5x - 6 = 4x + 8
-4x -4x

x - 6 = 8
+6 +6

x = 14

First let's get X to one side by subtracting 4x from both sides. (5x-4x) -6 = 8. x-6=8. Now we add 6 to both sides to isolate "x". x=8+6=14. Our answer is x=14.

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit.

gayaneshka [121]

Let's call f(x) = 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3⁻ˣ + 1.

First, you need to evaluate each function at the given values of x.
f(1) = 2(1) - 4 = -2
f(3.25) = 2(3.25) - 4 = 2.50
f(2.5) = 2(2.5) - 4 = 1
f(2) = 2(2) - 4 = 0

Similarly:
g(1) = 3⁻¹ + 1 = 1.33
g(3.25) = 3⁻³'²⁵ + 1 = 1.03
g(2.5) = 3⁻²'⁵ + 1 = 1.06
g(2) = 3⁻² + 1 = 1.11

Now, look for the value of x for which f(x) ≈ g(x): this happens for x = 2.5
Therefore the correct answer is c) x ≈ 2.5
