Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...

3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3

3x + 3 = 7x -17

Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides

3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x

20 = 4x

If we isolate x alone we have:

20/4 = x or x = 5

Answer:

<h2>x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(1)=(7)(x)+(7)(-2)-3\\\\3x+3=7x-14-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3x+3=7x+(-14-3)\\\\3x+3=7x-17\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3x+3-3=7x-17-3\\\\3x=7x-20\qquad\text{subtract 7x from both sides}\\\\3x-7x=7x-7x-20\\\\-4x=-20\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-20}{-4}\\\\x=5

Fgh is first translated using the rule x,y &gt;x+3,y-1this is followed by a 90 degrees counter clockwise rotation centered at th
maw [93]

Answer:

Rule:

h = (1 - y,x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I will answer generally, since the coordinates of f, g and h are not given</em>

Given

Point: x, y

Translation Rule

1 : x + 3, y - 1

2: 90 degree counterclockwise

Required

Determine the new coordinates

<u>At the first translation of (x,y) by x + 3, y - 1</u>

The new point is: (x + 3, y - 1)

<u>At the second translation (90 degrees counterclockwise)</u>

When a point (x,y) is translated using this rule, it becomes (-y,x)

So, the new point is:

h = (-(y - 1),x + 3)

h = (1 - y,x + 3)

If the initial point of h is (2,3),

The new point is:

h = (1 - 3, 2 + 3)

h = (- 2, 5)

mina [271]

Answer: 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 16 minutes for the first 2 stations to water their sections which means that the time taken per station is:

= 16/2

= 8 minutes per station

Ms. Reynolds has 5 stations.

Total time taken will therefore be:

= 8 * 5

= 40 minutes
