Answer:

-16x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

Break it into little pieces; start with distributing the -7:

-7(5+x)

Now add the rest of the problem: 7-35-7x-9x

Combine like terms: 7-35 7x-9x

7-35=-28 7x-9x=-16x

Rearrange so the coefficient and variable are upfront, giving you:

-16x-28

Which equation can be used to solve the following word problem? Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, and the total value of his c

9966 [12]

Answer:

Seth has 21 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.

Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents. Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then

$5n+10(n-8)=235.$

Solve this equation:

$5n+10n-80=235,\\ \\15n=235+80,\\ \\15n=315,\\ \\n=21.$
