First, you add like terms. In this case, the like terms are 6 and 3.
4x + 6 + 3 = 17
4x + 9 = 17
Then, subtract 9 on each side:
4x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9
4x = 8
Then divide by 4 on each side to get the x by itself:
4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2
There are 16 cups in a gallon. 6 pints in a quart. 4 quarts in a gallon.
Answer:
The three numbers are 7 8 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Let the first number be n - 1
- Let the second number be n
- Let the third number = n + 1
Equation
(n - 1)(n)(n + 1) - (n-1 + n + n+1) = 480
Solution
Multiply (n - 1) and (n + 1) = (n - 1)*(n + 1) = n^2 - 1
Multiply the second integer by the result of the first and third: n (n^2 - 1)
Add the three integers together: (x - 1) + (n - 1) + n = 3n Combine these 2 steps
n(n^2 - 1) - 3n = 480 Remove the brackets
n^3 - n - 3n = 480
n^3 - 4n = 480
n^3 - 4n - 480 = 0
Graph
The graph shows that the intercept point is n =8. This is the only way I can see to solve this cubic. There are no other real roots.
Answer
n - 1 = 7
n = 8
n + 1 = 9
Check
Product 7*8*9 = 504
Sum = 7 + 8 + 9 = 24
504 - 24 = 480 Which checks.

Answer:
C.y = 3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points, so we can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (7--2)/ (1--2)
= (7+2)/(1+2)
= 9/3
=3
The slope is 3
We can find the point slope form of the line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-7 = 3(x-1)
Distribute
y-7 =3x-3
Add 7 to each side
y-7+7 = 3x-3+7
y = 3x+4
This is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)
