-4x+1=2x-17 What is the solution for x ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
katovenus [111]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 3}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{ - 4x + 1 = 2x - 17}

Move 2x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 1 to right hand side and change it's sign

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 4x - 2x =  - 17 - 1}}

Collect like terms

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x =  - 17 - 1}}

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x =  - 18}}

Divide both sides by -6

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{ - 6x}{ - 6}  =  \frac{ - 18}{ - 6}}}

Calculate

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = 3}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

To rent a bounce house: At Mike's Bounce Shop costs $30 plus $2 per hour. At Jose's Bounce Rentals, it costs $12 plus $8 per hou
ANEK [815]

Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.

Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)

At Mike's Bounce Shop,

Total cost (y)= 30+2x

At Jose's Bounce Rentals,

Total cost(y) =  12+8x

When both shops have the same cost, then

12+8x=30+2x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8x-2x=30-12\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=18\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36

Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.

A person in a casino decides to play 3 games of blackjack. let w denote a win and l denote a loss. define the event a as "the pe
Ann [662]

Answer: The answer is {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.



Step-by-step explanation: Given that a person in the casino is going to play 3 games of blackjack. Here, 'w' denotes a win and 'l' denotes a loss.  

Also, let 'A' be the event that the person wins at least one game of blackjack. Then, the outcomes of Event 'A' are

(i) win in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       loss in 3rd game

(ii) win in 1st game     win in 2nd game        loss in 3rd game

(iii) win in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

(iv) win in 1st game     win in 2nd game        win in 3rd game

(v) loss in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

(vi) loss in 1st game     win in 2nd game        loss in 3rd game

(vii) loss in 1st game     win in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

Thus, the outcomes of the event A are (w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l) and (l, w, w).

Thus, A = {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.
