keeping in mind that two dozen cookies is just 24 cookies, then

$\begin{array}{ccll} eggs&cookies\\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 24\\ x& 2 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{24}{2}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=12\implies 3=12x \\\\\\ \cfrac{3}{12}=x\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=x$

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

$(7x - 2) \degree = (6x + 18) \degree\\ ..(exterior \: alternate \: \angle s) \\ 7x - 2 = 6x + 18 \\ 7x - 6x = 18 + 2 \\ x = 20 \\ \\ (7x - 2) \degree + \angle \: 1 = 180 \degree \\..(straight \: line \: \angle s) \\ (7 \times 20 - 2) \degree+ \angle \: 1 = 180 \degree \\ 138 \degree+ \angle \: 1 = 180 \degree \\ \angle \: 1 = 180 \degree - 138 \degree \\ \angle \: 1 = 42\degree$

Which are the solutions to the equation 4x^2-7x=3+24

inysia [295]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(1/8) ( 7 + sqrt(481) )

(1/8) ( 7 - sqrt(481) )

Discussion:

The equation is equivalent to 4x^2 - 7x -27 = 0 (as 3 + 24 = 0), Using the quadratic formula:

x = ( - (-7) +\- sqrt ((-7)^2- 4*4*(-27)) )/ (2*4)

= (1/8) ( 7 +\- sqrt(49+ 432) ) =

= (1/8) ( 7 +\- sqrt(481))

How do you determine the intercepts from an equation or graph?

koban [17]

To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for 'y' and solve for 'x'. To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for 'y'. In this tutorial, you'll see how to find the x-intercept and the y-intercept for a given linear equation.
