Five times a number is divided by 7 more than the number. If the result is 2, then what was the original number?

14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(5n)/(7+n) = 2

Multiply both sides by 7 + n:

(7 + n) x (5n)/(7 + n) = (7 + n) x 2

5n = 14 + 2n

3n = 14

Divide both sides by 3:

(3n)/3 = 14/3

n = 14/3

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation would be 5x+7=2.

so first you'll subtract from both sides so you'll do 2 from 7, whcih equals -5. then you'll divide 5 from each side. 5x÷5=x. -5÷5=-1. so the answer would be -1

the solution is 12x-6y

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
