3/7x + 4 = -1/2
subtract 4 from both sides
3/7x= -1/2 - 4
3/7x= -4 1/2
divide both sides by 3/7
x= -4 1/2 ÷ 3/7
convert -4 1/2 to improper fraction
x= (-4*1+1)/2 ÷ 3/7
x= -9/2 ÷ 3/7
multiply by reciprocal of 3/7
x= -9/2 * 7/3
multiply numerators & denominators
x= (-9*7)/(2*3)
x= -63/6
x= -10 3/6
simplify 3/6 by 3
x= -10 1/2
CHECK:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
3/7(-63/6) + 4= -1/2
(3*-63)/(7*6) + 4= -1/2
-189/42 + 4= -1/2
-4 1/2 + 4= -1/2
-1/2= -1/2
ANSWER: x= -63/6 or -10 1/2
Hope this helps! :)

Complete the model
[ ] x = 6.60
x = _ hundredths

Equate to x

Multiply both sides by 15



So, we have:
[ ] x = 6.60 =====> 
Recall that:


This implies that:

Hence:
x = _ hundredths =====> 
A^2+b^2=c^2
160^2+160^2 = 51,200
Square root of that is <span>226.27416998</span>
<span>x 2 + 2x + 1 if you wanted is just 4x+1
