-7x-3x+2=-8x-8\\\\(-7x-3x)+2=-8x-8\\\\-10x+2=-8x-8\qquad|\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\-10x=-8x-10\qquad|\text{add 8x to both sides}\\\\-2x=-10\qquad|\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\boxed{x=5}

First, combine like terms

-7x - 3x = -10x

-10x + 2 = -8x - 8

Isolate the x. Add 8x to both sides, and subtract 2 from both sides

-10x (+8x) + 2 (-2) = -8x (+8x) - 8 (-2)

-10x + 8x = -8 - 2

Simplify. Combine like terms

-2x = -10

Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides

(-2x)/-2 = (-10)/-2

x = -10/-2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x

Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
By setting up a system of equations we can easily solve this problem. Let's denote Jane's working hours with x and Jack's working hours with y. Since they don't want to work more than 65 hours, the first equation is x+y=65. The second equation is 14x+7y=770. By solving this system of equation \left \{ {{x+y=65} \atop {14x+7y=770}} \right., we find that y=20 hours, which is Jack's maximum working hours.

How much carbon dioxide will you prevent from entering the atmosphere in one year, if you replace a 100-watt light bulb with a C
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

280000lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we shall be calculating the amount of carbon iv oxide prevented from entering the atmosphere.

Generally we know that 1kwh produces 1.37 lbs of Carbon iv oxide in the atmosphere

Now, using a 100 watt light bulb daily for 8 hours, for a year, the amount of Carbon iv oxide produced will be;

100 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 40040 lb

Using a 30 watt CFL for 8hrs/ day for a year, we have;

30 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 120012 lb

Now calculating the amount of CO2 prevented, we have 40040 - 120012 = 280028 lb = 280000 after rounding up

What is the probability that the card drawn is a diamond and a jack​
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

1/26=4/104

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of pulling a diamond if completely shuffled properly, is a 1/4. Because there are 4 suits. This is only if, there are no jokers.

And the probability of pulling a jack, is a 4/51. Because there are 4 jacks out of the 51 cards, but you already pulled out a diamond card, so you take 1 out.

Multiply them together, and you will get 4/104 = 1/26

There is a 1/26 chance of pulling out a diamond card, then a jack.
