5 subtracted from 3 times a number x gives 7.​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times a number x: 3*x = 3x

5 subtracted from  3x = 3x - 5

Equation: 3x - 5 = 7

Solution:

    Add 5 to both sides

3x - 5 + 5 = 7 + 5

         3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3

        3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -2) and has a<br> slope of 1/6
Levart [38]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Step 1: Determine <u><em>b</em></u> by using the point (-6,-2), the given slope, and the slope intercept formula, y = mx + b.

y = mx + b\\\\-2 = \frac{1}{6}(-6) + b\\\\-2 = -1 + b\\\\-1 = b

Step 2: Now that we have <u><em>b</em></u>, we can determine the equation of the line.

y = \frac{1}{6}x -1

I didn't use <em>+ (-1)</em> because <em>b</em> is negative. Therefore you need to change the equation from <em>y = 1/6x + (-1)</em> to <em>y = 1/6x - 1</em>.

Angle sum of a triangle = 180°

Therefore:

Equation No. 1 -
2 ( 2x - 4 ) + 5y = 180°
2 ( 2x - 4 ) + 5 [ ( 2x - 4 ) / 5 ] = 180
4x - 8 + [ 5 ( 2x - 4 ) / 5 ] = 180
4x - 8 + 2x - 4 = 180
4x + 2x = 180 + 8 + 4
6x = 192
x = 192 / 6
x = 32°

Equation No. 2 -
5y = 2x - 4
y = ( 2x - 4 ) / 5

ANSWER:
x = 32°

Solve the equation showing each inverse operation step:
valina [46]

Answer:

4 2/7 - 6/7 = 24/

7

= 3 3/

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 4 2/

7

to a improper fraction: 4 2/7 = 4 2/

7

= 4 · 7 + 2/

7

= 28 + 2/

7

= 30/

7

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 7. Whole number 4 equally 4 * 7/

7

= 28/

7

b) Add the answer from previous step 28 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 28 + 2 = 30

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 30) over the denominator 7.

Four and two sevenths is thirty sevenths

Subtract: 30/

7

- 6/

7

= 30 - 6/

7

= 24/

7

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(7, 7) = 7. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 7 × 7 = 49. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - thirty sevenths minus six sevenths = twenty-four sevenths.
