Answer:
1. x= 9
2. x= −2
3. 51 inches
4. $213.11 each month
Explanation:
1. Simplify both sides of the equation.
x + 7 + 7x= 25 + 6x
Combine Like Terms
(x + 7x) + (7)=6x + 25
8x + 7= 6x + 25
8x + 7= 6x + 25
Subtract 6x from both sides.
8x + 7 − 6x= 6x + 25 − 6x
2x + 7= 25
Subtract 7 from both sides.
2x + 7 − 7= 25 − 7
2x= 18
Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2= 18/2
2. Subtract 5x from both sides.
x − 5x= 5x + 8 − 5x
−4x= 8
Divide both sides by -4.
−4x/−4= 8/−4
3. First find the perimeter of the trapezoid
4 + 3 + 4 + 8= 19
A square has all equal sides
8 * 4= 32
Add them together
19 + 32 = 51 inches
4. Subtract the amount she put for finance from the total
1598.66 - 320 = 1278.66
Then divide that amount by the 6 months
1278.66 divided by 6 = 213.11
$213.11 each month
