Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+1) = -2(x-1) - 4
3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4
3x + 3 = -2x - 2
Add the -2x to both sides
5x + 3 = -2
Subtract the 3 to both sides
5x = -5
Divide both sides by 5
x = -1
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(1) x(2/3) = y
(2) 27
(3) 8
(4) 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The first line of the table tells you how to fill in the second line. Use the x and y values from the third line to write (y/x) = (2/3). This gives you the equation ...
x(2/3) = y . . . . line (1)
For the remainder of the table, you can use the given value compared to the value in line 3 to see what the multiplier is for the other value.
(2): The multiplier is 18/2 = 9, so the missing x-value is 3×9 = 27.
(3): The multiplier is 12/3 = 4, so the missing y-value is 2×4 = 8.
(4): The multiplier is 6/2 = 3, so the missing x-value is 3×3 = 9.
The equation is:
I=100+12J+5T+7S+5H-8M
The given information is that I=197, J=5, T=5, H=3, and M=3, and we’re trying to solve for the amount of shorts (S) he sold.
We can plug in the variables into the equation:
(197)=100+12(5)+5(5)+7S+5(3)-8(3)
After simplification:
197=100+60+25+7S+15-24
We can add/subtract the constants:
197=100+60+25+7S+15-24
We will add/subtract the constants:
197=176+7S
We will subtract 176 from both sides of the equation to cancel it out and isolate 7S:
197-176=176-176+7S
21=7S
We will divide 7 from both sides of the equation to cancel it out and isolate S:
21/7=7S/7
3=S or S=3 with the symmetric property of Equality applied.
Therefore, he sold 3 pairs of shorts
