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.

Pls help me figure this out
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. \frac{27}{225}=\frac{b}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of black ribbons one would have subtract the amount of red ribbons from the total number of ribbons. Then one would have to express it as a proportion. Part over whole equals percent over 100. The number of black ribbons over total ribbons equals "b" over 100.

What’s the equation for this table? Use y=mx+b. HELP
Verdich [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can check this by plugging any of the values from the table into the equation. You can find the answer by finding the slope and then using that to find the y-intercept.

y2-y1/x2-x1  

16-14/2-1 = 2/1 = 2. So our slope equals 2.

If we set x = 0 to find our y-intercept, and we know that we have a slope of 2 we can subtract 2 from 14 to get the y-intercept.

14-2 = 12. --> (0, 12) which is true because we know that the slope is 2.

If the Volume of a box is 250 feet3 and the height is 5 feet and the length is 5
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the volume formula, V = lwh, to solve for w

Plug in the values we know:

V = lwh

250 = (5)(w)(5)

250 = 25w

10 = w

So, the width is 10 feet
