Answer:

x = -87

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract 265 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 265 (-265) = 4 (-265)

3x = 4 - 265

3x = -261

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (-261)/3

x = -261/3

x = -87

x = -87 is your answer.

Answer:

If you're looking for the value of x, it's -87.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 265 from both sides

3x+265-265 = 4-265 = 3x = -261

2. Divide by 3 to get the variable by itself

3x/3 = -261/3. = -87

x = -87

Hope this helps

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,5) and (8,7)?

Hatshy [7]

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

$m=\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}$

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

The formula for the slope of two given lines given is 'rise over run'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Slope Formula:}}\\\\\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\rightarrow (x_1,y_1),(x_2,x_1) - \text{Two Points Given}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

We are given the points (3,5) and (8,7).

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Finding the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{7-5}{8-3}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{m=\frac{2}{5}}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

2(g+5)=-7-4g+g include instructions plz!

Elza [17]

First distribute the 2, then add 7 to that side, so you have 2g+17=-4g+g , subtract 2g and it should be easy to find from there lol

4. Anna, Beate and Cindy buy a bag of 30 biscuits together. They get 10 biscuits each. But Anna has paid 80 cents, Beate 50 cent

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Option E. 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>80:50:20 or 8:5:2. 8 ÷ 15 * 30 = 16 = 16 - 10 = 6. This is the solution.</u>

Option A. 30 + 10 = 40. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option B. 30 + 9 = 39. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option C. 30 + 8 = 38. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option D. 30 + 7 = 37. Incorrect. The solution is unequal to this.
Option E. 30 + 6 = 36. Correct. The solution equals this answer.

<u>Option E will be the answer.</u>

Divide a 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75
