Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying 40 = 15 + -9x + -2
Reorder the terms: 40 = 15 + -2 + -9x
Combine like terms: 15 + -2 = 13 40 = 13 + -9x
Solving 40 = 13 + -9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '9x' to each side of the equation. 40 + 9x = 13 + -9x + 9x
Combine like terms: -9x + 9x = 0 40 + 9x = 13 + 0 40 + 9x = 13
Add '-40' to each side of the equation. 40 + -40 + 9x = 13 + -40
Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0 0 + 9x = 13 + -40 9x = 13 + -40
Combine like terms: 13 + -40 = -27 9x = -27
Divide each side by '9'. x = -3
Simplifying x = -3
The answer is 7.61, you could've found the answer for this if you used a calculator.
Answer:
3-2=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: divide it by the number of numbers you added up.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, let's say you had to find the average of 1, 2, and 3. You add all the numbers up to get 6. Since you had to add 3 numbers together (1, 2, 3) to get 6, you divide 6 by 3 to get the mean/average, which in this case, is 2
For example, if x/2=7, x would be equal to 7x2=14, bringing the whole number the variable is divided by to the other side of the equation.
