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

The average fine for entering a National Forest Wilderness without a permit increased from

galina1969 [7]

Fine increase = 78 - 65 = 13
Increase rate = 13/65 x 100% = 20%

Discounted amount = 560 - 476 = 84
Discount rate = 84 / 560 x 100% = 15%

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Third option is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manipulate the right hand side.

$\sec \left(x\right)\\\\=\frac{1}{\cos \left(x\right)}\\\\\mathrm{Use\:the\:following\:identity}:\quad \:1=\cos ^2\left(x\right)+\sin ^2\left(x\right)\\\\=\frac{\cos ^2\left(x\right)+\sin ^2\left(x\right)}{\cos \left(x\right)}\\\\\Rightarrow \mathrm{True}$

Best Regards!

2. Three points of a parallelogram are (4, 3), (-4, 3), and (2, 3). Find the coordinates of the 4th point to complete the parall

antiseptic1488 [7]

Parallelograms have equal and parallel opposite sides

The coordinates of the 4th point is (-2,3)

Let the parallelogram be ABCD, such that:

$A = (4,3)$

$B =(-4,3)$

$C = (2,3)$

A and B have the same y-coordinates, while their x-coordinates are additive inverse

This means that:

The y-coordinates of point C and point D will be the same, while their x-coordinates will be additive inverse.

For point C

We have:

$x = 2$

$y = 3$

For point D

The coordinates would be:

$x =- 2$

$y = 3$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-2,3)

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x+2)

Savatey [412]

Answer= x²+7x+10

When we want to expand expressions such as this, the FOIL method helps us remember what exactly to do. FOIL stands for

F:First
O:Outer
I:Inner
L:Last

So, given the expression (x+5)(x+2), lets multiply the first two terms.

x*x=x²

now the outer two terms

x*2=2x

now the inner terms

5*x=5x

and the last terms...

5*2=10

When we combine these expressions we get:

x²+7x+10

I think this is what you meant to be answered in your question, if I have been mistaken, just comment and I'll edit my answer....
