Answer: x=1/2

she was wrong, it's supposed to be

Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)

8x+−24+7=−26x

(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)

8x+−17=−26x

8x−17=−26x

Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.

8x−17+26x=−26x+26x

34x−17=0

Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.

34x−17+17=0+17

34x=17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.

34x/34=17/34 x=1/2

in 4.5 hours, 11.25 inches of snow fell suppose the same amount of snow fell each hour how much snow fell each hour

Julli [10]

If 11.25 inches snow fell in 4.5hrs,
Then for each hr how much snow fell?

So,
4.5 : 11.25
To find how many inches that fell per hour who would need to divide the number of inches by the numbers of hours

11.25 divided by 4.5 = 2.5

So the answer would be 2.5 inch was of snow per hour

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?"

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so $\frac{3}{5}$ will become $\frac{5}{3}$ .
