Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2x
that is the same as (5 + 2)x
and that is the same as (7)x = 7x
so, for the second part of the problem we are actually comparing
7x
and
7x - 1
there is therefore no way for the two expressions to deliver the same value for the same x.
the values of 7x are always larger by one than the values of 7x - 1
so, e.g.
x = 1
5×1 + 2×1 = 5 + 2 = 7
7×1 - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6
x = 2
5×2 + 2×2 = 10 + 4 = 14
7×2 - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
x = 3
5×3 + 2×3 = 15 + 6 = 21
7×3 - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20
x = 4
5×4 + 2×4 = 20 + 8 = 28
7×4 - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27
x = 5
5×5 + 2×5 = 25 + 10 = 35
7×5 - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34
Answer:
5 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
John deposits $5 per week and has $10, so his equation is 5x + 10.
Jasmine's equation is 3x + 20.
Make them equal to each other and solve for x:
5x + 10 = 3x + 20
Subtract 10 from each side
5x = 3x + 10
Subtract 3x from each side
2x = 10
Divide each side by 2
x = 5
Answer:
13 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since distance is directly proportional to time,
distance = time * a constant
Lets make A the constant
So, 54 = 9A
A = 6
Now, since distance = 78,
78 = time * A
From above, we can see that A = 6, so
78 = time *6
time = 13
Based on the question, there's no stem-and-leaf plot being presented. Nevertheless, giving you the technique, before adding 30 to the data, get the mean and the median. After that, 30 to the data. Then, get the mean and the median. Compare it.
