How to solve 3x/7 - 1/2 = 1/14

Answer: 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we should all get the denominators to be the same.

14 is the LCM of each of the denominators, so:

3x / 7 times 2/2 = 6x/14

-1/2 times 7/7 = -7/14

and 1/14 is 1/14

So now we have

6x/7 + -7/14 = 1/14

We can multiply everything by 14 to get rid of the denominator completely, which leaves us with:

6x - 7 = 1

Then we just solve like a normal equation:

6x = 8

x = 8/6 , or 4/3

In the image shown, line n is a transversal cutting parallel lines l and m. ∠1 = 3x + 18 ∠7 = 2x + 39 What is the measure of ∠7?
wel

Answer:

B) 81°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the figure given below,

∠1 = 3x + 18

∠7 = 2x + 39

∠1  and ∠7 are a pair of exterior alternate angles. For two parallel lines l and m, cut by a transversal n, the pair of exterior alternate angles are congruent to each other.

Therefore, the angles 1 and 7 are congruent to each other. This gives,

∠1  ≅ ∠7

3x+18=2x+39\\\\3x-2x=39-18\\\\x=21

Therefore, the value of 'x' is 21.

Now, the measure of angle 7 can be calculated by plugging in the value of 'x' in the expression for angle 7. This gives,

\angle 7 = 2x + 39\\\\\angle 7 =2\times 21+39\\\\\angle 7 =42+29\\\\\angle 7 =81\°

Therefore, the correct option is option (B).

1. Enrico sold a 10-pound box of assorted chocolates. Some of the chocolates in the box sold
N76 [4]

This shows that about 7 and 3 pounds of each chocolate were included in the mixture.

Let the number of pounds of both chocolates be x and y.

If Enrico sold a 10-pound box of assorted chocolates, hence;

x + y = 10 ................. 1

If some of the chocolates in the box sold  for $1.75 per pound and some sold for $2.00 per pound with mixture sold for $1.90 per pound, then:

1.75x + 2x = 1.90 ................ 2

Solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.

x + y = 10 ................. 1 * 20

17.5x + 20x = 19 ................ 2 * 1

____________________________

20x + 20y = 200

17.5x + 20x = 19

Subtract

20x - 17.5x = 200 - 19

2.5x = 181x = 7.24

Substitute 7.24 into 1

x  + y = 10

y = 10 - 7.24

x = 2.76

This shows that about 7 and 3 pounds of each chocolate were included in the mixture.
