Answer:

x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7x -9 = x +7.5

2.7x - x = 7.5 + 9

1.7x = 16.5

x = 16.5/1.7

x = 9.7

Answer:

x = 9.70588

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.7x - 9 = x + 7.5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides:                    1.7x - 9 = 7.5
  2. Add 9 on both sides:                           1.7x = 16.5
  3. Divide 1.7 on both sides:                     x = 9.70588

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Substitute in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    2.7(9.70588) - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  2. Multiply:                               26.2059 - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  3. Subtract/Add:                      17.2059 = 17.2059

Here we see that 17.2059 does indeed equal 17.2059.

∴ x = 9.70588 is a solution of the equation.

Hello : let  A(2,55)    B(4,91)<span>
the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(91-55)/(4-2)  = 36/2 =18
an equation is : y-55 = 18(x-2)</span>

<span> y-intercept when : x = 0  :  y - 55 = 18(0-2)
y-55 = -36
y = 55-36 = 19</span>

What the answer to this equation be?
scoray [572]

If you expand the square, you have

\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-3x=7x+8-10x

Simplify the right hand side:

\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-3x=-3x+8

Cancel the -3x appearing on both sides:

\dfrac{1}{4}x^2=8

Multiply both sides by 4:

x^2=32

Consider the square root of both terms (using the doubles sign):

x=\pm\sqrt{32}=\pm4\sqrt{2}
