Answer:

<h2>x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4-x)=7x+2\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(8)(4)+(8)(-x)=7x+2\\\\32-8x=7x+2\qquad\text{subtract 32 from both sides}\\\\32-32-8x=7x+2-32\\\\-8x=7x-30\qquad\texy{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-8x-7x=7x-7x-30\\\\-15x=-30\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-15)}\\\\\dfrac{-15x}{-15}=\dfrac{-30}{-15}\\\\x=2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(4 - x) = 7x + 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

32 - 8x = 7x + 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

32 - 15x = 2 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

- 15x = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

x = 2

Factor completely 3x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2). (1 point) (x + 2)(7x)
Nezavi [6.7K]

ANSWER

(x + 2)(3x + 4)

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

3x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2)

We can see that (x+2) is the greatest common factor.

We factor to obtain;

(x + 2)( 3x + 4)

The correct choice is C.

Answer the following questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!
Anna71 [15]

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: B) –10.6

Work/Explanation: Since the sequence slowly gets smaller, it is likely that each term is something added to (subtracted from) the previous term. To get from –7.9 to –8.8, it appears that the first has had –0.9 added to it. Continue adding –0.9 to get that the fourth term is –10.6.

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (4, 0) and (2, 6)? (5 points) y = 4x − 2 y = 2x − 4 y = −3(
DIA [1.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})

We have the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 2,6)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 4,0)\\m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {0-6} {4-2} = \frac {-6} {2} = -3

We chose a point:

(x_ {0}, y_ {0}) :( 4,0)

Substituting in the equation we have:

y-0 = -3 (x-4)\\y = -3 (x-4)

Finally, the equation is: y = -3 (x-4)

Answer:

OPTION C
