Answer:

45 and 31

Explanation:

1. Do 76/2(=38) and then add 7 to that because you want the numbers to be 14 apart.(38+7=45)

2. Then do 76-45 to get the other number which is 31.

When solving for -1/5(x-25)=7 what is the correct sequence of operations

slamgirl [31]

A sequence of operations that will get you to the solution is ...

... d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side

_____

That is not the only correct sequence of operations. However the other ones listed here are incorrect ways to get to x = -10.

You can do whatever multiplication and addition you like to each side of the equation, but if those operations are poorly chosen, they will make finding the solution more difficult.
