Help me solve this equation 3x-7=4x

2 answers:

3x - 7 = 4x

We're basically just trying to take all of the variables & put it onto one side, and then move everything else to the other side :)

So, we must add 7 to both sides.

3x = 4x + 7

Then, we subtract 4x from both sides.

3x - 4x = 7

Simplify.

-x = 7

Divide both sides by -1.

x = -7

To check our work, we simply need to plug in -7 for x in our given equation :)

3x - 7 = 4x

3(-7) - 7 = 4(-7)

Simplify.

-21 - 7 = -28

-28 = -28

Therefore, x = -7

~Hope I helped!~

Hey!

Let's write it, $3x-7=4x$
Add $7$ to both sides,
$3x-7+7=4x+7$
$3x=4x+7$
Subtract $4x$ from both sides.
$3x-4x=4x+7-4x$
$-x=7$
Since we don't want a negative variable, we have to divide both sides by $-1$ .
$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}$
Our answer would be,
$x=-7$

Thanks!

With the beam being held still at a height of 40 m, the crane breaks and the beam falls to the ground. Assuming no air resistanc

lapo4ka [179]

What we have so far:
Kinetic energy = 0. The reason behind that is because the beam is not moving at a height of 40m.
Gavity, g = 9.8m/s²
Height = 40m
Potential energy = mgh; this is equal to 0 because m, stands for mass and in this problem, we do not have a value for the mass of the beam. Hence, 0 x 9.8m/s² x 40m = 0. Potential energy = 0.

Solution:
We will use the equation of Total energy:
TE = potential energy + kinetic energy

TE = 0 + 0

∴ TE = 0

The answer is: Assuming no air resistance, the total energy of the beam as it hits the ground is 0.

navik [9.2K]

Well if you add all the numbers together, the total is 14. So 4/14 chance of pulling out a red marble.

Which card has the solution x = 23?

morpeh [17]

I need a photo but ill give you some information this will be with exponents.

Write down the problem. Here it is:

2^2(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32

Resolve the exponent. Remember the order of operations: PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. You can't resolve the parentheses first because x is in the parentheses, so you should start with the exponent, 2^2.2^2 = 4

4(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32

Do the multiplication. Just distribute the 4 into (x +3). Here's how:

4x + 12 + 9 - 5 = 32

Do the addition and subtraction. Just add or subtract the remaining numbers. Here's how:

4x+21-5 = 32

4x+16 = 32

4x + 16 - 16 = 32 - 16

4x = 16

Isolate the variable. To do this, just divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find x. 4x/4 = x and 16/4 = 4, so x = 4.

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Check your work. Just plug x = 4 back into the original equation to make sure that it checks out. Here's how:

2^2(x+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32

2^2(4+3)+ 9 - 5 = 32

2^2(7) + 9 - 5 = 32

4(7) + 9 - 5 = 32

28 + 9 - 5 = 32

37 - 5 = 32

32 = 32
