Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following word problem which we can solve by breaking it down into parts and translating it into numerical values:

Fourteen more than three times a number is 2.

1. Fourteen more than ---> + 14

2. three times a number ---> 3x (assuming the number to be x)

3. is 2 ---> = 2

So combining these, we get:

3x + 14 = 2

Solving this to get:

3x = 2 - 14

3x = -12

x = -12/3

x = -4

How to find average value of a function over a given interval?

Strike441 [17]

f(x)=8x−6f(x)=8x-6 , [0,3][0,3]

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.(−∞,∞)(-∞,∞){x|x∈R}{x|x∈ℝ}f(x)f(x) is continuous on [0,3][0,3].f(x)f(x) is continuousThe average value of function ff over the interval [a,b][a,b] is defined as A(x)=1b−a∫baf(x)dxA(x)=1b-a∫abf(x)dx.A(x)=1b−a∫baf(x)dxA(x)=1b-a∫abf(x)dxSubstitute the actual values into the formula for the average value of a function.A(x)=13−0(∫308x−6dx)A(x)=13-0(∫038x-6dx)Since integration is linear, the integral of 8x−68x-6 with respect to xx is ∫308xdx+∫30−6dx∫038xdx+∫03-6dx.A(x)=13−0(∫308xdx+∫30−6dx)A(x)=13-0(∫038xdx+∫03-6dx)Since 88 is constant with respect to xx, the integral of 8x8x with respect to xx is 8∫30xdx8∫03xdx.A(x)=13−0(8∫30xdx+∫30−6dx)A(x)=13-0(8∫03xdx+∫03-6dx)By the Power Rule, the integral of xx with respect to xx is 12x212x2.A(x)=13−0(8(12x2]30)+∫30−6dx)

Describe how you would use the Distributive Property to simplify (39 × 5). (2 points)

alexandr402 [8]

Use of distributive property will be
(30 x 5) + (9 x 5)

21. the error for x - 28 = 375 is not 347 is because the student subtracted both sides by 28. 347 - 28 is 319 not 375. One must add 28 to both sides of -28 and 375. The -28 and 28 is zero. 375 + 28 = 403.

22. The next three terms are 0.93, 1.02, and 1.11. The rule in the number pattern is one must add 0.09.
