Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also, follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis:

4(3x + 2) = (4)(3x) + (4)(2) = 12x + 8

12x + 8 = 68

Isolate the variable x. Subtract 8 from both sides.

12x + 8 (-8) = 68 (-8)

12x = 68 - 8

12x = 60

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 12 from both sides.

(12x)/12 = (60)/12

x = 60/12

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3x+2)=68

Divide each side by 4

4/4(3x+2)=68/4

3x+2 =17

Subtract 2 from each side

3x+2-2 = 17-2

3x = 15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x =5

7x(x+1.8)=0 7x(x+1.8)=0 7x(x+1.8)=0 Answer those 3

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The answer to all of those questions would be x=-1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x(x + 1.8) = 0 - Distribute through the Parenthesis -

7x^2 + 12.6x = 0

x(7x + 12.6) = 0

x = 0

7x + 12.6 = 0

7x = -12.6

x = -12.6/7

x = -1.8

so x = 0 or x = -1.8

Find the number c that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. (Enter your answers as a comma-

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

c is all the points in the open interval (0,25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given is a function

$f(x) =x$ , which is continuous in the interval [0,25] and differentiable in (0,25)

Mean value theorem says there exists at least one c in the interval (0,25) such that

$f'(c) = \frac{f(25)-f(0)}{25-0}$

We have

$f(25)=25 and f(0) = 0\\f'(c) = 1$

For the given function

$f'(x) =1$

Hence we have c equals all the points in the open interval (0,25)

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form

Damm [24]

Answer:

$y=-3x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is $y-(-2)=-3(x-2)$ . Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to $(x-2)$ ,

$y-(-2)=-3x+6$

Then, add -2 to both sides,

$y=-3x+4$

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
