Cross-multiply so that 8(3x + 1) = 14(2x)
Distribute the 8 and 14 into the parentheses:
24x + 8 = 28x
Subtract 24x from both sides:
8 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 2
You have to say what or where point B and C is for me to answer it
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.
-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.
-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.
-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.
+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.
-7.8x = -7
Simplified.
-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.
7.8x = 7
Simplified
(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.
x = 1.11428571429
The answer !
I hope this helped !
Answer:
12)
(9y +7)=(2y +98)( Because vertically opposite angle is always equal)
9y - 2y = 98-7
9y - 2y = 98-7
7y= 91
y =13
<em>ther</em><em>fore</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>3</em>
<em>(</em><em>9</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>)</em>
9*13+7
117+7
124
(2y +98)
2*13+98
26+98
124
15/9 = 1.6666... (where 6 repeats infinitely)
If we're rounding to 2 decimal places, 6 will round up to 7
Therefore, B. 1.67 is your answer
