and seven is equal to six times a number.
Word problems can be tricky no matter what level of math or science you are in.
First look at the question for words that indicate mathematical symbols.
"times" indicates multiplication
"and" indicates addition
"a number" means we have a variable, x, to solve for
Now we can go from left to right and write it in a mathematical equation
7x + 7 = 6x
Then, solve for x
7x + 7 = 6x
7 = 6x - 7x
7 = -1x
7/-1 = x
x = -7
Finally, we check our work.
7x + 7 = 6x
7(-7) + 7 = 6(-7)
-49 + 7 = -42
-42 = -42 √
The answer is x = -7

First thing you do in word problems : choose a variable for unknown, what problem is asked you to find.
n the number
7n 7 times the number
7n + 7 7 times the number and 7
Then the problem says it is equal 6n , make the equation
7n + 7 = 6n
and solve:
7n - 6n = -7
n = -7 / is the answer

Seven times a number and seven is equal to six times a number.
Step 1: Translate the verbal to Algebra.
7x + 7 = 6x. ("And" means addition if no other operation is present.)
Step 2: Solve for x.
7x - 6x + 7 = 6x - 6x. (subtract 6x from both sides)
1x + 7 = 0. (Simplify)
1x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7. (subtract 7 from both sides)
1x = -7. (Simplify)
1x/1 = -7/1. (Divide both sides by 1)
x = -7. (Simplify)
Step 3: Check 7 times the number -7 and 7 is equal to six times the number -7.
7(-7) + 7 = 6(-7)
-49 + 7 = -42
-42 = -42. (Both sides are equal!)
The number again is -7.

Hi Alyson;
7x+7=6x
Let's subtract 7x from both sides...
7x+7-7x=6x-7x
7=-x
Let's multiply both sides by -1...
(-1)(7)=(-1)(-x)
-7=x
Let's check our work...
7x+7=6x
[(7)(-7)]+7=(6)(-7)
-49+7=-42
-42=-42

9/5-(-6/10= reduced to the simplest form
Answer:
Since it is a double negative, you add the two together. First, you must find the LCD though. Which is 10. So you multiply the left side by 2. This comes out to 18/10 - (-6/10) but since there's two negatives, you add them, so it's 18/10 + 6/10 = 24/10 = 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 12/5 (top is explaining how I got there.)
Answer:
12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
9/5 - (-6/10)
Subtracting a negative is like adding

Simplify 6/10 by dividing the top and bottom by 2

Which expression represents the distance between 4.7 and -11.2 on the number line?
Drag and drop the correct expression into the box.
|4.7-11.2| |-11.2-4.7|
|4.7+(-11.2)|
|11.2-4.7|
Answer:
1st option
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance using the absolute value function, that is
distance = | 4.7 - (- 11.2) | = | 4.7 + 11.2 | = | 15.9 | = 15.9
or
distance = | - 11.2 - 4.7 | = | - 15.9 | = 15.9

Answer:
7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of ABED = 49
Side lengths are 7, its a square
Since AD = 7, and AG = 9, DG = 2
DE = 7 and 2 x 7 = 14
14 is the area of the small blue region.
AC = 10, and AB = 7, so BC = 3
CF = BE = 7
3 x 7 = 21
21 is the area of the big blue region.
21 + 14 = 35
Area of the whole shape is 9 * 10 = 90
35/90 = 7/18

Peyton needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 4 hours and charged her $77 for parts. The total was $497. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the cost of the labor per hour.
Answer:
105 per hour = x
Step-by-step explanation:
You subtract the parts cost of 77 from the total first.
497 - 77 = 420
Then you divide the 420 by 4 to get the unit rate per hour.
420/4
= 105

A circle is cut from a square piece of cloth, as shown: A square, one side labeled as 34 inches, has a circle inside it. The circle touches all the sides of the square. The portion of the square outside the circle is shaded. How many square inches of cloth are cut from the square? (π = 3.14)
Answer: 907.9 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The square has sides of 34 inches each. A circle drawn in the center and touching the edges would have a diamenter of 34 inches, and thus a radius of (34/2) = 17 inches. The area of a circle is pi*r^2. Area = 3.14*(17)^2.
Area of the circle = 907.9 in^2 That is the material cut from the square.

Answer:
$7.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 35.5 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=35.5$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=20$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=35.5(1)$.
$x\%=20(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

Answer:
x° = 43°x° = 51°x° = 86°Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
x + ( x + 8) + 2x = 180° [Since angle sum property of triangle]
=> x + x + 8 + 2x = 180
=> 4x + 8 = 180
=> 4x = 180 - 8
=> 4x = 172
[tex] = > x = \frac{172}{4} [/tex]
=> x = 43
As,
We got value of x as 43 so,
x° = 43°
x° = 43 + 8 = 51°
x° = 2 × 43 = 86°

Find H.C.F of 75100,125900& 270
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Only the third number is divisible by 3. So the HCF is 2 * 5 = 10
That's the most that is common between all three numbers.
The first two only have a HCF of 100. Nothing else goes into both of them.
