Answer:

One solution, x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-8=12

To find the solution we have to find the value of x.

to find the value of x, we have to add 8 to BOTH sides.

4x-8=12 (Why add 8? because we have to do the opposite of the sign!)

+8 +8

4x=20

Now to find X we have to ISOLATE IT.

So we take out 4, How? We do the opposite to both sides.

4/4 Cancels out

20/4 = 5

So now we know X=5

Insert in the main problem to check.

4(5)-8=12

20-8=12

12=12

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−8=12

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=12+8

4x=20

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

x=5

Mary spent half of her allowance going to the movies. She washed the family car and earned seven dollars. What is her weekly all

Nata [24]

Answer:If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.

The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.

The equation you want to set up is

0.5x+7=18

Where, 18-7=11

0.5x=11

11/.5 = x

x = $22

Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.

The cost to purchase a song from iTunes is $0.99 per song. To purchase a song from Napster, you must be a member. The Napster me

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

It will take 100 songs for the monthly price of Napster to cost the same as iTunes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create two equations to represent iTunes (T(d)) and Napster (N(d)):

T(d)=0.99d

N(d)=0.89d+10

In order for us to find when the two prices will be the same, let's set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

0.99d=0.89d+10

0.1d=10

d=100

I need help. this is the problem x^2/3+10=7x^1/3

Arlecino [84]

$\it x^{\frac{2}{3}}+10=7x^{\frac{1}{3}} \Leftrightarrow (x^{\frac{1}{3}})^2-7x^{\frac{1}
 {3}} +10=0 
\\\;\\
We\ note\ x^{\frac{1}{3}} =t \ \ and \ the \ equation \ will \ be:
\\\;\\
t^2-7t+10 = 0 \Leftrightarrow t^2 -2t-5t+10=0 \Leftrightarrow t(t-2) -5(t-2)=0$

$\it \Leftrightarrow (t-2)(t-5)=0 
\\\;\\
t-2=0 \Rightarrow t=2 \Rightarrow x^{\frac{1}{3}}=2 \Rightarrow (x^{\frac{1}{3}})^3 =2^3 \Rightarrow x = 8
\\\;\\
t-5=0 \Rightarrow t=5 \Rightarrow x^{\frac{1}{3}}= 5 \Rightarrow (x^{\frac{1}{3}})^3 = 5^3 \Rightarrow x = 125$

S = {8; 125}
