Answer:

a) x = -1.5

b) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem a, you can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to gather all the like terms together:

7x + 5 = 3x - 1

-3x         -3x

4x + 5 = -1

Next, to get the coefficients on one side, you subtract 5 from both sides:

4x + 5 =  -1

    -5      -5

4x = -6

Now, you divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:

x = -6/4 = -1.5 --- > x = -1.5

For problem b, you start by subtracting 3x from both sides(kinda like problem a):

5x + 12 = 3x + 14

-3x          -3x

2x + 12 = 14

Next, you can subtract 12 from both sides, isolating the "x term".

2x + 12 = 14

       -12  -12

2x = 2

Lastly, you can divide by 2 to get x:

x = 1

1:

7x +5=3x-1\\7x+5-3x=-1\\7x-3x=-1-5\\4x= -1-5\\4x= -6\\x=-\frac{6}{4} (en donde ambos se divide entre 4)\\Respuesta / x=-\frac{3}{2}

2:

5x+12=3x + 14\\5x+12-3x=16\\5x-3x=16-12\\2x= 16-12\\2x= 4\\x=4/2\\( se divide entre 2)x= 2

How many solutions does the system have?<br> y=-2x -4 <br> y=3x + 3
baherus [9]

Answer:

x=−7/5and y=−6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Substitute−2x−4foryiny=3x+3:

y=3x+3

−2x−4=3x+3

−2x−4+−3x=3x+3+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

−5x−4=3

−5x−4+4=3+4(Add 4 to both sides)

−5x=7

−5x

−5

=

7

−5

(Divide both sides by -5)

x=−7/5

miss Akunina [59]
150g/12cakes
150/12 = 12.5
12.5g/cake
12.5x30 = 375

The price of an item selling at 150% of its $63 value is
Triss [41]
You just have to multiply the percentage by the amount:
(150/100)×$63 
1.5×$63= $94.50
If you aren't allowed a calculator, then just find half of $63 (the 0.5 of the fraction) and add it to $63 (the 1. of the fraction).
$63÷2= $31.5
$63+$31.5= $94.50
