Answer:

x = -4/3 or -1.3333333....... (infinite)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-4=(12x+4)

6x-4+4=12x+4+4

6x = 12x + 4 + 4

6 = 12x + 8

6x - 12x = 12x + 8 - 12x

-6 = 12x + 8 - 12x

-6x = 8

-6x/6 = 8/-6

x = 8/-6

x = -4/3

Answer:

\sf x = -\dfrac{4}{3}

Explanation:

<u>Given Expression</u>:

  • 2(3x-2) = (12x+4)

<u>Remove Parenthesis</u>:

  • 2(3x) - 2(2) = 12x + 4

<u>Multiply Integers</u>:

  • 6x - 4 = 12x + 4

<u>Exchange Sides</u>:

  • 12x - 6x = -4 - 4

<u>Simplify</u>:

  • 6x = -8

<u>Divide Both Sides by 6</u>:

  • x = -8/6 = -4/3

Answer:

1) Equation's:

  • y = 500 + 15x
  • y = 350 + 18x

2) Number of guest and the charge:

  • Cost is same for both at 50 meals. The cost is $1250.

<u>Part 1</u>

Turn sentences into equation's (Let 'y' be total cost and x per meal) :

(i) charges $500 and $15 per meal

  • y = 500 + 15x

(ii) charges $350 and $18 per meal

  • y = 350 + 18x

<u>Part 2</u>

            y  =  y

500 + 15x = 350 + 18x

18x - 15x = 500 - 350

3x = 150

x = 150/3

x = 50

Charge at guest's 50 meal:

y = 500 + 15(50)

y = $1250

Point : (50, 1250)

hours each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function models the number of cars that are put through a quality control test each hour at a car production factory.

The given function is

We need to find the number of hours does the quality control facility operate each day.

Rewrite the given function it factored form.

Taking out the common factors from each parenthesis.

The factored form of given function is c(t)=-(t-10)(t+2).

Equate the function equal to 0 to find the x-intercept.

Number of hours cannot be negative. So from t=0 to t=10 quality control facility operate the cars.

Therefore the quality control facility operates for 10 hours each day.
