Answer: x= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ( 3x + 5 ) - 3 = 9x - 7

12x + 20 - 3 = 9x - 7

12x + 17 = 9x - 7

subtract 9x from both sides

12x + 17 - 9x = -7

3x + 17 = -7

subtract 17 from both sides

3x= -7-17

3x= -24

divide both sides by 3

x= -24/3

simplify

x= -8

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4( 3x +5 ) - 3 = 9x -7

Distribute

12x +20 -3 = 9x -7

Combine like terms

12x+17 = 9x-7

Subtract 9x from each side

12x-9x +17 = 9x-9x-7

3x +17 = -7

Subtract 17 from each side

3x+17-17 = -7-17

3x = -24

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8

Fill in the blanks to complete the area model to solve 6.60 divided by 15 is the same as _ x ? = _ 6.60 = _ hundredths

storchak [24]

Answer:

$15 x = 6.60$

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Required

Complete the model

[ ] x = 6.60

x = _ hundredths

$\frac{6.60}{15}$

Equate to x

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

Multiply both sides by 15

$15 * x = \frac{6.60}{15} * 15$

$15 * x = 6.60$

$15 x = 6.60$

So, we have:

[ ] x = 6.60 =====> $15 x = 6.60$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{6.60}{15}$

$x = 0.44$

This implies that:

$x = 44\ hundredths$

Hence:

x = _ hundredths =====> $x = 44\ hundredths$

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the longest tooth is 4 3/4 and the shortest is 3 1/4. So if you subtract 4 3/4 - 3 1/4, you will get the answer 1 2/4, which you can simplify to 1 1/2 or 1.5 :)
