Start by distributing the 7 to both terms on the left hand side, and the 5 to both terms on the right hand side.
7(x - 2) = 5(x + 4)
7x - 14 = 5x + 20
Now, to solve for x, start by isolating the variable as much as you can.
7x - 5x = 20 + 14
2x = 34
x = 17
Answer:
1.25 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
1- false a positive is greater than a negative so clearly there could be positive answers to the inequality. 2-true since the numbers and sign flipped it would still be the same
On Monday he reads 2 pages, on Tuesday he reads 6 pages (triple of 2: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6), on Wednesday he reads 18 pages (triple of 6: 6 + 6+ 6 = 18), on Thursday he reads 54 pages (triple of 18: 18 + 18 + 18 = 54).
