Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number written on the board be x.

1st student's number= x +23

2nd student's number= x -1

<em>1</em><em>st</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>'</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>(</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>2nd</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>)</em><em>,</em>

x +23= 7(x -1)

x +23= 7x -7 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

7x -x= 23 +7 <em>(</em><em>bring</em><em> </em><em>constant</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>)</em>

6x= 30 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

x= 30 ÷6 (÷6 on both sides)

x= 5

Thus, the number written on the board is 5.

PLEASE HELP!!!
igomit [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(p + 4) = 3 - 3p + 1p.....combine like terms

-2(p + 4) = 3 - 2p...distribute the -2 through the parenthesis

-2p - 8 = 3 - 2p

-2p + 2p = 3 + 8

0 = 11 <==== no solution

if it is a false statement, it has no solutions

if it ends like : 6 = 6 or -2 = -2, then there is infinite solutions

if it ends like : x = 8 or x = -5, then there is 1 solution
