Answer: $x=4$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

$-7x+8=-4(x+1)\\-7x+8=(-4)(x)+(-4)(1)(Distribute)\\-7x+8=-4x+-4$

Add 4x to both sides

$-7x+8+4x=-4x-4+4x\\-3x+8=-4$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$-3x+8-8=-4-8\\-3x=-12$

Divide both sides by -3

$-3x/-3=-12/-3\\x=4$

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first simplify the equation.

-7x+8= -4x-4

You get -4x-4 by distributing the -4 into the numbers in the parenthesis because -4 is right outside the parenthesis.

-4 times x= -4x

-4 times 1= -4

-7x+8= -4x-4

Next, move the -4x to where the -7x is because we want to combine like terms. When a number moves to the opposite side, it changes from positive to negative or negative to positive. Like here: -4x moves to a different side, so it becomes +4x.

-7x+4x+8= -4

Do the same for 8. Since -4 is on the other side, move 8 to that side. It turns from +8 to -8.

-7x+4x= -4-8

Combine like terms and solve.

-7x+4x= -3x

-4-8= -12

So we have this now: -3x= -12

Since 12 divided by 3 is 4, and negative with negative is positive, it becomes positive 4. :)

What is the fourth term in the binomial expansion of (2x – y) 7?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$(7C4) (2x)^4 (-y)^{7-4}$

And replacing we got:

$35 (2^4) x^4 (-y)^{-3}$

And then the final term would be:

$-560 x^4 y^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression:

$(2x-y)^7$

And we can use the binomial theorem given by:

$(x+y)^n =\sum_{k=0}^n (nCk) x^k y^{n-k}$

And for this case we want to find the fourth term and using the formula we have:

$(7C4) (2x)^4 (-y)^{7-4}$

And replacing we got:

$35 (2^4) x^4 (-y)^{-3}$

And then the final term would be:

$-560 x^4 y^3$

Answer:

Make sure you are using a perfect circle. This method won't work with ellipses, ovals or anything but a real circle. A circle is defined as all the points on a plane that are an equal distance from a single center point. The lids of jars are good household objects to use for this exercise.You should be able to calculate pi roughly because in order to get exact results of pi, you will need to ...

Measure the circumference of a circle as accurately as you can. The circumference is the length that goes around the entire edge of the circle. Since the circumference is round, it can be difficult to measure (that's why pi is so important). Lay a string over the circle as closely as you can. Mark the string off where it circles back around, and then measure the string length with a ruler.

Measure the diameter of the circle. The diameter runs from one side of the circle to the other through the circle's center point.

Use the formula. The circumference of a circle is found with the formula C= π*d = 2*π*r. Thus pi equals a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. Plug your numbers into a calculator: the result should be roughly 3.14.[3] X Research source

Repeat this process with several different circles, and then average the results.
