Answer:

= 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. COMBINE MULTIPLIED TERMS INTO A SINGLE FRACTION

- 7/3 (3x-2)= -21

-7 (3x-2) = -21

-----------------------

2. DISTRIBUTE

-7( 3x- 2) ➗ 3 =-21

3. MULTIPLY ALL TERMS BY THE SAME VALUE TO ELIMINATE FRACTION DENOMINATORS

-21x + 14 ➗ 3 = 3 (-21)

4. CANCEL MULTIPLIED TERMS THAT ARE IN THE DENOMINATOR

3 ( -21x + 14) ➗ 3 (-21)

5. MULIPLY THE NUMBERS

-21x + 14 = 3(-21)

6. SUBTRACT 14 FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION

-21x + 14 = -63

7. SIMPLIFY

-21x = - 77

8. DIVIDE BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION BY THE SAME TERM

-21x/-21 = -77/-21

9. SIMPLIFY

x = 11/3

on the football team, two out of every seven players are seniors. if the team has 84 players, how many are not seniors.

zaharov [31]

There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1:</u>

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

<u>Method 2:</u>

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ,2. 25. Point Q is the center of dilation. Line

abruzzese [7]

The distance between points S' and S is x= 2.5 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ 2. 25.

Point Q is the center of dilation.

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S prime T prime.

The length of QT is 1. 2 and the length of QS is 2.

The length of SS prime is x and the length of TT prime is 1. 5.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is x, the distance between points S' and S?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ, 2.25.

Also, SQ = 2 units, TQ = 1.2 units, TT'=1.5, SS' = x.

Since the line ST is dilated to S'T' with the center of dilation Q, the triangles STQ and S'T'Q must be similar.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

So, from ΔSTQ and ΔS'T'Q.

$\dfrac{SQ}{S'Q} = \dfrac{TQ}{T'Q}\\
\\
\dfrac{SQ}{SQ+SS} = \dfrac{TQ}{TQ+TT'}\\
\\ 
\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{1.2+1.5}\\\rm 
\\
\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{2.7}\\\\ \dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{12}{27}\\\\2(27) = (2+x) 12\\\\ 54 = 24 + 12x\\
\\
12x = 54-24\\
\\
12x=30\\
\\
x = \dfrac{30}{12}\\
\\
x = 2.5$
