4x+2x+2=3x-7 I need help

Hey there!
This is a pretty long equation, but don't let it confuse you- it's full of like terms.
Let's clean up the right side by adding the 4x and the 2x:

6x+2=3x-7

We can subtract 3x from both sides:

3x + 2 = -7

Subtract two to both sides to get:

3x = -9

Finally, divide both sides by 3 to get:

x = -3

Hopefully this helps!

First, you should add your like-terms on the left side.
6x+2=3x-7
Then subtract 3x from 6x to get rid of the x on the right side.
3x+2=-7
After that, subtract two from -7.
3x=-9
Divide -9 by 3.
x=-3.

Old McDonald had a farm. In one pen the old farmer had chickens and bulls together. In that pen there were 40 animals in total,

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pen had chickens and bulls. The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .

Let

a = number of chicken

b = number of bull

a + b = 40................(i)

A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.

The total legs can be represented as

2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)

combine the equation

a + b = 40................(i)

2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)

a = 40 - b

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

2(40 - b) + 4b = 130

80 - 2b + 4b = 130

80 + 2b = 130

2b = 130 - 80

2b = 50

divide both sides by 2

b = 50/2

b = 25

Insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + b = 40

a + 25 = 40

a = 40 - 25

a = 15

There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.

Solve the inequality 4t^2 ≤ 9t-2 please show steps and interval notation. thank you!

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: $t\in [\dfrac{1}{4},2]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Inequality is $4t^2\leq9t-2$

Taking variables one side

$\Rightarrow 4t^2-9t+2\leq0\\\Rightarrow 4t^2-8t-t+2\leq0\\\Rightarrow 4t(t-2)-1(t-2)\leq0\\\Rightarrow (4t-1)(t-2)\leq0$

Using wavy curve method

$t\in [\dfrac{1}{4},2]$
