Simplify. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Follow PEMDAS.

Isolate the x.

First, distribute 6 to all terms within the parenthesis

6(-3) = -18

6(4x) = 24x

7x - 18 + 24x = 199

Simplify. Combine like terms

31x - 18 = 199

Isolate the x. Add 18 to both sides

31x - 18 (+18) = 199 (+18)

31x = 199 + 18

31x = 217

Isolate the x. Divide 31 from both sides

31x/31 = 217/31

x = 217/31

x = 7

7 is your answer for x

hope this helps

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable n^4-11n^2+30/ n^4-7n^2+10
djyliett [7]
To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute n^{2} with x; so n^{2} =x and n ^{4} =  x^{2}. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
\frac{n^{4}-11n^{2} +30 }{n^{2}-7n^{2} +10 } =  \frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10}
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form a x^{2} +bx+c. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is c (30) and its sum b (-11); those numbers are -5 and -6. (-5)(-6)=30 and -5-6=-11.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5. (-2)(-5)=10 and -2-5=-7. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
\frac{ x^{2} -11x+30}{ x^{2} -7x+10} = \frac{(x-6)(x-5)}{(x-2)(x-5)}
Notice that we have (x-5) in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
\frac{x-6}{x-2}
But remember than x= n^{2}, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
\frac{n^{2}-6 }{n^{2}-2 }
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is n^{2} -2 \neq 0
n^{2}  \neq 2
n \neq +or- \sqrt{2}

The cost of manufacturing x refrigerators is given by the function f(x)=2x^2+6000. If the cost doubles fr the year 2011 owing to
Alecsey [184]

Answer:  Vertical Stretch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of manufacturing x refrigerators is given by the function :f(x)=2x^2+6000

If the cost doubles fr the year 2011 owing to higher raw material prices, then we multiply the given function by 2, then we get a new function :

g(x)=2(2x^2+6000)=4x^2+12000 which represents a vertical stretch in the graph.

∵ 2 is a positive constant  greater than 1 which is multiplied to the parent function f(x). So by the definition of vertical stretch the parent function will be vertically stretched .

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn
Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

3x + 4y = 24 (Spending all the money in your wallet)

x + y = 7 (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

x = 7-y

Substituting in the first equation:

3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

x = 7-3\\x = 4

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
