Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

40−x=3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

40−x=3x

40+−x=3x

−x+40=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−x+40−3x=3x−3x

−4x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−4x+40−40=0−40

−4x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

−40

−4

x=10

True… irrational numbers focus more around square roots that cant be simplified into a single number, or symbols like pi. while not all rational numbers are whole, an irrational number can never be whole.

How do you graph y=-1.5<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" x^{2} " alt=" x^{2} " align

$y=-1.5 x^{2} +6 \\ \\ x=-3 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-3)^2+6 =-1.5*9+6=-13.5+6=-7.5\\ \\x=-2 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-2)^2+6 =-1.5*4+6=-6+6=0\\ \\x=-1 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(-1)^2+6 =-1.5*1+6=-1.5+6=-4.5\\ \\x=0 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*0^2+6 =6$

$x=1 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*(1)^2+6 =-1.5+6=-4.5\\ \\ x= 2 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*2^2+6 =-1.5*4+6=-6+6=0\\ \\x=3 \Rightarrow y=-1.5*3^2+6 =-1.5*9+6=-13.5+6=-7.5$
