Answer:

x = 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - 3(x - 7) = 4(x - 7) - 2x ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x - 3x + 21 = 4x - 28 - 2x ← simplify both sides

- 2x + 21 = 2x - 28 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 4x + 21 = - 28 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

- 4x = - 49 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = $\frac{49}{4}$ = 12.25

Answer: x=12.25

Step-by-step explanation: First, multiply the numbers into the parentheses. You will get:

X -3x +21 = 4x -28 -2x

Combine like terms.

-2x +21 =2x -28

Isolate x by adding 2x to each side.

21 =4x -28

Add 28 to each side to get x by itself.

49=4x

Divide by 4.

X =12.25

A family is driving from Phoenix to San Francisco. On a map grid, Phoenix is located at (–12, –16), and San Francisco is located

makkiz [27]

The answer is 34.05

The total distance (D) is the sum of three distances (d1, d2, and d3).

The distance formula is $d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} +(y2-y1)^{2}}$

Distance 1: Phoenix (–12, –16) to Blythe (–20, –9):
 $d1 = \sqrt{(-20-(-12))^{2} +(-9-(-16))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-20+12)^{2} +(-9+16)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-8)^{2} +(7)^{2}}= \sqrt{64+49} = \sqrt{113}= 10.63$

Distance 2: Blythe (–20, –9) to Los Angeles (–33, –4):
$d2 = \sqrt{(-33-(-20))^{2} +(-4-(-9))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-33+20)^{2} +(-4+9)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-13)^{2} +(5)^{2}}= \sqrt{169+25} = \sqrt{194}= 13.93$

Distance 3: Los Angeles (–33, –4) to San Francisco (–36, 5)
 $d3 = \sqrt{(-36-(-33))^{2} +(5-(-4))^{2}} =\sqrt{(-36+33)^{2} +(5+4)^{2}} \\ =\sqrt{(-3)^{2} +(9)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+81} = \sqrt{90}= 9.49$

D = d1 + d2 + d3 = 10.63 + 13.93 + 9.49 = 34.05

Best Buy is displaying 15 laptops for a big store sale. The laptops include 6 identical Dells, 4 identical Chromebooks, and 5

Alchen [17]

Answer:

630,630 different arrangements are possible for the given laptops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of laptops = n = 15

Number of identical Dell laptops = 6

Number of identical Chromebooks = 4

Number of identical Mackbooks = 5

We have to find in how many ways can the laptops be arranged. Number of arrangement of objects is calculated using Permutations as the order of objects matter during the arrangement. The formula to calculate the number of possible arrangements when there are similar objects is given as:

$\frac{n!}{a!b!c!...}$
