You sure seem to be asking a lot of questions lately. I'd like to see that you've been trying with these problems at least because if you can't get that first one it's almost like you missed the whole lesson.
1. 20 = 4b + 7 + 5
Add the 7 and 5.
20 = 4b + 12
Subtract 12 from each side.
8 = 4b
Divide each side by 4.
2 = b
2. 7 = 6k - 7k
6k - 7k = -1k. (the k acts as a sort of unit)
7 = -1k
Divide each side by -1.
-7 = k
3. 3.23 - 2m = 3 - 2(5m - 2)
Distribute the ×-2 to each term inside the parentheses.
3.23 - 2m = 3 - 10m + 4
Add the 3 and 4.
3.23 - 2m = 7 - 10m
Add 10m to each side.
3.23 + 8m = 7
Subtract 3.23 from each side.
8m = 3.77
Divide by 8.
m = 0.47125
4. -88/45=1/3r+2/5r
To get rid of the fractions, let's multiply everything by 45.
-88 = 15 + 18r
Subtract 15 from each side.
-103 = 18r
Divide by 18.
-103/18 = r
As a mixed number, r = -5 and 13/18
As a decimal, r = -5.7222...
yes, it does not matter if the y is at the beginning or at the end. However, most teachers usually prefer to have the y at the beginning as it is easier to read.
What do we know about these angles? Immediately, you might notice that (4y-8)° and (16x-4)° share a line. The same is true of (16x-4)° and (14x+4)°. Any straight line forms what's called a <em>straight angle</em>, which measures 180°, so we know that, since they add up to form a straight angle, (14x+4)° and (16x-4)° must add up to 180°. We can use that fact to set up an equation to solve for x:
(14x+4)+(16x-4)=180
After you solve for x, you should look to solve for y. How can we figure out what y is? If you're familiar with the vertical angle theorem, you'll know that all vertical angles (angles that are directly across from each other diagonally) are equal. So we know that 14x+4=4y-8. You can use the value of x you solved for before to solve this one fairly easily, and then you'll have both values.
Answer: x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the inequality:
-4*(2*x - 7) < 10 - 2*x
We want to find the possible values for x.
first, we expand the left side.
-8x + 28 < 10 - 2x
now we want to have all the terms with x in one side and the terms without x in the other side.
-8x + 2x < 10 - 28
-6x < -18
now we divide both sides by -6, as we divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes:
x > 18/6 = 3
x > 3
This means that x must be larger than 3.
