The given equation is
0.75(x + 40) = 3(4x + 1) - 2

Expand the equation.
0.75x + 30 = 12x + 3 - 2
0.75 - 12x = 3 - 2 - 30
-11.25x = -29
x = -29/-11.25 = 2.5778

Answer: There is 1 solution, which is 2.5778.

Let's eliminate the fractional multiplier 0.75.  To do this, mult the entire equation by 4/3:

x+40 = (4/3)(3)(4x+1) - 2(4/3)

(4/3)(3) simplifies to just 4, so now we have:

x+40 = 4(4x+1) - 8/3

Mult. all 3 terms by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

3x + 120 = 12(4x+1) - 8

Perform the multiplication:

3x + 120  = 48x + 12 - 8,            or            116 = 45x

Solving for x,    x = 2.578, or     x = 7/90 (answer)


We could also simplify the original equation,  <span>0.75(x+40)=3(4x+1)-2, by multiplying all 3 terms by 100:

75x + 3000 = 1200x + 300 - 200

Then 3000 - 300 + 200 = 1125x, and x = 7/90 (same as before)</span>

Answer:

Yes the relationship is linear and given by:

y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9) (first option of your list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is a linear expression. As we did in previous exercises, we calculate the difference between consecutive y values of the table, and write down the answers we get:

-7-(-2) = -7+2 = -5

-12-(-7) = -12 +7 = -5

-17 - (-12) = -17 + 12 = -5

We notice that all of them give "-5"

Now we evaluate the difference between consecutive x-values in a similar fashion:

-5 -(-9) = -5+9 = 4

-1-(-5) = -1+5 = 4

3-(-1) = 3+1 = 4

We see that they all give 4 as the difference.

That means that the rate of change \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2}=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{-5}{4}

This means that the slope (rate of change) of the line is "-5/4"

We can now use the general point-slope form to write the equation of the line, using the first pair of the table as our selected point, and using "-5/4" for the slope:

y-y_0=m\,(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x-(-9))\\y+2=-\frac{5}{4} \,(x+9)

which is the first expression listed among your possible answer choices.

Montano1993 [528]
Counting each visible cube, and multiplying it by 2, he used 112. If you counted them, there would be 56 cubes. You'd multiply by 2 for the non-visible ones.
