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

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>→Distribute the 5 to (x + 7), Distribute the -3 to (x - 4):</u>

5(x + 7) - 3(x - 4) = 7x + 2

5x + 35 - 3x + 12 = 7x + 2

<u>→Add like terms:</u>

2x + 47 = 7x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2x from both sides:</u>

47 = 5x + 2

<u>→Subtract 2 from both sides:</u>

45 = 5x

<u>→Divide both sides by 5:</u>

9 = x

Write an expression for the volume of a rectangularprism if the length is 25 cm shorter than some given amount, x, and the width
seraphim [82]

The volume of a prism is given by:

V=lwh

We know that the height is x. The length is 25 shorter than x, this can be express as:

x-25

The width is 14 longer than x, this can be express as:

x+14

Plugging the expressions for the length, the width and the height we have that:

\begin{gathered} V=(x-25)(x+14)x \\ V=x(x-25)(x+14) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the volume of the prism is:

V=x(x-25)(x+14)
