2|7 − 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
7 - 7x = x + 2 or 7 - 7x = -(x + 2)
-8x = -5 or 7 - 7x = -x - 2
x = 5/8 or -6x = -9
x = 5/8 or x = 9/6
x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
To check for extraneous solutions, we check both solutions in the original equation.
<em>Check solution 5/8:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 5/8| = 5/8 + 2
|56/8 - 35/8| = 5/8 + 16/8
21/8 = 21/8
<u>Solution x = 5/8 works.</u>
<em>Check solution 3/2:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 3/2| = 3/2 + 2
|14/2 - 21/2| = 3/2 + 4/2
|-7/2| = 7/2
7/2 = 7/2
<u>Solution 3/2 also works.</u>
Answer: x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
Answer:
I actually don't know where I stand. I'm kind of pro-animal testing but then at the same time I'm against it.
So I'm pro-animal testing because we need to test animals to have a cure for diseases or just vaccines in general. I'm against animal-testing because it is very cruel and I don't think any animal deserve that.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
North and North and South and South can't connect.
To have a magnetic effect North and South have to connect.
B has north and south together, so that is the correct answer
<span>1/5
This is a matter of elimination. So let's figure out how many of each display there is.
30% of 150 = 0.30 * 150 = 45 displays about electricity.
2/5 * 150 = 0.40 * 150 = 60 displays about renewable energy
1/10 * 150 = 150/10 = 15 displays about gas.
The rest of the displays are about nuclear power. So
150 - 45 - 60 - 15 = 30 displays about nuclear power. Since we want a fraction, we get 30/150
But 30/150 isn't in it's simplest form. The largest number that will evenly divide both 30 and 150 is 30. So divide both the numerator and denominator by 30
(30/30)/(150/30) = 1/5
So 1/5 of the displays are about nuclear power.</span>
Answer:
X=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
