Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Combine like terms to simplify the equation.

Combining like terms means to combine anything that has the same variable, degree, or no variable at all.

-3x and +6x are like terms, for example because they both have an x.

Add them together to get 3x.

2. Rewrite the equation as the simplified version of 3x-8=7.

3. Add 8 to both sides to cancel out 8 on the left side.

3x=15.

4. Divide by 3 to isolate x.

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-3x - 8 + 6x = 7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    3x - 8 = 7
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                   3x = 15
  3. Divide 3 on both sides:               x = 5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    -3(5) - 8 + 6(5) = 7
  2. Multiply:                        -15 - 8 + 30 = 7
  3. Subtract:                       -23 + 30 = 7
  4. Add:                               7 = 7

Here we see that 7 does indeed equal 7.

∴ x = 5 is a solution of the equation.

Answer:

-1/9, 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we represent this with an equation, we get 3 + |-9x| = 4.  Subtract 3 from both sides and we get |-9x| = 1.  There are two solutions to this, 1/9 and -1/9, since they both multiply to a number whose absolute value is 1.  (-9 * 1/9 = -1, 9 * 1/9 = 1.  -1 has an absolute value of 1.)

Write the equation of a line that passes through (-4,15) and (-7,10) in point slope form
Ivanshal [37]
(-4,15),(-7,10)
slope = (10 - 15) / (-7 - (-4) = -5 / (-7 + 4) = -5 / -3 = 5/3

there can be 2 answers to this...depending on the point u use...
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 5/3
using point (-4,15)...x1 = -4 and y1 = 15
now we sub
y - 15 = 5/3(x - (-4)..not done yet
y - 15 = 5/3(x + 4) <=== this is one answer

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 5/3
using point (-7,10)....x1 = -7 and y1 = 10
now we sub
y - 10 = 5/3(x - (-7)...not done yet
y - 10 = 5/3(x + 7) <=== and here is the other answer

A savings account accrues interest at a rate of 3.0% yearly. If someone opens an account with $2,500, how much money would the a
Dmitriy789 [7]
To answer the question above we first need to know how much is the interest per year. In equation, 3% of $2500 is 75. 75 per year in 4 years is 300. So add $300 to the principal amount, the money after 4 years would be $2800.
