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.

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games. At this rate how many passes dose he catch in 15 games?expine
stepan [7]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

I can see the answer is 40, but let's try to figure out how to do it.

I like to use the rule of 3. Let's put the number of passes on the left side and the number of games on the right side.

\frac{8}{x}=\frac{3}{15}

''x'' represents the number of passes in 15 games.

Solve for x;

x=\frac{15*8}{3}\\ x=\frac{120}{3}\\ x=40
