Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

  • 7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x
  • 2x-2=14  

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

  • 2x-2+2=14+2
  • 2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2=16/2
  • x=8

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • 7(8)-2=5(8)+14
  • 56-2=40+14
  • 54=54

Therefore, x = 8.

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2=5x+14

collect like terms (remember when taking a value across the equality sign name sure the sign of the value changes)

7x-5x=14+2

2x=16

divides both sides by the value of x

x=16/2

x=8

Kerrie uses the work shown below to determine 35% of 280.
lys-0071 [83]

For this case we must find 35% of 280.

Kerrie gets 10% and then 25%. So:

10% of 280:

280 ------------> 100%

x -----------------> 10%

Where "x" represents the amount given by 10% of 280.

x = \frac {10 * 280} {100}\\x = 28

Thus, 10% of 280 is 28.

Now, we find 25% of 280:

280 ------------> 100%

x -----------------> 25%

Where "x" represents the amount given by 25% of 280.

x = \frac {25 * 280} {100}\\x = 70

Thus, 25% of 280 is 70.

So we have that 35% of 280 is given by:

28 + 70 = 98

So, Kerrie's solution is correct.
