Twice a number is decreased by 7, and this quantity is multiplied by 3. the result is 9 less than 10 times the number. What is the number?

(7-2x)3 =9-10x

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we let the number to be x.

twice a number=2x is decreased by 7 that is to say 7-2x, is multiplied by 3, we have (7-2x)3.

the result is 9 less than 10times the number which is =9-10x.

so bringing all these together we have;

(7-2x)3=9-10x.

what is the number?

solving, we have:

(7-2x)3=9-10x

21-6x=9-10x

21-9= -10x+6x

12= -4x

dividing both sides by -4 we have our number

x= -3.

for proof we can substitute x=-3 into the equation.

21-6(-3) =9-10(-3)

21+18=9+30

39=39

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
