Answer: x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-7= -3x First add -3x on both sides

+3x +3x

7x -7 = 0

+7 +7 add 7 to both sides

7x = 7

x = 1 divide both sides by 7

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 3x to both sides of the problem

4x + 3x - 7 = -3x + 3x
-3x + 3x cancels out and leaves us with zero
7x - 7 = 0

2. Add 7 to both sides

7x (- 7 + 7) = 0 + 7
-7 + 7 cancels out
7x = 7

3. Divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 7/7
x = 1

To make sure our answer is correct we can plug in 1 to x in the problem

4(1) - 7 = -3(1)
4 - 7 = -3 : True

Answer:

$\frac{4x+2}{x^2 - 9x + 8} = \frac{4x}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{2}{(x-8)(x-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{4x+2}{x^{2}-9+8 } = \frac{A}{()(x-1)} + \frac{B}{()(x-8)}$

Required

Fill in the gaps

Going by the given parameters, we have that

$\frac{4x+2}{x^{2}-9+8 } = \frac{A}{()(x-1)} + \frac{B}{()(x-8)}$

$x^2 - 9x + 8$ , when factorized is $(x-1)(x-8)$

Hence; the expression becomes

$\frac{4x+2}{(x-1)(x-8)} = \frac{A}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{B}{(x-1)(x-8)}$

Combine Fractions

$\frac{4x+2}{(x-1)(x-8)} = \frac{A + B}{(x-8)(x-1)}$

Simplify the denominators

$4x + 2 = A + B$

By direct comparison

$A = 4x$

$B = 2$

Hence, the complete expression is

$\frac{4x+2}{x^2 - 9x + 8} = \frac{4x}{(x-8)(x-1)} + \frac{2}{(x-8)(x-1)}$

Bean plants grow rapidly. A bean plant is 16 inches tall. Tomorrow it will be 24 inches tall, the next day it will be 32 inches

vodka [1.7K]

Every day, it increases by 8 inches. We know that it started at 16 inches.

We can construct an equation with this information.

Equation: 16+8x=h
h=Height
x=Days

Plug in 12 for x:
16+96=h
h=112 inches

Answer: The plant will be 112 inches tall in 12 days.
