-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

bearhunter [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You already got the first step, where D is the midpoint of AC and AB is congruent to BC, since it's given.

2. AD will be congruent to DC, via the definition of a midpoint (a midpoint is the middle point of a line segment, and it splits the segment into two congruent parts)

3. BD is equal to BD, via reflexive property. ( It's a shared side between the two triangles)

4. that means that ΔADB ≅ΔCDB via SSS rule.

5. ∠ABD ≅∠CDB by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

Hope this helps! :)

If it takes 8 inches of ribbon to make a bow,how many bows can be made from 3 feet of ribbon (1 foot = 12 inches)? Will any ribb
Aloiza [94]

First, find out how much ribbon there is.

3 x 12 = 36

Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.

36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.

So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.

I would say it’s better to buy the 36 box pens. 24\4.32=5.6 on the other hand the box of 36 is 36/5.76=6.25

Recall the Akaike information Criterion (AIC) as well as the related Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) from our study of Vari
irga5000 [103]

Step-by-step explanation:

To check out how efficient or accurate a model is, we use the akaike information criterion or the Bayesian. If the AIC or BIC are lower, then this model would be better. They are also used to control for model complexity

Akaike information criterion = 2k-2ln where k is the number of parameter. A higher k gives a higher AIC.

In the real world complex models are discouraged and avoided since

1. They cause data to be over fitted and can capture noise and information from this data.

2. They are complex and therefore difficult to interpret

3. They consume a lot of time and computing them has several inefficiencies.

Using these two as measure of performance, we can select optimal choice of independent variable.

With forward/backward regression, we are able to put new variables in the model or remove from it. The best is the one with lowest AIC.
