Answer:

$x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7x+8=-13$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$7x+8-8=-13-8$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$7x=-21$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}7$

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{-21}{7}$

$x=-3$

Hope it helps

Peace

how do you find a percentage of a number. Provide an example. Well not a specific number put jow do i find it ?

ollegr [7]

To find a percentage, if I am ready your question correctly, would be as simple as dividing the number by 100. For example, finding the percentage of 73.

73/100 = .73%

You could also just move the decimal place over two spots to the left.

Point F is at (0, -10) and point H is at (-6, 5). Find the coordinates of point G on line segment FH such that the ratio of FG t

Tanya [424]

Answer:

G(x,y)=(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

$(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Given:

$F(x_1,y_1)=(0, -10)\\H(x_2,y_2)=(-6, 5)\\FG:GH=m:n=2:1$

We substitute the values to get:

$G(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2*-6+1*0}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*5+1*-10}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{10-10}{3}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{0}{3}\right)\\\\G(x,y)=(-4,0)$

Write the following number as ratios of integers

s2008m [1.1K]

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let $x=7.\overline{6}$ . We want to cut the $0.\overline{6}$ bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If $x=7.\overline{6}$ , then we can also say that $10x=76.\overline{6}$ . Maybe I was lying a bit: the $x$ is our real scalpel here, and $10x$ is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting $x$ off of $10x$ ) leaves us with:

$10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69$

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find $x = 69/9$ , which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us $x=23/3$
