Answer:
3 + 4 = 7 which is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you have an equation with a plain variable (that is, no exponent included), there is only one number that will work when substituted for x.
To solve it, you have to "undo" what is done to the variable. You also go in the reverse order of operations, so you do the addition/subtract first, then multiplication/division.
You also have to do the same to both sides, kind of like keeping a balance scale in balance.
In this case, we subtract 4 from both sides first:
3x + 4 -4 = 7 - 4
The + 4 - 4 cancel each other out, so you get:
3x = 3
3x means "3 times x" so you divide by 3 to undo it. I will use the / to indicate division:
3x / 3 = 3 /3
so 1x = 1.
Since 1x is "1 times x" it is the same as x by itself, so:
x=1
AND, if we substitute 1 back into the original equation (the asterisk stands for multiply):
3 * 1 + 4 = 7
3 * 1 is 3, so:
3 + 4 = 7 which is true.
1 is the only number that works.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
Factor: Something which is multiplied by something else. A factor can be a number, variable, term, or a longer expression. For example, the expression 7x(y+3) has three factors: 7 , x , and (y+3) .
Answer:
- Tadeo: 12 hours
- Dylan: 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let d represent the number of hours that Dylan volunteered. Then Tadeo volunteered for 6d hours, and their total hours were ...
d +6d = 14
7d = 14 . . . . . . collect terms
d = 2 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d
6d = 6(2) = 12
Tadeo volunteered 12 hours; Dylan volunteered 2 hours.
Answer: 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
