Answer:

<h2>x = -2 (verified by algebra) ✅</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the value of y, we can replace it with 5x + 7.

We now have: 3x + 5x + 7 = -9

We can now simplify by adding 3x and 5x to get 8x.

8x + 7 = -9

We can subtract 7

8x = -16

And now, we divide by 8

x = -2

We can check to make sure we are correct

3(-2) + 5 (-2) + 7 = -9

-6 + -10 + 7 = -9

-9 = -9 ✅

The ribbon was 3 1/4 inches wide and had an area of 19 1/2 square inches. What is the length of the ribbon? Please Help Will Giv

miv72 [106K]

Hello!

The formula for finding area is l × w

If the area is 19 ½ inches and it was 3 ¼ inches wide, then the length will be 19 ½ ÷ 3 ¼ (Area ÷ Width)

$19 \frac{1}{2} \div 3 \frac{1}{4}$

Change both to improper fraction

$19 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{39}{2}$

$3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$

$\frac{39}{2} \div \frac{13}{4}$

Keep 39/2
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 13/4 = 4/13

$\frac{39}{2} \times \frac{4}{13} = \frac{156}{26} = 6$

$\framebox {The length of the ribbon is 6 inches}$

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The fourth choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because since 90 miles is basically counted as your first day, you do the number of days, n, minus 1 and then multiply it by 5 to find the number of miles walked after the first day. Then you add it to 90.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

We say that f(x) has an absolute (or global) minimum at x=c if f(x)≥f(c) f ( x ) ≥ f ( c ) for every x in the domain we are working on. We say that f(x) has a relative (or local) minimum at x=c iff(x)≥f(c) f ( x ) ≥ f ( c ) for every x in some open interval around x=c .
