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

How many different 7-digit number plates can be made if the first 2 digits are letters and the last 5 digits are numbers, for ex
saw5 [17]

Answer:

We can use seven letters and numbers.

I am assuming that any numeral in the range 0..9 or any letter from the English alphabet A..Z can appear in any position, with no blank spaces allowed and no restrictions on repetition. I am also assuming that plates with fewer than seven letters and numbers are not allowed.

So, for example A879BX8 is acceptable, so are 5555555 and ABCDEFG, but not A.123.ZX or…..7A, where the dot represents a space.

I am also assuming that you can only use upper case letters.

With these restrictions, there are 36 possibilities for each space and the total number of valid number plates would be 36^7 = 78,364,164,096, let's say about 78 billion.

It is estimated that there are about 1.3 billion cars, trucks and buses in the road today. This number plate system therefore allows more than enough unique license plates. I'd even hazard a guess that it might be more than enough for every road vehicle that has ever been built or ever will be.

In practice there would be other restrictions, for example only letters in some positions and only numbers in others. There'd still be plenty to go around.

Jenny, a 31- year-old female, bought a $135,000, 20-year life insurance policy through her employer. Jenny is paid semi-monthly.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
 <span>C.$32.85
Jenny pays 5.84 per 1000 of coverage. 135000/1000 = 135.
135*5.84 = 788.40 total annual premium.
semi-monthly is 24 payments for a year (12*2).
788.40/24 = 32.85</span>

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you simplify (a - b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) you end up a^3 - b^3, instead of a^3 + b^3. The rest all work out.
