Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are presented with the equation 7( x - 5 ) = 9x - 3 and we are asked to find the value of x. The first thing to do with equations with brackets is expand them out to make solving the equation easier. Then you want to collect all the 'x' terms to one side and all the numerical values to the other so we can make solving the equation easier.

→ 7( x - 5 ) = 9x - 3

⇒ Expand out the brackets

→ 7x - 35 = 9x - 3

⇒ Minus 9x from both sides to collect the 'x' terms

→ -2x - 35 = -3

⇒ Add -35 to both sides to isolate -2x

→ -2x = 32

⇒ Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x

→ x = -16

Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x-5) =9x-3 \\7x -35 = 9x - 3\\3- 35 = 9x - 7x\\-32 = 2x\\x = \frac{-32}{2}\\\huge \red{\boxed{x = -16}}

When x=2 and y=4 what is value of 7x-y
alexira [117]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

So what we are doing in this question is simple substitution

So x = 2, y = 4

7x - y

So lets split it up first

7x

7 * (2)

We plugged in 2 for x

This is equal to 14

So the equation is looking like

14 - y

Now lets do the second part

- y

- (4)

We plugged in 4 for y

So no our equation looks like

14 - 4

= 10
