I did some math and i got this

x = -2

Hello.

In order to solve the equation, we need to isolate x.

First, subtract 1 from both sides:

\mathrm{7x+1-1=8x+3-1}

\mathrm{7x=8x+2}

Now, subtract 8x from both sides:

\mathrm{7x-8x=8x-8x+2}

\mathrm{7x-8x=2}

\mathrm{-x=2}

Now, the minus sign is the same as -1.

In order to isolate x, we need to multiply both sides by -1:

\mathrm{x=-2}

Therefore, the answer is

\mathrm{x=-2}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.

The University of Southern California is located about 2.5 miles west and about 2.8 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Suppose
Jlenok [28]
If x represents distance measured east of downtown, and y represents distance measured north of downtown, the circle of radius 40 centered at (-2.5, -2.8) will have an equation of the form
  (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r. The locus of points 4 miles from USC will satisfy the equation
  (x +2.5)² + (y + 2.8)² = 1600

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The answer is 118.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the meal cost from average unit cost for each meal:

7-5.75=1.25

A restaurant profits 1.25$ for each meal. If we divide fixed cost to profit for each meal:

147.5/1.25=118

The restaurant have to sell 118 meals at least each day for the owner to break even

No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95

<h3>How to form a linear equation</h3>

Let the time taken to play basketball be "x"

Let the time taken to play volleyball be "y"

According to the information given, Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day, then;

x + y = 95

If he plays basketball for 25 minutes long, then;

x = 25

The pair of linear equations that represents the statement are:

x  + y = 95
x = 25

The time it takes Eric to play volleyball every day is expressed as:

y = 95 - x

y = 95 - 25

y = 70 minutes

No, it is not possible for Eric to have spent 35 minutes playing basketball if he plays for a total of exactly 95
