6? maybe 12 idk but its the best i could do
where's the rest of question so I can help?
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
first you multiply both sides by -3
x + 7 = -3
then you subtract 7 from both sides
x = -10
hope this helps
I believe the answer is B, Oval.
