First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!
Answer:
x = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)
-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0
-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0
-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3
-3 + 7x + -3x = 0
Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x
-3 + 4x = 0
Solving
-3 + 4x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 4x = 0 + 3
4x = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
4x = 3
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 0.75
Simplifying
x = 0.75
2 would be the correct answer:)
D) initial value of 60 and multiplying by 1/3
The answer would most likely be C
