Please explain each step 5x-7=7x-17

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x -7 = 7x -5x - 17
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

10  = 2x
2       2    we get that x = 5
Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
18      =       18

A and B share the cost in a ratio of 3:2. A pays £125 how much does b pay?

Answers

To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

4⁄8 + ¼ = ? What is the correct answer to this problem? a. 1 b. ⅝ c. ¾ d. 2⁄8

Answers

Answer:

c. ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

By adding fractions, you must follow the following steps:

1. Make sure the numbers of the denominators are equal.

2. Add the numerators and put this number over the denominator.

3. Simplify.

Since the number of the denominators are different. We must multiply and divide one fraction for a number such that the denominators stand equal. For instance, we can multiply and divide fraction 1/4 by number 2 as follows:

(1)/(4)=(1 * 2)/(4 * 2)= (2)/(8)

So the expression can be written as follows:

(4)/(8)+(2)/(8)=(6)/(8) \n \n But \ (6)/(8) \ can \ be \ written \ as: \n \n (3 * 2)/(4 * 2) = \boxed{(3)/(4)}

Jermaine buys T-shirts for $6 each and marks up the price by 45%. How much profit does Jermaine make for each T-shirt sold?

Answers

Answer:

$2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = $6

Mark up percentage = 45%

Mark up amount = 45% × $6

                           = 0.45 × $6

                           = $2.70

Selling price = Mark up + cost price

                     = $2.70 + $6

                     = $8.70

Jermaine sells the shirts for $8.70 and makes a profit of $2.70.

Answer:

$2.70

a=-2
b= either negative or positive 4 (you didn't include a plus or minus sign in your question)
c=-3
It should be the last answer choice.
