Answer:9
Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7 = x
First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like:

= x
Fourth, simplify

to

/ Your problem should look like:

= x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x =

Answer as decimal: -3.5
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
Find a common denominator first
3/8 x 3/3 =9/24
1/3x 8/8 =8/24
8/24+9/24=17/24
Answer:
3.98
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question,
Cost is directly proportional to the Number of pounds
Hence:
C ∝ N
= C = kN
Where k = Proportionality constant
We are told:
Last week, she bought two pounds and paid $7.96,
Hence:
7.96 = 2k
k = 7.96/2
k = 3.98
This week she bought only one half pound and paid $1.99,
1.99 = k × 1/2
k = 1.99/ 1/2
k = 3.98
Hence, the constant rate of proportionality is 3.98
