Use simultaneous equations:
2x + 7 = x^2 + 8x - 9
7 = x^2 + 6x - 9
16 = x^2 + 6x
+ or - 4 = 7x
answer is
-4/7 or 4/7
Answer:
23 Seconds
The roach is going 2 feet per second so you can split the amount of feet in half because he will go the same distance 2 times as fast.
Step 1: 6x - 2x - 5 = -6 + 21
Step 2: 6x - 2x - 5 = 15
Step 3: 4x - 5 = 15
The next step would be to add 5 to both sides of the equation.
so Step 3: 4x - 5 = 15 .......add 5 to both sides would make
Step 4: 4x = 20
So after the next step you would have 4x = 20
Hope this helps! :)

Answer: 19</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Draw out a number line. Plot -7 and 12 on the number line. Draw in the tickmarks between them. You should find the distance from -7 to 12 is 19 units since you need to go 19 spaces from either -7 to 12, or vice versa.
You can use subtraction to get
-7-12 = -19
or
12-(-7) = 12+7 = 19
The final result is made positive since negative distance does not make sense.
So you'd have |-7-12| = |-19| = 19 or |12-(-7)| = |19| = 19.
All of this only works because the two y coordinates are the same, which makes a horizontal line through the two given points.
200 is wrong because I just need to answer this question to finish my profile fully!
