You have to make sure that whatever you do to one side, you also do to the other.

2x + 37 = 8x + 7
2x + 37 - 2x = 8x + 7 - 2x
37 = 6x + 7
37 - 7 = 6x + 7 - 7
30 = 6x
30 / 6 = 6x / 6
5 = x
x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle.

sinC = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{16}{28}$ , thus

∠ C = $sin^{-1}$ ( $\frac{16}{28}$ ) ≈ 34.85° ( to 2 dec. places )

Amy wrote a check for $32 to pay her monthly electricity bill, but when balancing her checkbook, she accidentally recorded it as

ElenaW [278]

Her check register will have a surplus of 64 dollars compared to her actual balance.
example
100 +32 = 132 (incorrect)
100 -32 = 68 (correct)
132 -68 = 64 surplus
