Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
7(x + 2) - 5 = 30 ( add 5 to both sides )
7(x + 2) = 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = 3
Divide the actual building's measurements by the replica's measurements.

The measurements of the actual building are divided by
20 not 12.
The crew member's calculation is
incorrect.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
(9x2 + 6x – 7) + (-9x - 5) = 21
You can reword the two equations as:
-5x-y=15 (Divide original value by 3)
-2x+6y=6
Then use elimination to find x:
-30x-6y=90 (Multiply by 6 to get y values to be same to cancel out)
-2x+6y=6
You're left with:
-32x=96. Which can then be solved to find x which is -3.
Then plug back in
-2x+6y=6
Now to: -2(-3)+6y=6.
Which reduces to 6+6y=6. So y=0.
To graph them, just reword the equations (yes once again) so that y is in front.
y=-5x-15 and y=(1/3)x+1
