Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5x + 3 - 2x = 12 + 7x - 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                                                                                        3x + 3 = 7x + 10
  2. [SPE] Subtract 3x on both sides:                                                                    3 = 4x + 10
  3. [SPE] Subtract 10 on both sides:                                                                      -7 = 4x
  4. [DPE] Divide 4 on both sides:                                                                         -7/4 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                                                                                           x = -7/4

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     5(-7/4) + 3 - 2(-7/4) = 12 + 7(-7/4) - 2
  2. Multiply:                                -35/4 + 3 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  3. Add:                                      -23/4 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  4. Add:                                      -9/4 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  5. Subtract:                               -9/4 = -1/4 - 2
  6. Subtract:                               -9/4 = -9/4

Here we see that -9/4 does indeed equal -9/4.

∴ x = -7/4 is the solution to the equation.

There are three grades in the school. One grade has 1/3 of the students, one grade has 1/4 of the students. What fraction of stu
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of stdents that has all grades in the school.

There are three grades in the school. One grade has 1/3 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs tho this grade is 1/3 × x = x/3

One grade has 1/4 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs to this grade is 1/4 × x = x/4

Total number of students in both grades would be x/3 +/x/4 = 7x/12

The number of students in the remaining grade would be

x - 7x/12 = 5x/12

fraction of students in the remaining grade would be

(5x/12)/x = 5/12

Which of the following stanements shows the inverse property of addition?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0  the  statement shows the inverse property of addition as the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that Inverse Property of Addition states if you add any number to its opposite, the result will be zero.

For example, 13 + (-13) = 0 shows that -13 is the additive inverse of 13.

In other words, the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.

Now checking from the available options,

0y+\left(-0y\right)

\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a

=0\cdot \:y-0\cdot \:y

\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:0\cdot \:y-0\cdot \:y=0

=0

Thus,

0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0

Therefore, 0\cdot \:y+\left(-0\cdot \:y\right)=0  the  statement shows the inverse property of addition as the sum of a number and its inverse is zero.
