X=his fortune
15/16X=7500
X=7500 x 16/15
X=8000
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-(1 + 7x) - 6(-7 - x) = 36
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: -1 - 7x + 42 + 6x = 36
- Combine like terms: -x + 41 = 36
- Subtract 41 on both sides: -x = -5
- Divide both sides: x = 5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-(1 + 7(5)) - 6(-7 - 5) = 36
-(1 + 35) - 6(-12) = 36
-(36) + 72 = 36
-36 + 72 = 36
36 = 36
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 13 both sides
That would give you 5v=80
Divide 80 by 5. So v would equal 16
