Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that dont contain variables
Answer: x=3
Answer: -1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation
just add the fractions together :)
(between the -2 and -1 1/2)
4(x+2)+2=14
4x+8+2=14
4x+10=14
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x=4
Divide by 4 on both sides
x=1
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation is given by
y = kx where k is the constant of variation
-35 = k*7
-35/7 = k
-5 = k
y = -5x
We know y = -85
-85 = -5x
Divide each side by -5
-85/-5 = x
17 =x
