Answer:
5x + 2x.....combine like terms..... = 7x
5x + 2x....subbing in 1 7x - 1....subbing in 1
5(1) + 2(1) = 5 + 2 = 7 7(1) - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6
5x + 2x...subbing in 2 7x - 1...subbing in 2
5(2) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 7(2) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
5x + 2x...subbing in 3 7x - 1...subbing in 3
5(3) + 2(3) = 15 + 6 = 21 7(3) - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20
5x + 2x...subbing in 4 7x - 1....subbing in 4
5(4) + 2(4) = 20 + 8 = 28 7(4) - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27
5x + 2x...subbing in 5 7x - 1...subbing in 5
5(5) + 2(5) = 25 + 10 = 35 7(5) - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34
5x + 2x result values are 1 more then 7x - 1 result values
there are no values that will make the 2 expressions equal....
because 5x + 2x = 7x......and the other one is 7x - 1......so the 7x - 1 values will always be 1 number less...because ur subtracting one
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the graph for each side, member, of the equation and see where the curves cross, are equal. The x values of these points, are the solutions to the equation.
