Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-1=3x-7

Add both sides by 7 to isolate 3x

-1+7=3x-7+7

6=3x

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

6/3=3x/3

2=x

I hope this helps!

Paul owes Paula 35 cents and has a pocket full of 5-cent coins, 10-cent coins, and 25-cent coins that he can use to pay her. Wha
kykrilka [37]
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!

now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?

we have to divide:

35/5=7

so we would use 7 coins.

And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.

The gas mileage for a certain vehicle can be approximated by m=−0.05x2+3.5x−49, where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. Dete
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph

If R is the midpoint of QS,QR=5x-4 and RS=2x+2,find QS
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

First graph it out. Once you do that you can see that QR is the same as RS. So you can do the equation 5x-4=2x+2. Once you solve this out you would get 2.4. I'm just an advanced 7th grader, so you can redo the problem to make sure  

Step-by-step explanation:

QS=2.4
