Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-4x - 1) = 49

-28x - 7 =49

-28x = 49 + 7 = 56

x = 56/(-28) = -2

Answer:

7 x - 4x = - 28x

7 x - 1 = - 7

-28x - 7 = 49

+7 both sides

-28x = 56

÷ - 28

x = 56/-28

x = - 2

I substitute to double check my answer:

- 4x

-4x-2 =8

7(8- 1)

7x 8 = 56

7 x - 1 = - 7

56-7= 49

Hope this helps!

Mark is taking pledges for bike-a-thon fundraiser. John pledged $2.00, plus $1.75 for each mile Mark bikes. Kiara pledged $5.25,
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The equation for the amount of dollars pledged in total is f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25, and the amount for just Kiara is f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount they pledge up front is a constant and therefore need to be added to the end of the equation. The amount per mile should be a variable amount. This gets multiplied by the M variable. So we start with the Kiara amount.

0.25 per mile = 0.25M

5.25 pledged = 5.25

Now put them together to get f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25

Do the same with Mark.

1.75 per mile = 1.75M

2.00 pledged = 2.00

Now put them together to get f(M) = 1.75M + 2.00

To get the final total, we add both equations together.

f(M) =  0.25M + 5.25 + 1.75M + 2.00

f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25

Moby sold half his toy car collection, and then bought 12 more cars the next day. He now has 48 toy cars. How many cars did he h
castortr0y [4]

Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

\frac{1}{2}x

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72
