Answer:
1.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms. The 5x is grouped to the 8x and the -7 isgrouped with the -55.
This means 5x + 8x = 13x and -7 - 55 = -62
The new expression is 13x - 62. We can't find the exact value of x because the expression wasn't set equal to anything.
Answer:
5220
Step-by-step explanation:
1- 20x36/2 is 360
(360 x 2 is 720)
2. 25x50 is 1250
3. 29x50 is 1450
4. 36x50 is 1800
720+1250+1450+1800 is 5220
Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
Answer:
D). 6 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The three eggs with the heaviest weights are;
ounces
ounces, &
2 ounces
To find,
The total weight of the three heaviest eggs = ounces + ounces + 2 ounces
= 5/2 + 9/4 + 2/1
Taking the L.C.M. of 2, 4, and 1,
= 10/4 + 9/4 + 8/4
= (10 + 9 + 8)/4
= 27/4 or 6 3/4
