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

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.

F [ x ] = [ x - 3] [ x + 8 ]
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

f [ x ] = [ x - 3] [ x + 8 ] = x^2 + 5x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x)=[ x - 3] [ x + 8 ]

x [ x + 8 ] -3[ x + 8 ]

x^2 + 8x - 3x - 24

x^2 + 5x - 24

Can anyone figure this out and explain? Thanks
dezoksy [38]

The deepest point of the lake is -922, so to get to the surface of the lake you would need to add 922 feet.

The deepest point of the lake is 11,542 feet above sea level.


To find the surface of the lake add 922 to 11,542.

11542 + 922 = 12,464 feet

lozanna [386]

Answer:

3^(-2y + 6) = (-2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have;

log_3_(-2x+1) = -2y + 6

What this means in exponential form is that;

3^(-2y + 6) = (-2x+1)
