Seven more than the product of a number and 5 equals 2 . use the variable c for the unknown number.

Equation: 5c + 7 = 2

Solution: The number is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown number is c.

"the product of a number and 5" is 5c

"Seven more than the product of a number and 5" is 5c + 7

"Seven more than the product of a number and 5 equals 2" is 5c + 7 = 2

The equation is

5c + 7 = 2

To solve, we first subtract 5 from both sides.

5c + 7 - 7 = 2 - 7

5c = -5

Now divide both sides by 5.

5c/5 = -5/5

c = -1

The number is -1.

-13

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x-5 for f(-4)

f(-4)   means let x=-4

f(-4) = 2(-4) -5

f(-4) =-8-5

      = -13

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
