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.

Complete the generic rectangle (PLEASE HELP)
navik [9.2K]

I believe the area of the blank rectangle, the biggest one, is 2800. The whole rectangle all together is 3225.

Explanation:

Since the length of one of the rectangles is 70, the rectangle with an area of 210 will have a side length of 3. This means the rectangle with an area of 15 has a side length of 5. <em>That</em> means the rectangle with an area of 200 has a side length of 40. Therefore, the blank rectangle has an area of 2800, as it's 2 side lengths are 70 and 40.

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.
