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.

The table gives the average age of airplanes per airline at Camila’s local airport. By what percent is the number of airlines wi
VladimirAG [237]

The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:

B. 20%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:

P = \frac{2}{15} \times 100\% = 13.33\%

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:

P = \frac{5}{15} \times 100\% = 33.33\%

The difference is:

33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.

Hence option B is correct.

BC = 36; D = 15. What is the value of BD - AC.<br> B<br> A<br> BD - AC =
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

BD - AC = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

BC = 36 , CD = 15 and BD = x

As these are forming right angled triangle,

Using Pythagorean theorem,

(BD)^2+(CD)^2=x^2\\(36)^2+(15)^2 = x^2\\1296 + 225 = x^2\\1521 = x^2\\

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{1521}\\x=39

As the given shape is rectangular, the sides parallel to each other will have same values.

AB = 15 , AD = 36 and AC = x

(15)^2+(36)^2 = x^2 \\225 + 1296 = x^2 \\1521 = x^2 \\x = 39

Now,

BD - AC = 39 - 39 = 0

Hence,

BD - AC = 0
