 0.1, in order to work backward we must multiply 3.60 by 10/9, since one tenth has been taken away already.  When we do this, we get 4.0.  When we add 1.2 minutes to that, we get a final answer of 5.2 minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
