Answer:
w = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Divide -2 from both sides:
(14)/-2 = (-2w)/-2
(14)/-2 = w
Note that when you are dividing:
- 1 negative & 1 positive sign will result in a negative answer
- 2 negative sign will result in a positive
- 2 positive sign will result in a positive
In this case:
(14)/-2 = -7
-7 is your answer for w.

5 3/5 is a mixed number but the improper fraction would be 18/5
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
2) -3x + 17 = -x - 3
4) 20 = 2x
1) -3x + 12 + 5 = -x -3
5) 10 = x
3) 17 = 2x - 3
<u>-3(x - 4) + 5 = -x - 3</u>
<u>-3x + 12 + 5 = -x - 3</u>
<u>-3x + 17 = -x -3</u>
<em>+3x +3x</em>
<u>17 = 2x - 3</u>
<em>+3 + 3</em>
<u>20 = 2x</u>
<u>10 = x</u>

For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.
The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.
_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.
