7-4x= 31

Bring over 7 to the other side

Positive 7 changes into negative 7

7-7-4x= 31-7

-4x= 24

Divide by -4 for -4x and 24

-4x/-4= 24/-4

x= -6

Check answer by using substitution method

7-4x= 31

7-4(-6)= 31

7+24= 31

31= 31

Answer:

C. x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

7 - 4x = 31

7 (-7) - 4x = 31 (-7)

-4x = 31 - 7

-4x = 24

Divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(-4x)/-4 = (24)/-4

x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6, or C. is your answer.

Match the equation with its corresponding solution for x: 4x+7=35

Goryan [66]

4x+7=35
4x=28
x=7

A corresponding solution of the matching equation is a fancier way of telling you to find the number that represents x

What is the solution to this equation 8 - 2x + 6x = 24

san4es73 [151]

x = 4

First you combine like terms:

8 + 4x = 24

Then solve:

4x = 24 - 8

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

Look at the graph shown below:

ElenaW [278]

So.. take a peek at the picture... let's get two points from it, hmm say 0,4 notice it touches the y-axis there, and say hmmm -4, 1, almost at the bottom of the line

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{-4-0}$

$\bf y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{plug in the values for }
\begin{cases}
y_1=4\\
x_1=0\\
m=\boxed{?}
\end{cases}\\
\textit{and solve for "y"}
\end{array}\\
\left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}$

once you get the slope and solve for "y", that'd be the equation of the line.
