Answer:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7x+7=5x-21
12x+7=5x-21
12x-5x=-21-7
7x=-28
x=28/7
x=4
METHOD 2:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x
7(x+1)=-21
7x+7=-21
7x=-28
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7x+7=5x-21
12x+7=5x-21
12x-5x=-21-7
7x=-28
x=28/7
x=4
METHOD 2:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x
7(x+1)=-21
7x+7=-21
7x=-28
x=4
n=2
8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)
8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)
<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)
<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40
-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)
-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)
<u><em>n=2</em></u>
Answer: The point (0,0)
This point is also known as the origin
The reason why is because every direct variation equation is of the form y = k*x
where k is some fixed number
If we plugged in x = 0 it leads to y = k*x = k*0 = 0. So (x,y) = (0,0)
Answer:
5 and 9/14
Step-by-step explanation:
convert the numbers into improper fractions
8/7 + 9/2
=
(8 × 2) + (9 × 7)
7 × 2
=
79/14 or 5 and 9/14
