First step you should do is s<span>implify both sides of your equation:
</span>29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
<span>Combine Like Terms:
</span>(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
<span>Subtract 6x from both sides:
</span>-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
<span>Subtract 21 from both sides:
</span>-7x+21-21=-7-21
-7x=-28
<span>Divide both sides by -7:
</span>-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4

Answer:
252 bags of maize
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize
In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize
In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4
This means
3:4 = 2013: 2012.
Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x
3/4 = x/ 144
Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144
x = 3 × 144/ 4
× = 108
This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013
The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144
= 252 bags of maize.
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
pick any points, for example (6, -1) and (11, 0)
slope is m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -1-0 / 6-11 = -1 / -5 = 1/5
Substitute y = -x into the first equation:
-8x - 7(-x) = -5
-8x + 7x = -5
-x = -5
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into y = -x
y = -(5)
y = -5
Answer: x = 5, y = -5
Your answer would be -9 & -42.
Here's why ...
(-9)*(-42) A negative times a negative equals a positive (378).
Now, -9-42=-51 & you add these because you have two negatives.
Hope this makes sense & helps you ! (:
