Solve the following equation for x. 3x - 9 = -42

Mathematics
1 answer:
r-ruslan [8.4K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

3 − 9 = −42

3 − 9 + 9 = −42 + 9

Simplify

Add the numbers

3 = −33

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3 = −33

3/3 = −33/3

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

= −11

A doctor gives a patient a 6060​% chance of surviving bypass surgery after a heart attack. if the patient survives the​ surgery,
DENIUS [597]
Let BS be the event that the patient survives bypass surgery. Let H be the event that the heart damage will heal. Then P(BS) = 0.60, and also we have a conditional probability: GIVEN that the patient survives, the probability that the heart damage will heal is 0.5, that is P(H|BS) = 0.5 We want to know P(BS and H). Using the formula of the conditional probability: P(H and BS) = P(H|BS)·P(BS) = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3

Given the system of equations, what is the x-coordinate of the solution?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Answer: Choice C) -11

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x. 
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)

Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11
