Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Answer to Problem 7PT

The solution of the given equation is s=3

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Consider the equation s−17=7(s−5)

Calculation:

Solve the equation

  s−17=7(s−5)s−17=7s−35s−7s=−35+17−6s=−18s=186s=3

Verify the solution

  s−17=7(s−5)3−17=7(3−5)−14=21−35−14=−14        true

Hence, s=3 .
