Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
5( x + 7) - 3 ( x - 4) = 7x + 2
Distribute
5x+35 - 3x +12 = 7x +2
2x +47 = 7x+2
Subtract 2x from each side
2x+47-2x =7x -2x+2
47 = 5x+2
Subtract 2 from each side
47-2= 5x+2-2
45= 5x
Divide by 5
45/5 =5x/5
9 =x
<span>3(x+2)= 4x+1 |Given
3x+6= 4x+1 |Distributive
−x+6= 1 |SPOE (Subtraction Property of Equality)
−x= −5 |SPOE
x=5 |MPOE (Multiplication Property of Equality)</span>
Differentiate both sides wrt 
:
By the chain rule, we get
Solve for 
:
Plug n = 14 into the formula
= -5(14) + 90
= -70 + 90 = 20
Answer:
Your number is -10
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
Twice a number is 2x
Added to 7 means + 7 so 2x + 7
Is means =
2x+7=
At this point I have to assume you mean
"is the same as three subtracted from THE SAME number"
Otherwise, rather than a number, we end up with the
equation of a line....
2x + 7 = x - 3 subtract x from both sides
x + 7 = -3 subtract 7 from both sides
x = -10
Your number is -10
Check: 2x+7 = x-3
2(-10) + 7 = -10-3
-20+7 = -13
-13 = -13
The answer fits the parameters of the problem.
