Answer:

x =5

step-by-step explanation:

combine the like terms:

2 -7x -3x = -8x -8

= 2 -10x = -8x -8

= -10x +2 = -8x -8

= -10x +2 -2 = -8x -8 -2

= -10x = -8x -10

= -10x +8x = -8x -10 +8x

= -2x = -10

= -2x/-2 = -10/-2

simplify

x = 5

The school cafeteria seats 250 students. 203 students are already seated. Write and sole an inequality that represents the addit

Nitella [24]

Answer:

An equation that represents the given situation is $203+x=250$ and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students already seated in school cafeteria = 203

Let x be the additional number of students that can be seated

So, Total number of seats available in school cafeteria = 203+x

We are given that the school cafeteria seats 250 students

So, 203+x=250

$\Rightarrow x=250-203$

$\Rightarrow x=47$

Hence an equation that represents the given situation is $203+x=250$ and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47

How to find the hypotenuse of a triangle?

ExtremeBDS [4]

To find the hypotenuse of the triangle
you use the length of the legs
Plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem

so $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

$a^{2}$ is one of the legs

and

$b^{2}$ is the other leg

then

$c^{2}$ is the hypothenuse
