2/3x - 2 = 7 solve the equation

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Isolate the x.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

2/3x - 2 = 7

Add 2 to both sides

2/3x - 2 (+2) = 7 (+2)

2/3x = 9

Multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

2/3x(3/2) = 9(3/2)

x = 9(3/2)

Multiply 9 with 3, and divide by 2

9 x 3 = 27
27/2 = 13.5

x = 13.5 is your answer

hope this helps

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP WITH MATH?The rectangle has an area of 4(x+3) square units.
A- If the dimensions of the rectangle are doubled, what is the area of the new rectangle in terms of x? Show your work.


B- Will the ratio of the area of the original rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle be the same for any positive value of x? Explain.

Answers

A)
If it has an area of 4(x+3) we can think that one side has a length of 4, and the other has a length of (x+3).

So, if the dimensions were doubled, 4 x 2 = 8. And 2(x+3) = 2x+6.

The new area would be:

8(2x+6) = 16x+48.

B) 
The ratio will be the same. For example lets plug in some points:

x=0
4(0+3) = 4(3) = 12

And 
16(0)+48 = 0+48 = 48

So the ratio is 48/12 = 4

Lets plug in another point.

x=2
4(2+3)= 4(5) = 20

And
x=2
16(2)+48 = 32 + 48 = 80

80/20 = 4

So the ratio is the same :)
A- a_(1) = length , b_(2)=width, A_(1)= Area;
a_(2)=na_(1) , b_(2)=nb_(1) ==> A_(2)=  2^(n) A_(1)
if we double the dimensions of the rectangle, the area will be fourfold:
A_(2) = 2^2[4(x+3)]=16x+48

B- yes, it will always be the same because:
(A_(2))/(A_(1)) =  (4(4(x+3)))/(4(x+3)) =4

two cars travel in opposite directions, starting from the same place at the same time. One travels at an average rate of 48 miles per hour and the other averaged at 55 miles per hour. in how many hours will the be 618 miles apart?

Answers

so in 1 hour they will be 48+55=103 miles apart
how many hours will it be in 618
103 times x hours=618
divide both sides by 103
x=618/103
x=6

the answer is 6 hours
