My answer-

Simplifying 5x + -14 = 8x + 4

Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x

Solving -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8x' to each side of the equation. -14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x -14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0 -14 + -3x = 4 + 0 -14 + -3x = 4 Add '14' to

each side of the equation. -14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0 0 + -3x = 4 + 14 -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18 -3x = 18 

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -6

Simplifying x = -6

Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

get 1 of the x on one side

5x-14=8x+4
minus 5x both sides (we want on left side because 8>5 and I like positive stuff)

5x-5x-14=8x-5x+4
0-14=3x+4
-14=3x+4
minus 4 both sides
-14-4=3x+4-4
-18=3x+0
-18=3x
divide both sides by 3
remember, negative/positive=negative
-18/3=(3x)/3
-6=x(3/3)
-6=x(1)
-6=x
x=-6

Anna would like to purchase a new bike that costs $205. She already has $31 saved. If she saves a maximum of $12 a week, the fol

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

It will take at least 15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

12w+31 ≥ 205

Subtract 31 from each side

12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31

12w ≥ 174

Divide each side by 12

12w/12 ≥ 174/12

w ≥ 14.5

Rounding up to the nearest integer

w ≥ 15

It will take at least 15 weeks

Calculate the perimeter of the figure below.

mote1985 [20]

Well, we know perimeter is just adding all the lengths together.

And we already know 2 of the lengths, so we know the rest. 11 1/2 is the same as the opposite side, and 6 1/3 is the same as the opposite side.

So the sides are 6 1/3, 6 1/3, 11 1/2, 11 1/2.

Add them up:

6 1/3 + 6 1/3 + 11 1/2 + 11 1/2.

Improper fractions:

19/3 + 19/3 + 23/2 + 23/2.

Common denominator, (6):

38/6 + 38/6 + 69/6 + 69/6 = 214/6.

Simplify:

214/6 = 35 2/3

What is the value of c such that the line y=2x+3 is tangent to the parabola y=cx^2

satela [25.4K]

The value of $c$ such that the line $y = 2\cdot x + 3$ is tangent to the parabola $y = c\cdot x^{2}$ is $-\frac{1}{3}$ .

If $y = 2\cdot x + 3$ is a line tangent to the parabola $y = c\cdot x^{2}$ , then we must observe the following condition, that is, the slope of the line is equal to the first derivative of the parabola:

$2\cdot c \cdot x = 2$ (1)
