Answer:

Sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

So X is a variable meaning its a letter that represents a number. When there are a number and a variable (or a letter) like this 2x or 9y it means you are going to multiply the number by the variable. In this case it is 7 times x is equal to 21 so all we have to do is find what times 7 is equal to 21 and that number is 3. So if 7*x=21 is 7*3=21 then x=3. If you have any questions ill be more than open to answering them, hopefully this helped. Have a good day/night.

7x means 7 times a “mystery number” = 21
We can ask, “7 times what equals 21?”

The math family of equations here is
3 x 7 = 21
7 x 3 = 21
21 / 7 = 3
21 / 3 = 7

So to solve for x, or find out mystery number, we have 7x = 21
Whatever we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other side to keep it equal. Here, we’ll divide both sides by 7, so that on the left side, x is by itself.
Then we have x = 21/7 which is x = 3

Find the smaller of 2 consecutive intergers, x, if the sum of the smaller and 6 times the larger is -29. Write an equation to de
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x = -5 and x+1( consecutive integer) = -4

obviously x is smaller than the next integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer be x

hence the consecutive integer is x +1

according to the give condition

x + 6(x + 1) = -29

x + 6x + 6 = -29

7x = -29 -6

7 x = -35

x = -35/7

x = -5

x + 1 = -5 + 1 = -4

GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE! : )

Ignore the blue and 13. But I don’t understand dividing the polynomials. It says to complete the problem.

OK the next step is to multiply 3r -1 by -7r
this gives us -21r^2 + 7r  and we write it below -21r^2 + 25r
and subtract 
This gives us  18r and we bring down the -6   to give
18r - 6

Finally we divide  18r by  -3r   to give  -6 then  add - 6 to the r^2 - 7r on the top 
then multiply -3r - 1 by -6 to give 18r - 6
subtraction then leaves nothing.

so the answer is r^2 - 7r - 6
