B I think if I’m wrong I sooooo sorry
Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5
0.029= 2.9 x 10 power of negative 2
7 because negitive 5 is less than 0 , but 7 is greater than both
Hi!
<h3>To divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
</h3><h3>First, convert the mixed numbers to fractions, by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding that to the numerator. </h3>
---------------
2 * 7 = 14
14 + 1 = 15
15/7
---------------
4 * 1 = 4
4 + 1 = 5
5/4
---------------

<h2>The answer is 1 5/7 </h2>
Hope this helps! :)
