So represent missing number with x
x means unknown so
x+-1=+1
adding a negative means subtraction
x-1=1
you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
add 1 to both sides
x+1-1=1+1
x+0=2
x=2
the number is 2
Answer:
85 girls and 140 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
it would be 2(2^5), which is two times two to the fifth power. you take the original size and double it for every minute, which is like squaring it, but to the power of five, because it doubles once every minute for five minutes. i hope this makes sense!:)
Since both equations are equal to y you can just make them equal to each other, like this 3x + 7 = x - 9. From there isolate the varible x on one side so that the solution will be on the other side of the equation. I'll do the steps too for you.
3x + 7 = x - 9
2x + 7 = -9
2x = -16
x = -8
Hope this helps :)
It is A because if you do your seven step process it will be A
