-3x-5=16
what is x in the equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=−7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides.

−3x−5+5=16+5

−3x=21

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3=21/−3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

I can help.

To solve algebraic equations all you need to do is get rid of everything on the side of the x except the x.

Lets look at your problem.

-3x - 5 = 16

An important thing to note is we are going to get rid of things on the left side of the = by doing the opposite of what they're doing.

If it is addition we do subtraction

If it is division we do multiplication

and so on.

ALSO

Whatever we do on the left side of the = we must do the same thing to the number on the right.

Now, let us start trying to solve this.

You always want to start with the number that is alone without the variable / letter.

So :

-3x - 5 = 16

Since it is -5 lets add 5 to make it 0 and get rid of it.

-3x - 5 = 16

     +5  +5

(Remember to do it to the other side of the = too)

Now we have :

-3x = 21

Now we want to get rid of the 3 attached to the x. And since these two are multiplying we need to divide the -3 by itself to make it 1. Since one number divided by itself is 1.

So like this :

-3x = 21

/-3    /-3

NOTE : When you are dividing or multiplying negative numbers there is an important key to be aware of. Here is a short key to go off of :

- x - = +

- x + = -

So a negative times a negative will be a positive.

While a positive times a negative, the negative will over ride the positive and the answer will be negative.

Going back to the equation, here is what we do :

-3x / -3 = +x (Not negative)

And :

21 / -3 = -7 (Is negative)

So now our equation is :

x = -7

And this is our final answer.

I hope this helped.

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
2x + 5y = 32

Answers

Answer:

x = 16 -5/2y

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 32

2x = 32 -5y

/2 /2

x = 16 -5/2y

Answer:

y= 2x/5 + 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by 2x

5y = 2x + 32

divide both sides by 5

y = 2x/5 + 6.4

follow same step to solve for x except first divide by 5y instead of 2x

Find the value of X express each answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

x = 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

a = 9

b = x

c = 18

(9)² + x² = (18)²

81 + x² = 324                    subtract 81 from both sides

x² = 243                            take the square root of both sides

x = √243

x = 15.6

Answers

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we would have to subtract the larger number of dogs by the smaller number of dogs. Zaierr has 10 dogs, and Lamarr has 2 dogs. We would have to subtract the number 10 by the number 2 to get our answer.

10 subtracted by 2 is equal to the number 8.

The answer to our question is 8.

10-2 = 8

So Zaeirr has 8 more dogs

Raymond's bake shop sold 26 1/2 cupcakes on Saturday on Friday the bake shop sold 19 3/4 dozen cupcakes what is the approximate percent increase in cupcake sales from Friday to Saturday

Answers

Answer: 34.18%  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On Saturday, Number of cupcakes sold = [tex]26\dfrac12[/tex] dozens

= [tex]\dfrac{53}{2}[/tex] dozens

[tex]=\dfrac{53}{2}\times12[/tex]    [  1 dozen = 12 items]

[tex]=53\times6\\\\=318[/tex]

On Friday, Number of cupcakes sold = [tex]19\dfrac34[/tex] dozens

= [tex]\dfrac{79}{4}[/tex] dozens

[tex]=\dfrac{79}{4}\times12[/tex]    [  1 dozen = 12 items]

[tex]=79\times3\\\\=237[/tex]

Increase in cupcakes = 318-237=81

Percent increase in cupcakes sales from Friday to Saturday = [tex]\dfrac{81}{237}\times100[/tex]

= 34.18%   (approx)

The approximate percent increase in cupcake sales from Friday to Saturday = 34.18%

Suppose someone gives you 6 to 1 odds that you cannot roll two even numbers with the roll of two fair dice. This means you win 6 dollars if you succeed and lose 1 dollar if you fail. What is the expected value of this game to you. What can you expect if you play 200 times

Answers

Answer:

0.75 ;

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of rolling two even numbers :

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

P(even) = 3 / 6 = 1/2

From a roll of 2 dice :

P(even) * P(even) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

P(not even) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

X : ____ 6 _______ - 1

P(x) ____ 0.25 ____ 0.75

Expected value :

Σx*p(x) = (6*0.25) + (-1 * 0.75)

= 1.50 - 0.75

= 0.75

If 200 games are played :, n = 200

Expected value * n

0.75 * 200

= 150
