Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

3 (x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Simplify.

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Add like terms.

(3x+4x) + (6-20) = 10

Simplify.

7x - 14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides of the equation.

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7 so that X is by itself.

x = 24/7, or 3 3/7

~Hope I helped!~

How many solutions will this system of equations have? (2 points)

Agata [3.3K]

The answer is infinitely many solutions

If you divide the 2nd equation by 3, you get the first equation, meaning they are identical. That means that any value of x will be true, which means there are infinite solutions

Solve for w. | – w|≥2 Write a compound inequality like 1 < x < 3 or like x < 1 or x > 3. Use integers, proper fracti

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$-2 \geq w \geq 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$|-w| \geq 2$

Required

Solve for w

$|-w| \geq 2$

In absolution functions;

$|-w| = |w|$

So, the given expression can be rewritten as

$|w| \geq 2$

Removing the absolute sign, will gibe

$w \geq 2$ or $w \leq -2$

When the second inequality os rewritten, it gives

$w \geq 2$ or $-2 \geq w$

Reorder both inequalities

$-2 \geq w$ or $w \geq 2$

Lastly, both inequalities are combined

$-2 \geq w \geq 2$

1.5/4x+1=0.4/x+4 PLEASE HELP ITS PROPORTIONS

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

Given the equation: $\frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4}$

By cross multiply we get;

$1.5(x+4) = 0.4(4x+1)$

Using distributive property; $a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

$1.5x + 6= 1.6x + 0.4$

Subtract 0.4 from both sides we get;

$1.5x +5.6= 1.6x$

Subtract 1.5x from both sides we get;

$5.6= 0.1x$

Divide both sides by 0.1 we get;

$x = \frac{5.6}{0.1}$

Simplify:

x = 56

Therefore, the value of x that satisfy the equation $\frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4}$ is, 56
