The answer is x = 12/7

because you multiply 15 by x to get 15x
15x = 4(2x+3)
next you simplify the right side by using the distributive property by doing 15x = 4(2x) + 4(3)
Then you multiply 2 by 4 to get 8
15x = 8x + 4(3)
and multiply 4 by 3 to get 12
15x = 8x + 12
Now you move terms containing (x) to the left side of the equation.
Since 8x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting 8x from both sides.
15x - 8x = 12
subtract 8x from 15x to get 7x
7x = 12
Also , divide each term by 7 and simplify
Divide each term in 7x = 12 by 7
7x/7 = 12/7
Lastly , reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors by
crossing out all 7s 7x/7 and leave 12/7 as it is, and divide x by 1 to get x by
x = 12/7
So the answer is x = 12/7

Which of the following inequality should be graphed with a dashed line? Select all that apply.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

B, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Any inequality that does not include the "or equal to" case will be graphed with a dashed line.

<h3>Application</h3>

The "or equal to" case is included when the inequality symbol is one of ≤ or ≥. When symbols > or < are used, the boundary line of the solution space is dashed (or the end point on the number line is an open circle).

The inequalities that will be graphed with a dashed line are ...
