Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10. If you do this, it is much easier to solve. All you do is multiply every term by 10.
the equation changes to
-5(x+3)-2x=41
-5x-15-2x=41
combine like terms
-7x-15=41
bring the 15 over to the 41
-7x=56
divide everything by 7
-x=8
change x to a positive
x=-8
8would be the permiter in my state
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price.
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The method of substitution is when one solves an equation for one of the variables, and then substitutes the expression into the other equation. After doing so, one will solve the other equation for the remaining variable and then backsolve for the first variable.
4x + 2y = 12
x = y + 3
The second equation is already sovled for parameter (x), subttiute this into the other equation,
4(y + 3) + 2y = 12
Distribute,
4y + 12 + 2y = 12
Simplify,
6y + 12 = 12
Inverse operations,
6y + 12 = 12
-12
6y = 0
/6
y = 0
Backsolve for (x), substitute the value of (y) into the equation for (x) and solve,
x = y + 3
x = 0 + 3
x = 3
19/38 and 15/18
Explanation:
19/38 can be reduced as there is a factor other than 1 that can divide without a remainder. Factor is 19
It can still be reduced because 19*2 = 38
19/38 = 1/2
10/19 cannot be reduced as there is no factor other than one to divide without a remainder
21/34 cannot be reduced as there is no factor other than one to divide without a remainder
15/18 can be reduced as there is a factor other than 1 that can divide without a remainder.
The factor is 3
15/18 = 5/6
Fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form are 19/38 and 15/18
