Explain how to isolate the variable in the equation -2/3+7=15

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

n= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2n/3  + 7=15          Subtract 7 from both sides and move all terms containing

           -7 = -7                      n to the right

- 2n/3 = 8                multiply both sides of equation by - 3/2

-3/2  x (-2n/3) = -3/2 x 8

n= -3/2 x 8                     cancel the common factor of 3

n= -12

Pre-orders for the yearbook cost $38 each and full price cost $45 each. If 24 students in Mr. Hillman's class purchased yearbook
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

15 students preordered the year book and 9 students paid full price.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Cost of pre-ordered year book = \$38 each

Cost of full price of year book = \$45 each

Number of students in Mr. Hillman's class purchased yearbooks = 24

Total price spent by 24 students to purchase year book = \$975

Need to determine number of students pre-ordered and number of students paid full price.

Let assume number of student pre-ordered year book = x

As out of 24, x students pre-ordered the yearbook , so remaining are the ones who paid full price

So number of students paid full price = 24-x

Money spent by students who pre-ordered the book = number of student pre-ordered year book multiplied by Cost of 1 pre-ordered year book = x\times38 = 38x

Money spent by students who paid full price = number of students paid full price x Cost of 1 full price year book = (24-x)\times 45 = 1080-45x

Total price spent by 24 students to purchase year book = Money spent by students who pre-ordered the book + Money spent by students who paid full price

\Rightarrow 975=38 x+1080-45 x

On solving above expression for x, we get

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 975-1080=38 x-45 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-105=-7 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \frac{-105}{-7}=x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x=15}\end{array}

Number of student pre-ordered year book = x=15

Number of students paid full price = 24-x = 24-15 = 9

Hence 15 students pre-ordered the year book and 9 students paid full price.

Consider this system of equations. Which shows the second equation written in slope-intercept form? y = 3 x minus 2. 10 (x + thr
Arte-miy333 [17]

Question

Consider this system of equations. Which shows the second equation written in slope-intercept form?

y = 3x - 2.

10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

A. y = 5x + \frac{3}{10}

B. y = 5x + 3

C. y = \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{3}{25}

D. y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6

Answer:

B. y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equation 1: y = 3x - 2.

Equation 2: 10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

Required:

Equivalent of equation 2

To get an equivalent of equation 2 (in slope intercept form), first we have to simplify equation 2

10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

Open the bracket

10*x + 10 *\frac{3}{5} = 2y

10x + \frac{30}{5} = 2y

Simplify fraction

10x + 6 = 2y

Divide through by 2

\frac{10x}{2}  + \frac{6}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}

5x + 3 = y

Re-arrange

y = 5x + 3

The next step is to compare each of option A through D with y = 5x + 3

A.

y = 5x + \frac{3}{10} is not equal to y = 5x + 3

We check the next available option

B.

y = 5x + 3 is equal to y = 5x + 3

This option is equivalent to the second equation in slope-intercept form.

We check further if there are more equivalent options

C.

y = \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{3}{25}

Convert fraction to decimal

y = 0.2x + 0.12

This is not equal to y = 5x + 3

D.

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6

Convert fraction to decimal

y = 0.5x + 6

This is not equal to y = 5x + 3

Hence, the only equation that is equivalent to the second equation written in slope intercept form is Option B
