Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 3x + -7x = 8 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 3x + -7x = -4x

4 + -4x = 8 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

4 + -4x = 8 + 0

4 + -4x = 8

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + -4x = 8 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -4x = 8 + -4

-4x = 8 + -4

Combine like terms: 8 + -4 = 4

-4x = 4

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = -1

Simplifying

x = -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 =7x + 8

group like terms:

3x - 7x = 8 - 4

step 2:

-4x = 4

step 3:

-4x/-4 = 4/-4

therefore -4 will cancel -4 to remain the x :

x = 4/-4

which is equal as 0:

x =0

A video game sets the points needed to reach the next level based on the function g(x) = 7(3)^(x − 1), where x is the current le

Good morning.

In level 4, the experience needed is:

$\mathsf{g(4) = 7\cdot3^{4-1}}\\ \\ \mathsf{g(4) = 7\cdot3^3 = 7\cdot27}\\ \\ \mathsf{g(4) = 189}$

In the hardest settings, the multiplier is:

$\mathsf{h(4) = 4\cdot 4}\\ \\ \mathsf{h(4) = 16}$

So, the adjusted experience points are: multiplier . base experience

$\mathsf{E(x) = h(x)g(x)}\\ \\ \mathsf{E(4) = h(4)g(4) = 16\cdot 189}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{E(4) = 3024 \ points}}$
