<h3>Answer: choice C) 15</h3>

Simplify the left side to get

2(4+x)+(13+x)

2(4)+2(x) +13+x

8+2x+13+x

3x+21

------------

So the original equation

2(4+x)+(13+x) = 3x+k

turns into

3x+21 = 3x+k

------------

Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+21 = 3x+k

3x+21-3x = 3x+k-3x

21 = k

k = 21

-----------

If k = 21, then the original equation will have infinitely many solutions. This is because we will end up with 3x+21 on both sides, leading to 0 = 0 after getting everything to one side. This is a true equation no matter what x happens to be.

If k is some fixed number other than 21, then there will be no solutions. This equation is inconsistent (one side says one thing, the other side says something different). If k = 15, then

3x+21 = 3x+k

3x+21 = 3x+15

21 = 15 .... subtract 3x from both sides

The last equation is false, so there are no solutions here.

note: if you replace k with a variable term, then there will be exactly one solution.

Can someone help me with a question!?!?
Len [333]

If the parent graph f(x) = x² is changed to f(x) = 2x², the vertex of the parabola will still remain (0, 0) because whenever the equation of a parabola is in the form y = ax², the vertex will always be (0, 0).

Now if <em>a</em> is a big number, the parabola will become narrower.

So it will stretch vertically and become narrower.

30 drinkers were asked whether they like coffee or tea.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a)22

b)7

c)8

Step-by-step explanation: its really complicated so ill try my best.

so the say 11 like both coffee and tea so that means that they also added 11 to

the other two sections. so if we take 11 away from 18 we get 7, and that's how many people like coffee and not tea. to get answer c) we need to also subtract 11 from 15, which gets us 4. so we have 11 plus 4 plus 7. and that gets us 22.  so 30 subtract 22 gets us 8 so 8 people don't like tea or coffee. 22 is also the answer to a). did you get that? i hope so
