Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Here this is the new one.

Helga [31]

Formula #1: 0.15x + 22

Formula #2: 0.19x

0.15x + 22 = 0.19x

$15x+2200=19x\\15x=19x-2200\\-4x=-2200\\\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-2200}{-4}\\X = 550$

So x = 550.

I hope this helps! :)
