4n + 8 = n - 7
(In which 'n' represents the unknown number)
(4n + 8): "Eight more than the product of four and a number"
(= n - 7): "Is equivalent to seven less than the same number in equation form."
Subtract 8 from both sides:
4n = n - 15
Subtract n from both sides:
3n = -15
Divide both sides by 3:
n = -5
Answer:
x = 2√13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagoras theorem:
14^2 = x^2 + 12^2
x^2 = 14^2 - 12^2
x^2 = (14 + 12)(14 - 12) = 52
x = √52
x = √4*√13
x = 2√13.
-5x + 46 +4z
Combine like terms
-5x + 2x = -3x
-3x + -2x = -5x
14 - (-32) = 46
4z is left alone since it doesn't have a like term.
