Answer:

When solving equations like this, you have to use a method called PEMDAS.

This stands for:

<h3>P- Parentesis</h3><h3>E- Exponents</h3><h3>M- Multiply</h3><h3>D- Divide</h3><h3>A- Addition</h3><h3>S- Subtraction</h3>

(7x + 5) - (3x +2)

Let's work it out...

Step one) Distribute the equation

Distributing the equation helps simplify it and make solving much easier.

(7x−5) − 1(3x−2)

(7x−5) − 3x + 2

Step two) Eliminate the Parenthesis

Now that the equation is simplified, you can take out the Parenthesis.

(7x − 5) − 3x + 2

7x − 5 − 3x + 2

Step three: Add the numbers

Add the two whole numbers together (-5 + 2)

7x − 5 − 3x + 2

7x − 3 − 3x

Step four: Combine like terms

Combine like terms or the numbers with variables (7x - 3x)

7x − 3 − 3x

4x − 3

Solution

<h2>4x - 3</h2>

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

x = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(7x + -5) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-5 + 7x) + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-5 + 7x)

-5 + 7x + -1(3x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 7x + -1(-2 + 3x) = 0

-5 + 7x + (-2 * -1 + 3x * -1) = 0

-5 + 7x + (2 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-5 + 2 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: -5 + 2 = -3

-3 + 7x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving

-3 + 4x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 4x = 0 + 3

4x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

4x = 3

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 0.75

Simplifying

x = 0.75

boeing plans to increase its price for jetliners. with a selling price $201.5 million and a cost of $190.1 million, what was the
scoray [572]

so from 190.1 to 201.5 is 201.5 - 190.1 = 11.4.

now, if we take 190.1 as the 100%, what is 11.4 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190.1&100\\ 11.4&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190.1}{11.4}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 190.1x=1140 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1140}{190.1}\implies x\approx 5.99684

Amanda is practicing her dives off the diving board. When she dives into the water, the path her body makes and where she resurf
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The number of feet she will travel back is 1 or 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we need to solve the quadratic equation

That will be as follows;

0 = x^2 -8x + 7

x^2-x-7x+ 7 = 0

x(x-1)-7(x-1) = 0

(x-1)(x-7) = 0

x = 1 or 7

The number of feet she will travel before coming back to the surface of the water is 1 or 7 feet

Solve the following proportion for the unknown variable: 15/d = 24/40
Pavel [41]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
d = 25

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To get the value of d, we will need to isolate the d on one side of the equation.

<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
</span>\frac{15}{d} =  \frac{24}{40}<span>

<u>First, we will do cross multiplication as follows:</u>
40*15 = 24*d
600 = 24d

<u>Then, we will isolate the d as follows:</u>
24d = 600
</span>\frac{24d}{24} =  \frac{600}{24}
<span>
d = 25

Hope this helps :)</span>

Please answer it in two minutes
Reil [10]

Answer:

61 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as the two figures are congruent, angle P corresponds to angle T, angle [cut off but it says 93 degrees] corresponds to angle U, angle N corresponds to angle V, and angle M corresponds to angle S.

Since we already have the value of T, we know the value of P. The measure of angle P is 61 degrees.

Hope this helps!
