What number does x stand for in this equation? -7x + 6=27

1 answer:

3 0

⓵ You need to solve the left side first in order to isolate the × and find it’s value :

-7× + 6 = 27
-6 -6
↓

-7× = 21
÷-7 ÷-7

↓

× = -3

If you find it too difficult to divide a number by a negative, just divide 21 by 7 and always remember that when dividing, when the signs are different the answer is negative. So knowing that you could just divide 21 by 7, which is 3, and add a negative sign in front!

I hope this helped, if there’s anything let me know! ☻

To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.

Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.

You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.
