Andrew picks three words from a dictionary every week and lists them in his notebook. So far, he has listed 24 words. How many weeks has Andrew been doing this?

Answer 1

The equation 3x = 24 can be represented by the statement "The cost of a pair of shoes is three times the cost of a shirt. If the cost of the shirt is $24, how much does the pair of shoes cost?" This is because in the equation, x represents the cost of the shirt, and 3 times x (3x) represents the cost of the pair of shoes, which is equal to $24.

Answer 2

The temperature dropped by 12° in 5 hours. The temperature dropped the same amount every hour. Complete the equation that represents the amount of change, x , of temperature every hour and solve this equation.(1 point)
5x= blank

The temperature decreased by blank° every hour.
fill iin the blanks

Answer 3

The equation that represents the amount of change, x, of temperature every hour is:

5x = -12

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x. We divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = -12/5

So, the temperature decreased by -12/5 degrees every hour.

Answer 4

Which of the following equations has a solution of −7 ?(1 point)
Responses

5x+11=−24
5 x plus 11 equals negative 24

−x+3=−4
negative x plus 3 equals negative 4

4x−23=5
4 x minus 23 equals 5

−3x−8=−29

Answer 5

To determine which equation has a solution of -7, we need to substitute -7 for x in each equation and see which equation holds true.

Let's check each equation:

1) 5x + 11 = -24
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
5(-7) + 11 = -24
-35 + 11 = -24
-24 is not equal to -24, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

2) -x + 3 = -4
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-(-7) + 3 = -4
7 + 3 = -4
10 is not equal to -4, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

3) 4x - 23 = 5
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
4(-7) - 23 = 5
-28 - 23 = 5
-51 is not equal to 5, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

4) -3x - 8 = -29
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-3(-7) - 8 = -29
21 - 8 = -29
13 is not equal to -29, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

None of the given equations have a solution of -7.

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion. Let's check the equations again:

1) 5x + 11 = -24
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
5(-7) + 11 = -24
-35 + 11 = -24
-24 is not equal to -24, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

2) -x + 3 = -4
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-(-7) + 3 = -4
7 + 3 = -4
10 is not equal to -4, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

3) 4x - 23 = 5
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
4(-7) - 23 = 5
-28 - 23 = 5
-51 is not equal to 5, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

4) -3x - 8 = -29
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-3(-7) - 8 = -29
21 - 8 = -29
13 is not equal to -29, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

Upon checking again, it appears that none of the given equations has a solution of -7.

Answer 8

one of them has to

Answer 9

Apologies for the oversight. Let's go through the equations again:

1) 5x + 11 = -24
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
5(-7) + 11 = -24
-35 + 11 = -24
-24 is not equal to -24, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

2) -x + 3 = -4
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-(-7) + 3 = -4
7 + 3 = -4
10 is not equal to -4, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

3) 4x - 23 = 5
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
4(-7) - 23 = 5
-28 - 23 = 5
-51 is not equal to 5, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

4) -3x - 8 = -29
If we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-3(-7) - 8 = -29
21 - 8 = -29
13 is not equal to -29, so this equation does not have a solution of -7.

Upon checking again, it appears that none of the given equations has a solution of -7.

Answer 10

Which of the following equations has a solution different from the rest? (1 point)

−0.35x−0.52=1.93

Answer 11

To determine which equation has a solution different from the rest, we need to solve each equation and compare the solutions.

Let's solve each equation:

1) 12x - 3 = 12
Adding 3 to both sides:
12x = 15
Dividing by 12:
x = 15/12 = 1.25

2) (1/2)x - 3 = (1/2)
Adding 3 to both sides:
(1/2)x = (1/2) + 3
(1/2)x = (1/2) + (6/2)
(1/2)x = 7/2
Multiplying by 2 to clear the fraction:
x = 7/2 * 2
x = 7

3) -17x - 34 = 14
Adding 34 to both sides:
-17x = 48
Dividing by -17:
x = -48/17

4) 34x + 5 = -14
Subtracting 5 from both sides:
34x = -19
Dividing by 34:
x = -19/34 = -0.5588

Upon solving each equation, we find the solutions:
1) x = 1.25
2) x = 7
3) x = -48/17
4) x = -0.5588

The equation that has a solution different from the rest is the equation 2) (1/2)x - 3 = (1/2), which has a solution of x = 7.
