<u><em>Answer: x=-17 and -17=x. *The answer should be the negative sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a-c=b-c

subtract by 5 both sides of an equation.

x+5-5=-12-5

simplify.

12+5=17

17-5=12

17-12=5

x=-17 and -17=x

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2.50(10) + 3x = 135.97, x = 38.66

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be pretty simple.

Basically, we know that he bought 10 pairs for 2.50 so that's $25 right there.

Our total is 135.97 though-

so here, we take our total from the right side of the equation, and subtract 25 from that.

135.97 - 25 = 115.97

Since he bought three pairs, divide it by 3.

115.97 / 3 = 38.66

One pair of shoes costs $38.66 - hope this helps!

A sum of money is divided in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7 .Given the largest share is $112,calculate the smallest share.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

$32

Step-by-step explanation:

A sum of money is divided in the ratio 2:3:7.

Let the share of each individual be represented by 2x,3x,7x respectively.

The largest share (7x) is given as $112.

\[7x = 112\]

\[=>x = \frac{112}{7}\]

\[=>x = 16\]

So the respective shares are \[2\times16,3\times16,7\times16\]

In other words, the shares are 32,48,112.

So the smallest share is $32
