Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. cross multiply to get

5(4x+2)= 35(x-1)

2. distribute

20x+10=35x-35

3. combine like terms

45=15x

4. divide :)

3=x

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)/5 = (4x + 2)/35

to find the value of x

the first thing to do is to cross multiply

from this ,

(x-1)/5 = (4x + 2)/ 35

35(x-1) = 5( 4x + 2)

35x - 35 = 20x + 10

we are going to collect the like terms

35x -20x = 10 + 35

15x = 45

we are going to divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 15

we have,

15x/15 = 45/15

x = 3

therefore the value of x = 3

to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and slot it into one of the equations.

35x - 35 = 20x + 10

35(3) - 35 = 20(3) + 10

105 - 35 = 60 + 10

70 = 70........................ proved.

Answer:

The integers could be 21 and 22

or -22 and -21

Step-by-step explanation:

If two integers are consecutive, then it means that their difference is just 1

if we have the initial value as x , then the other value could be x-1 or x + 1

let us go with x-1

So the product here is;

x(x-1) = 462

x^2-x = 462

x^2 -x -462 = 0

x^2 -22x + 21x - 462 = 0

x(x-22) + 21(x-22) = 0

(x + 21)(x-22) = 0

x = -21 or x = 22

If x = -21

x -1 = -21-1 = -22

if x = 22

x -1 = 22-1 = 21

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

let X represent the smaller paintings and Y represent the larger paintings

since she bought 8 paintings

X+Y=8

She bought all the eight paintings for $230 and X is worth 25 while Y is worth 40

25×X+40×Y=230

25X+40Y=230

Y = 230x + 100<br> Is this proportional or non proportional?
Svet_ta [14]
<h3>Answer:  Non proportional</h3>

Proportional equations are of the form y = kx, for some fixed constant k. The k value is the constant of proportionality.

The +100 at the end is why we don't have a proportional equation.

Visually all proportional equations go through the origin, meaning the lines have y intercept of 0. For y = 230x+100, the y intercept is 100.

The root x = 1 has multiplicity 3 for the function f(x)=x^3-x^2-x+1. True or false
Ostrovityanka [42]
X^3 - x^2 - x + 1 = 0
Plug in x = 1:-
1 -1 - 1 + 1 = 2 - 2 = 0  so x =1 is a root.

If it has multiplicity 3 then  the function will factor to (x - 1)^3:-

(x - 1)^3 = (x - 1)(x^2 - 2x + 1) =  x^3 - 2x^2  + x - x^2 + 2x - 1 
             
 =  x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1  so it is FALSE
