Answer:

-4x+7= -21

-4x= -21-7( this positive 7 will change to negative as we take in other side )

-4x = -28

Both the negative will be cancelled

4x = 28

x = 28/4

X = 7

therefore the X value is 7

- 4x+7=-21

-4x=-21-7

-4x=-28

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are collected first

The +7 moves to the other side of the equality sign making its sign negative (-7)

Two negatives makes a positive but the sign remains negative (when you have two numbers with a negative sign you sum them up but the sign of the sum remains negative)

Then divide both side by the coefficient of x which is - 4

-4x/4 =-28/4

The negative signs cancel out

x=7

The next test will be a hundred points total, but only forty questions will be asked. Some questions are worth two points each a

Answer:

10 questions that are 4-point
30 questions that are 2-point

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Numerical reasoning</em>

If all questions were 2-point, the total score would be 80. It is 20 more than that. Each 4-point question that replaces a 2-point question will add 2 points to the score, so there must be 20/2 = 10 of them.

There are 10 4-point questions and 30 2-point questions.

_____

<em>With an equation</em>

Let x represent the number of 4-point questions. Then 40-x is the number of 2-point questions. The total number of points is ...

... 2(40-x) +4x = 100

... 2x +80 = 100 . . . . simplify

... 2x = 20 . . . . . . . . .subtract 80

... x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.

There are 10 4-point questions and 40-10=30 2-point questions.

Can someone solve this please?

Answer:

3.16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the points P1 (6, 8) and P2 (7, 5)) can be solved by using the distance formula given as $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ .
