Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to kind of write the picture into an equation so the first thing we see are 4 xs on the far left-hand side this is representing "4x" then we see 5 - blocks on the right which represents "-5" because we have 5 minuses then on the other side we see 7 + blocks which represent just "7". After we identify everything in the picture we can write an equation so 4x -5 = 7. Then we solve so we need to separate x on one side and all the other numbers to the other to do that we can move the -5 to the side the 7 is on and because of math when we move a number to another side of the equation we have to switch the sign it has so if it was -5 then on the other side it would be 5 then we add 7 to 5 which would equal 12. Then we are left with 4x = 12 and to keep x on its own side we need to divide 4 from the other side because it is  multiplying on the x side and again we need to switch the sign. then we are left with x=3. Hope this helps!

(8+64)^2= 5184 < answer

step-by-step explanation:

2^3 = 8

4^3= 64

(8+64)^2 = 5184

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
