Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve:
Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.
Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get
-2x - 2.
<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>
Now combine like terms:
5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17
<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>
Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.
________________________________
Last, don't forget to check your work.
You can plug in 7 for x to get:
5(7 - 3) = 20
5 × 7 = 35
5 × -3 = -15
35 - 15 = 20
-2(7 + 1) = -16
-2 × 7 = -14
-2 × 1 = - 2
-14 -2 = -16
<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>
⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Answer:
Total length of the first swing=64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;
Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing
where;
Total length of all 4 swings=175 m
Length of first swing=x
Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x
Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing
Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x
Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing
Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x
replacing;
Total length of all 4 swings
175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x
2.734375 x=175
x=175/2.734375
x=64
Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
Answer:
102 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 65% and 71% are both 1 standard deviation from the mean (71%). According to the empirical rule, 68% of scores lie within 1 std. dev. of the mean.
68% of 150 students would be 0.68(150 students) = 102 students
1 pound = 16 oz
Her books weigh 9 pounds or (9)(16)= 144 oz
Math Textbook= 40 oz
Biology textbook= 3 pounds or (3)(16)= 48 oz
Total weight of books - math textbook - biology textbook = science textbook
144-40-48 = 56oz
science textbook = 56oz
