Answer:

x = 41/3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

7(1x - 3) = 4(x + 5)

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

  1. Simplify:                                        7(x - 3) = 4(x + 5)
  2. Distribute:                                     7x - 21 = 4x + 20
  3. Subtract 4x on both sides:          3x - 21 = 20
  4. Add 21 on both sides:                  3x = 41
  5. Divide 3 on both sides:                x = 41/3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    7(1(41/3) - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
  2. Multiply:                        7(41/3 - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
  3. Subtract/Add:               7(32/3) = 4(56/3)
  4. Multiply:                        224/3 = 224/3

Here, we see that 224/3 is indeed equivalent to 224/3. ∴ x = 41/3 is a solution to the equation.

And we have our final answer!

Select the sentence that represents the equation below.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

4x−8=2(2x−3)

We will try to translate the given equation in English.

We can see that the variable used is only one. On the left hand side of the equation 8 is being subtracted from 4 times of the variable and on the right hand side 3 is being subtracted from 2 times of variable and then being multiplied by two.

From the given option, correct answer is:

Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.

What four consecutive intergers have a sum of -34
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

-7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer = k

So, the next three consecutive integers are ( k+1), ((k + 1) + 1)  and (((k + 1) + 1) +1)

or, k , (k +1), (k +2) and (k +3) are four consecutive integers.

Now, their sum is -34.

⇒k   + (k +1) +  (k +2) +  (k +3)  = -34

or, 4k  + 6 = -34

or, 4k = - 34 - 6 = -40

⇒  k = -40/ 4 = -10

Hence, the first integer k = -10

The next integer = k + 1 = -10 + 1 = -9

Similarly next two integers are -8 and - 7.

So -7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.

Anna11 [10]

Responder:

2 1/4 m; 225 cm

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado:

Cortar 9 metros en 4 partes de la misma longitud;

Por lo tanto,

9 metros / 4

= 2,25 metros

Por lo tanto, cada varilla será 2.25 = 2 1/4 m

En cm;

1 m = 100 cm

2,25 metros = x

x = 100 * 2,25

x = 225 cm
