What is the answer2x+3x-7=42​

Mathematics

Studentka2010 [4]2 years ago

Answer:

x = \frac{49}{5} or 9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same amount of the same variable.

(2x + 3x) - 7 = 42

5x - 7 = 42

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

~

First, add 7 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 7 (+ 7) = 42 (+ 7)

5x = 42 + 7

5x = 49

Next, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:

(5x)/5 = (49)/5

x = 49/5

x = 9.8

Answer:

\bold{\frac{49}{5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

\bold{2x+3x-7=42}

Add the x's:

\bold{5x-7=42}

Now, move 7 to the right:

\bold{5x=42+7}

\bold{5x=49}

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

\bold{\frac{49}{5} }

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!

Joey puts 25% of his allowance into savings each week. If last week he put 10$ in savings, what was his allowance last week?​
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is 1/4.

If 10 is 1/4 of the full amount, then you take 10 and multiply by 4 to get the full amount.

10 times 4 equals 40.
