3 + 5x = 20 + 7x
First subtract 20 to both sides
-17 + 5x = 7x
Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)
-17 = 2x
Divide 2 to isolate the x
-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x
The answer would be D since x alone cannot form an expression. It can however be a term, variable, and a constant, because those all need another number to form a formal question.
Answer:
8 inch is your best buy
Step-by-step explanation:
8inch diameter =10 dollars
5 inch radius = 12 dollars
so if we get each equal to the diameter it should be 10 inch and that would be 24 dollars vs . 8 in for 10 dollars. So best buy would be 8 inch
Answer:
a = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
a² + 9² = 12²
a² + 81 = 144 ( subtract 81 from both sides )
a² = 63 ( take square root of both sides )
a = 
Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
