C - 0.15c is the same as 1c - 0.15c.
1 - 0.15 = 0.85.
Joe can also use 0.85c.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 - a) = 20 + (6a -1) . . . . . 5-a is 20 greater than 6a-1
5 = 7a +19 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add a, collect terms
-14 = 7a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19
-2 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
The value of the variable is -2.
_____
<u>Check</u>
5 - (-2) = 7
6(-2) -1 = -13
7 is 20 greater than -13, so the answer checks OK.
Answer:
3 * (x + 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark number as x
Then the sum of a number and seven is x + 7
Three times x + 7 can be written as
3 * (x + 7)
Parentheses mean that we first add x and 7 and then multiply their sum by 3
Alternatively you can write it as 3x + 21, since
3 * (x + 7) = 3 * x + 3 * 7 = 3x + 21
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have y=7x-1/2, the inverse is where we solve for x instead of y.
We can isolate x to get 7x=y+1/2, then divide by 7 to get x=y/7+1/14.
Therefore, .
