Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

14=7(2x-4)

14/7=2x-4

2=2x-4

2x=2+4

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

------------

14=7(2x-4)

14=14x-28

14x=14+28

14x=42

x=42/14

x=3

14=7(2x-4)\\2=2x-4\\2x=6\\x=3\\\\14=7(2x-4)\\14=14x-28\\14x=42\\x=3

I prefer the first method, because I don't do unnecessary multiplication and therefore operate on smaller numbers.

PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Tcecarenko [31]
The y- intercept has to be a point in the line where x is 0. Which means that in this case it would be -4.
To find the slope, use the formula: rise over run —> y2 - y1/x2 - x1
Choose any two coordinates and plug them in. Then simplify. Let me know if you have any questions by commenting:)
Hope I helped:)

Write x2 - 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x - a)2 = b, where a and b are integers. a.)(x - 4)2 = 3 b.) (x - 3)2 = 2 c.)(x - 2)2 = 1 d.
loris [4]
The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.

(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b                                 ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0

Our equation is                x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is    x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0

Thus:
8x = 2ax    and a² - b = 13

Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a           ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4

Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13     ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3

Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
