Justify means plug answer in and verify
so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x
143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x
justify
plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143
true
x=-2
Answer:
n-3
Step-by-step explanation:
for every input, the output is three less (4-3=1, 7-3=4, 8-3=5). That rule needs to stay consistent, so no matter what the input is (n), the output is always going to be three less than, making it y or output=n-3
Answer:
0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer+Step-by-step explanation:
m = man's age
s = son's age
m=s+36
(m+8)=3*(s+8)
Resolves to: s=10, m=46
So the man is 46 (=10+36).
In 8 years, son is 18 (=10+8), man is 54 (=3*18 and 46+8), thank you.
The history museum is less that 9 4/5 miles. 9/10 means that the 9 3/4 mile is broken up into 10 equal parts and the distance to the museum is only 9 of those parts. 9 3/4 (9.8) divided by 10 equals 98/100 (.98)
98/100 x 9 = 882/100 or 8.82
Justin's house is 8.82 miles from the museum.
