Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for x

2x+14=-21-5

2x+14=-26

subtract 14 from both sides

2x+(14-14)=-14-26

2x=-14-26

2x=-40

divide both sides of 2x = -40 by 2

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{-40}{2}

2/2=1

x=\frac{-40}{2}

x= -20

How to write the function whose graph of the graph but it shifted to the left 4 units
N76 [4]

Answer:

I would say that it's y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you're shifting to the left you are decreasing.

If you were to move left on a graph you'd be going towards the negative side.

DUE IN 10 MINS HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

m = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find two clear points:

(1, -2) (0, 1)

Then, use the slope formula:

m = <u>y2 - y1</u>

      x2 - x1

m = <u>1 - (-2)</u>

       0 - 1

   = <u>3</u>  = -3

     -1

m = -3

This means that the rise-over-run is -3 over 1, or 3 over -1.

Which means three down and 1 to the right, or 3 up and 1 to the left.

Slope is the steepness of the line.

How many numbers between 100 and 999 are divisible by 4?
QveST [7]
Try this solution:
1. Note, that 100 is divisible by 4, and 999 is not divisible by it, only 996. This is an arithmetic sequence.
2. a1;a2;a3;a4;...a(n) the sequence, where a1=100; a2=104; a3=108; a4=112; ... etc., and a(n)=996. n=?
3. using a formula for n-term of the sequence: a(n)=a1+d(n-1), where a(n)=996; a1=100 and d=4 (according to the condition ' is divisible by 4'). Then 100+4(n-1)=996; ⇒ 4n=900; ⇒ n=225 (including 100).

answer: 225
