5(x - 8) - 7 = 40
B)
5(8 - x) - 7 = 40
C)
7(x - 8) - 5 = 40
D)
7(8 - x) - 5 = 40
Answer : D 7(8-x)-5 = 40
The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five
Let the unknown number be x
eight minus a number means 8 -x
For product we multiply
The product of eight minus a number and seven
It means the product of 8-x and 7
So expression becomes 7(8-x)
The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five
To decrease by 5 we subtract 5
7 (8-x) -5 and this equals 40
So equation becomes 7(8-x)-5 = 40
Answer: Rounak has 100 pens now.
3x _ 2y = 8
Answers:
x = 4, y = 2
x = 4, y = _2
x = _2, y = 4
x = 2, y = 4
Answer:
Option A is correct.
x =4 , y = 2
Explanation:
Given the system of equation:
......[1]
.....[2]
Multiply equation [2] by 3 both sides we get;
Using distributive property:
.....[3]
Add equation [1] and [3], to get eliminate y we get;
Combine like terms we have;
Divide both sides by 11 we get;
Substitute the value of x =4 in [1] we get;
2(4) + 6y = 20
8 + 6y = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides we have;
6y = 12
Divide both sides by 6 we have;
y = 2
Therefore, the values of x and y are; 4 and 2.
