Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
let b represent the number of blue marbles then
yellow = 5b + 7 and
b + 5b + 7 = 37, that is
6b + 7 = 37 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
6b = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )
b = 5
Thus there are 5 blue and 5(5) + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 yellow marbles
<span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9
When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution. If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could multiply each side by 10. Then the
equation is
5x - 1 = -29
You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:
</span><span><span>5x - 1 = -29
Add 1 to each side: 5x = -28
Divide each side by 5 : x = -28 / 5
Simplify the solution: x = -5 and 4/5 .
Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

Answer: 22
Step-by-step explanation:
To get from 59 to 51 you subtract 8 then it was minus 7, then minus 6, then minus 5, and then it just kept going down like that
Let

. Then

, and differentiating both sides with respect to

gives


Now, when

, you get

You have

, so

and

. So
