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.

I don’t get this work I can’t solve it

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7+1+ -1 * -6

Using PEMDAS, we multiply and divide first

-1*-6 = 6

Then we add and subtract from left to right

-7+1+ 6

-6+6 =0

16/8 would be classified as a/an? A:whole number B:integer C:Rational Number

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.
