First, simplify. Combine like terms

10x - 3x = 7x

7x + 1 = x + 4

Isolate the x. Subtract x from both sides, and 1 from both sides

7x (-x) + 1 (-1) = x (-x) + 4 (-1)

7x - x = 4 - 1

Simplify

6x = 3

Isolate the x. Divide 6 from both sides

6x/6 = 3/6

x = 1/2

1/2, or 0.5 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

-3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

7x + 1 = x + 4
-x -x

6x + 1 = 4
-1 -1

6x=3
÷6 ÷6

x= 0.5

sorry it's confusing im only good at math not explaining

Rewrite in Polar Form.... x^(2)+y^(2)-6y-8=0

skad [1K]

$\bf x^2+y^2-6y-8=0\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+y^2=r^2\\\\
y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies r^2-6rsin(\theta)=8
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we do some grouping}\implies [r^2-6rsin(\theta)]=8
\\\\\\\
[r^2-6rsin(\theta)+\boxed{?}^2]=8\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so we need a value there to make}\\
\textit{a perfect square trinomial}
\end{array}$

$\bf 6rsin(\theta)\iff 2\cdot r\cdot \boxed{3\cdot sin(\theta)}\impliedby \textit{so there}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, bear in mind we're just borrowing from zero, 0}
\\\\
\textit{so if we add, \underline{whatever}, we also have to subtract \underline{whatever}}$

$\bf [r^2-6rsin(\theta)\underline{+[3sin(\theta)]^2}]\quad \underline{-[3sin(\theta)]^2}=8\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\uparrow \\
\textit{so-called "completing the square"}
\\\\\\\
[r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+[3sin(\theta)]^2\implies [r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+9sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
r-3sin(\theta)=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}\implies r=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}+3sin(\theta)$

The first quartile of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is _______. (give your answer as a whole number.

notsponge [240]

The first quartile of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is 2.

Given data set: {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Median of the given data set =3.5

The data set can be split into 2 parts as, {1,2,3} and {4,5,6}. The first quartile is calculated by simply finding the median of the first part of the data set.

Thus, the first quartile is 2.

The quarter divides the distribution into four groups and calculates the range of values above and below the mean.

A quartile separates the dataset into four categories by dividing the data into three points: the lowest, median, and upper quartiles.

The interquartile range, a measurement of variation around the median, is calculated using quartiles.
