Answer:
x = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 7) = 2x - 3
3 * x = 3x
3 * 7 = 21
3x + 21 = 2x - 3
-21 -21
3x = 2x -24
-2x -2x
x = -24
Answer:
{-14, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.
so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.
so,
x + 5 = 9
x = 4
and
x + 5 = -9
x = -14
that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.
Answer:
Given
Number of stacks = 2
Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm
Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm
Let's first find the average:
With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:
50 / (4/3)
= 50 * 3/4
= 150/4
= 37.5
From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.

Answer:
If each youth saves $10 daily, their weekly savings would be $1400. So they donated $1400 to the church.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the daily pay plan for each youth be $y
Daily pay plan for 20 youth = $20y
Weekly pay plan = 7×20y = $140y
Assuming each youth saves $10 daily
Daily savings for 20 youth = 20×$10= $200
Weekly savings for 20 youth = 7×$200= $1400
If they used the early pay plan ($140y) to go swimming, they saved $1400 which they donated to the church.
