Answer:

x= -1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-7 + 12 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Combine like terms: -7 + 12 = 5

5 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Solving

5 + -2x = 23 + 13x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13x' to each side of the equation.

5 + -2x + -13x = 23 + 13x + -13x

Combine like terms: -2x + -13x = -15x

5 + -15x = 23 + 13x + -13x

Combine like terms: 13x + -13x = 0

5 + -15x = 23 + 0

5 + -15x = 23

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -15x = 23 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -15x = 23 + -5

-15x = 23 + -5

Combine like terms: 23 + -5 = 18

-15x = 18

Divide each side by '-15'.

x = -1.2

The graph shows the amount of dirt left to remove, y, with respect to number of loads of dirt, x. Use the graph to complete each

Tema [17]

Part 1. When x=0, then y=900 (from the graph). This means that y-intercept is at point (0,900).

Answer Part 1: 900

Part 2. The y-intercept is at point (0,900). This means that at x=0 (loads), the total amount of dirt to remove is 900 cubic feet.

Answer Part 2: the total amount of dirt to remove.

Including Jose, there are eight people in his family.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order matters, we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

In this question:

The first seat is Jose's.

The remaining four are organized among the other 7 members. So

$P_{(7,4)} = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = 840$

So the correct answer is:

840
