If x/2+ 7 = 4
, what is the value of 5x - 7?

-37

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first equation to equal 4 the x must equal -6.

because something plus 7 had to equal 4. and we know that -3 + 7 equals 4. Now, -6 ÷ 2 equals -3 and that gives us the right answer.

So now plug -6 into the new problem so now it is

5 × (-6) - 7 so according the PEMDAS, we do 5 × -6 first which is -30. and -30 - 7 equals -37!!

hope this helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
