1 Expand.

8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x

2 Simplify 8x-6-88x−6−8 to 8x-148x−14.

8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x

3 Add 1414 to both sides.

8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14

4 Simplify 4+2x+144+2x+14 to 2x+182x+18.

8x=2x+188x=2x+18

5 Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

8x-2x=188x−2x=18

6 Simplify 8x-2x8x−2x to 6x6x.

6x=186x=18

7 Divide both sides by 66.

x=\frac{18}{6}x=

8 Simplify \frac{18}{6}

to 33.

x=3x=3

Done Hope this helps let me know if u have any questions thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Expand.

8x-6-8=4+2x8x−6−8=4+2x

2 Simplify 8x-6-88x−6−8 to 8x-148x−14.

8x-14=4+2x8x−14=4+2x

3 Add 1414 to both sides.

8x=4+2x+148x=4+2x+14

4 Simplify 4+2x+144+2x+14 to 2x+182x+18.

8x=2x+188x=2x+18

5 Subtract 2x2x from both sides.

8x-2x=188x−2x=18

6 Simplify 8x-2x8x−2x to 6x6x.

6x=186x=18

7 Divide both sides by 6.

x= 18/6

8 Simplify 18/6 to 3

x=3

On a coordinate plane, 2 lines are shown. Line P Q has points (negative 8, 2) and (4, 2). Line M N has points (8, 6) and (8, neg

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Slope of PQ = 0

Slope of MN = infinity

PQ and MN are perpendicular to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

for any two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2)given in coordinate plane slope is given by

$y1 - y2/x1-x2\\\\For \ line \ PQ\\slope = 2 - 2/-8-4 = 0\\\\For \ line \ MN \\slope = 6 - (-8)/8-8 = 1/0 = infinity\\\\$

For any line if slope is zero it is parallel to X axis and perpendicular to Y axis

For any line if slope is infinity it is parallel to Y axis and perpendicular to X axis

Also we know X and Y are perpendicular to each other.

Since slope of PQ is zero it is parallel to X axis and perpendicular to Y axis

Since slope of MN is infinity it is parallel to Y axis and perpendicular to X axis.

Thus two lines PQ and MN are perpendicular to each other.

Problem Page Question An urn contains black and pink balls. Four balls are randomly drawn from the urn in succession, with replacement. That is, after each draw, the selected ball is returned to the urn. What is the probability that all balls drawn from the urn are pink? Round your answer to three decimal places.

A firm has a fixed cost of $500 in its first year of operation. When the firm produces 100 units of output, its total costs are

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

option (a) $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Fixed cost = $500

For 100 units produced Total cost = $3,500

For 101 units produced, Total cost = $3,750

Now,

Marginal cost is calculated as:

Marginal cost = $\frac{\textup{Total change in cost of producing more goods}}{\textup{Total change in produced goods}}$

thus,

Marginal cost = $\frac{\textup{Total cost of 101 units - Total cost of 100 units}}{\textup{101-100}}$

Marginal cost = $\frac{\textup{3,750-3,500}}{\textup{1}}$

Marginal cost = $250

Hence,

The correct answer is option (a) $250
