-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)
-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)
-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)
~ Solving
-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x
~ Solving for variable 'x'.
~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x
-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-4 + 3x = -28 + 0
-4 + 3x = -28
~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 3x = -28 + 4
3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24
3x = -24
~ Divide each side by '3'.
x = -8

x = -8
Answer:
The amount of nuts is 16 kg and cereal mixture is 44 kg to obtain 60 kg of a mix that will sell for $1.40 per kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x=nuts at $2.50 per kg
y=cereal at $1 per kg
x+y=60 kg (1)
2.50x+y=1.40(60) (2)
From (1)
x=60-y
Substitute x=60-y into (2)
2.50x+y=1.40(60)
2.50(60-y)+y=84
150-2.5y+y=84
-1.5y=84-150
-1.5y=-66
Divide both sides by -1.5
y=44 kg
Substitute y=44 into (1)
x+y=60
x+44=60
x=60-44
=16
x=16 kg
First you would divide 45 by 9 to see how many times it will double which gives you 5. Then, you would multiply 2000 by 2^5 (or just 2000x2x2x2x2x2) to get $64000
X=7.5 area= 42
You know that the total perimeter is 39 so to find x you need to add what you already have. You’ll find there are 3 sides you don’t know the length of and all you have to do is find the shorter one which is basically 9-7=2 then add everything together and subtract it from 39 then divide it by 2 to find the two sides left
