Answer:

  -14x +21 = 7x -24

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your use of the multiplication symbol in this problem (×) is intended to represent the variable x.

The distributive property tells you that the factor outside parentheses multiplies each of the terms inside parentheses:

  a(b+c) = ab+ac

Your equation can be simplified as ...

  -7(2x -4) -7 = 3(x -5) +4x -9 . . . . given

  -7(2x) +(-7)(-4) -7 = 3x +3(-5) +4x -9 . . . . use the distributive property

  -14x +28 -7 = 3x -15 +4x -9 . . . . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication

  -14x +21 = x(3+4) -(15 +9) . . . . identify and group like terms on the right*

  -14x +21 = 7x -24 . . . . . . . . . . do the arithmetic

_____

* note that the distributive property can also be used to combine terms:

  3x +4x = x(3+4) = 7x

A gerbil cage,priced at $18, is discounted 20% for one week, and then this price is marked up 20%. is the price back to 20% expl
stiks02 [169]
No, it isn't!

first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6

this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4

now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88

so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18

what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF

For each expression, write an equivalent expression that only uses addition a. 20 - 9 + 8 -7 b. 4x - 7y - 5z + 6 c. -3x - 8y - 4
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a. =11+ 1

b. =4x+ (-7y) + (-5z) +6

c. (-3x) + (-8y) +(-4)+(-8/7z)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 20 - 9 + 8 -7

=11+ 1  ( this is obtained by solving)

b. 4x - 7y - 5z + 6

=4x+ (-7y) + (-5z) +6

We multiply the negative sign with the positive sign to get a minus so the answer remains the same and the expression is written as an addition sum.

c. -3x - 8y - 4 - 8/7z

-[ 3x+8y+4+8/7z]

or

(-3x) + (-8y) +(-4) +(-8/7z)

The minus sign is taken as common leaving the expression with the plus only.

It can be written in the same manner as above, adding the negative terms so that the expression is written as a sum.
