2 - 4x = 3x - 12 Solve for x

Mathematics

gavmur [86]3 years ago

Answer:

2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 4x = 3x - 12

Add 4x to each side

2 - 4x+4x = 3x+4x - 12

2 = 7x-12

Add 12 to each side

2 +12 = 7x - 12+12

14 = 7x

Divide each side by 7

14/7 = 7x/7

2 =x

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

2 - 4x = 3x - 12

Step 2: Add 4x on both sides

2 - 4x + 4x = 3x + 4x - 12

2 = 7x - 12

Step 3: Add 12 on both sides

2 + 12 = 7x - 12 + 12

14 = 7x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7

14/7 = 7x/7

2 = x

Step 5: Rewrite

x = 2

Compare these two functions. Which<br> has the greater rate of change?<br> y= -6x + 7
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

y = -6x + 7 has greater rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first one, the rate of change is -6x and for the second one, the rate of change is -5x so the rate of change for y = -6x + 7 is greater.

Use the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 to find the slop for the  second equation. the second equation is y = -5x

Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots the first fire triangle numbers are 1 3 6 10 and
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

There's no direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position

I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)

*

**

***

****

*****

Represent the line number with y and it's position with x

On line 1:

y = 1, x = 1

On line 2:

y = 2, x = 3

On line 3:

y = 3, x = 6

On line 4:

y = 4, x = 10

On line 5:

y = 5, x = 15

Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.

Direct variation is represented by

y = kx

Or

kx = y

Where k is the constant of variation

For line 1:

Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x

k * 1 = 1

k = 1

For line 2:

Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x

k * 3 = 2

Divide through by 3

k = ⅔

Note that the values of k in both computations differ.

This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.
