Solve the following equation 4(x-3)+5=1

2 answers:

6 0

So first you multiply x and -3 by 4 to distribute, then you collect like terms so (-12+5=-7) , then you add seven to both sides and the -7+7 cancels out so you have 4x by itself, then you divide 4x/4 but it cancels out to and 8 by 4 to get x and you answer should be x=2. Hope this helped

4(x-3)+5=1
4x-12+5=1
4x-7=1
+7 +7
4x=8
4x/4 8/4

x=2

4(x - 3) + 5 = 1....distribute thru the parenthesis
4x - 12 + 5 = 1....simplify
4x - 7 = 1...add 7 to both sides
4x = 1 + 7...simplify
4x = 8...divide both sides by 4
x = 8/4
x = 2 <===

Shawna drove set 264 miles in 5.5 hours at that rate how far can she drive in seven hours

Sindrei [870]

To do this divide set miles (264) by hours (5.5) to give you 48. Then multiply you mph (48) by 7. So in seven hours, Shawna can drive 336 miles.

Find the perimeter of triangle ABC.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

By definition, the perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its sides.
We must then use the formula of distance between points:
$d = \sqrt{(x2-x1) ^ 2 + (y2-y1) ^ 2}$
We now look for the longitus for each of the sides:

For L1:
$L1 = \sqrt{(6-2)^2 + (6-2)^2}$
$L1 = \sqrt{32} 
$
$L1 = 4\sqrt{2}$

For L2:
$L2 = \sqrt{(7-2)^2 + (-3-2)^2}$
$L2 = \sqrt{50}$
$L2 = 5\sqrt{2}$

For L3:
$L3 = \sqrt{(7-6)^2 + (-3-6)^2}$
$L3 = \sqrt{82}$

Then, the perimeter is given by:
P = L1 + L2 + L3
Substituting values we have:
$P = 4\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{82} 

P = 9\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{82}$

Answer:
the perimeter of triangle ABC is:
none of the above.

Help!!! Just those two, please

Lunna [17]

A. Multiply the area of the original store by the percent increase then add that to the original amount.

1200 x 0.75 = 900

1200 + 900 = 2100

Answer: 2,100 square feet.

B. 2000 x 0.30 = 600

2000 + 600 = $2,600

2600 x 0.05 = 130

2600 + 130 = 2,730

Rent :$2,730
