Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we compute -5(x + 7). -5(x + 7) = -5x - 35. Plugging this into the equation, we have -5x - 35 = -14 + 2x Next, we combine like terms by moving all terms with the variable x to the left side. We have -5x - 2x = -14 + 35. We simplify the equation into -7x = 21. Divide 21 by -7, and we get x = -3.

Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok let's start by using the distributive property

(-5)(x)+(-5)(7)=-14+2x\\-5x-35=-14+2x

Now subtract 2x from both sides

-5x-35-2x=2x-14-2x\\-7x-35=-14

Next add 35 to both sides

-7x-35+35=-14+35\\-7x=21

Finally divide both sides by -7

\frac{-7x}{-7} =\frac{21}{-7} \\x=-3

A spinner with 9 equal sections is numbered 1 through 9. The probability of spinning a 1 or a 9 is 2/9 . What is the probability
shtirl [24]
The probability of NOT getting a 1 or a 9 means you have to subtract those two numbers and how many of each are out. Once you do that, count the remaining numbers, put them as the numerator, and then put the overall total of numbers as the denominator. Your answer is 7/9.

Rachel traveled to five different areas (A, B, C, D, and E) to study the number of buckeye butterflies and the number of monarch
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

As we can see our our ration in Area B and Area D gives the same answer, so they are in proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Rachel traveled to 5 areas to find  number of Buckeye and Monarch butterflies.

Areas Rachel Traveled to = A, B, C, D, E

The table given below shows her findings.

Area            Buckeye          Monarch

A                     15              16  

B                      27              36  

C                     12              25  

D                      24              32  

E                      44              33

Now lets find the ratio of Buckeye and Monarch Butterflies in these areas

Area A

Buckeye : Monarch = 15:16 = 0.9375

Area B

Buckeye : Monarch = 27:36 = 0.75

Area C

Buckeye : Monarch = 12:25= 0.48

Area D

Buckeye : Monarch = 24:32 = 0.75

Area E

Buckeye : Monarch = 44:33 = 1.334

As we know that if two ratios give same answer after solving the fraction then these ratios are in proportion.

As we can see our our ration in Area B and Area D gives the same answer, so they are in proportion.

What is algebra? What do you do with algebra?
tigry1 [53]

Algebra is a very important branch of math.

Algebra is a lot like arithmetic which means it follows all the rules of arithmetic, and it still uses the four main operations that arithmetic is built on.

In arithmetic, the only thing that was unknown was the answer to the problem. For example, 39 + 2 = 41.  In algebra, we use a variable to represent the number. A variable is a letter that represents any number. The most common variable is "x".

What is 2 times 2/6?
Aloiza [94]

Hi there!


I can see why you've posted a question like this here - For adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions by whole numbers can be difficult to come out with a precise answer, so let me make it look easier for you!


So, the steps are:


Smush the 2 (whole number) and the 2 (the numerator of the fraction) together on top so its (2)(2) over 6. I can show you what I mean, if you'd like.


\frac{(2)(2)}{6} This is what it should look like.


Now, what is 2 times 2? You can use a calculator for this part.


2 *2 = 4


Now, we can get to the last part, my favorite one!


Simplify \frac{4}{6} down to \frac{2}{3}.


How did we do it? EASY!


See what number does evenly into both numerators and denominators. In this case, 2 goes into 4 twice, and 2 goes into 6 three times, so we're left with our beautiful answer \frac{2}{3}.


That wasn't so bad, was it? You can use this as a guide for figuring out math problems like these, in case you're stuck again. But just in case, message me if you need anymore help! :D
