Write an equation whose solution is -7.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required answer is 7x=-14.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Determine the format of the equation

A variable with a coefficient 7 should be equal to double of 7 which is negative because the derived answer should be a negative number.

02

Step 2. Form the equation 

By using the obtained design of equation form the equation.

7x=-14
03

Step 3. Make the conclusion

Divide by 7 on both sides of the equation to determine the solution of the equation.

7x7=−147x=−7

As the solution of the formed equation is according to the provided solution then the equation7x=−14 is the required equation.

MEDICINE

Suppose a patient must take a blood pressure medication that is dispensed in 125-milligram tablets. The dosage is 15 milligrams per kilo gram of body weight and is given every 8 hours. If the patient weighs 25 kilograms, how many tablets would be needed for a 30-day supply? Use the formula n=24d÷8b×15÷125, wheren is the number of tablets,d is the number of days the supply should last, andb is the body weight of the patient in kilograms.

FIREWORKS

Suppose you are about a mile from a firework display. You count 5 seconds between seeing the light and hearing the sound of the firework display. You estimate the viewing angle is about 4°. Using the information at the left, estimate the width of the firework display.

Information at the left

To estimate the widthw in feet of a firework burst, use the formula w=20At. In this formula,A is the estimated viewing angle of the firework display andt is the time in seconds from the instant you see the light until you hear the sound.
