Answer:
x = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)
-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0
-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0
-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3
-3 + 7x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x
-3 + 4x = 0
Solving
-3 + 4x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 4x = 0 + 3
4x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
4x = 3
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 0.75
Simplifying
x = 0.75
Answer:
9 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 of the porch= 6 boards
so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.
so 3=1/3 of the porch
then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9
so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch
Answer:
97.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
2 * x = 2x
15 * 13 = 195
2x = 195
2x/2 = 195/2
x = 97.5
