Answer:

A: x = -4

B: a = -7 (I'm assuming the '-' in front of 49 was supposed to be an '=')

Step-by-step explanation:

A: You need to group the like terms together, and isolate the variable, which in this case is x.

Take the 7 over to the other side, so the equation looks a little bit like this.

3-7 = x.

3-7 is -4, so we've gotten our answer.

x = -4.

B: -7a = 49.

When two negative numbers are multiplied together, the product becomes positive.

49 is 7x7.

-7 times -7 would be 49.

So, in this situation, a would be -7.

a = -7.

Hello!

The sum of all angle measures in a heptagon in 900°. We will subtract all of these angles from 900 to find our answer.

900-146-122-142-140-110-142=98

x=98°

I hope this helps!

Magdalena Figueroa's covered medical care bills for a recent illness were $8,440.00. Her major medical policy had a coinsurance

devlian [24]

Medical bill = $8,440
Deductible = $400
Coinsurance plan = Medical policy 80% of all expenses above $400

Amount to pay = 400+ (8440-400)*20/100 = 400+1608 = $2,008

-8x^2+4x+5=0 using quadratic formula

daser333 [38]

So you want to solve for x?

It would be nice if this would easily factor:
(-4x + 5)(2x +1) = 0    This will not work!

So you need to use the quadratic formula:
a = -8, b = 4, c = 5

$x = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

x = (-4 +/- $\sqrt{16-4(-8)(5)}$ )/2(-8)
   = (-4 +/- $\sqrt{16 + 160}$ )/-16
   = (-4 + $\sqrt{176}$ )/-16
   = 1/4 - $\sqrt{11}$ /4
