If the dots are going to the right, it's positive. If they're going to the left, they're negative.
2x^2 - 4 = 68
add 4 to both sides
2x^2 = 72
divide both sides by 2
x^2 = 36
find the square root of each sides
x = 6, -6
ANSWER: the positive value of x is 6
4(x-2/3) = -18
4x - 8/3 = -18
4x = -54/3 + 8/3
4x = -46/3
x = -46/3 * 1/4
x = -46/12
x = -23/2
2x = -23/2 * 2
2x = -46/2
2x = -23
Answer:
Option A, B, and C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, 6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x - 1),
Solve to find the correct representations given in the options.
6x ≥ 3 + 4(2x - 1)
Apply distributive property
6x ≥ 3 + 8x - 4 (option B is correct) ✅
Add like terms
6x ≥ -1 + 8x
Add 1 to both sides
6x + 1 ≥ 8x
Subtract 6x from each side
1 ≥ 8x - 6x
1 ≥ 2x (option A is correct) ✅
Divide both sides by 2
1/2 ≥ 2x/2
½ ≥ x
½ ≥ x means all possible values of x are less than 0.5. representing this inequality on a graph, we would have the directed line starting at 0.5 moving towards our left.
This make option C correct.✅
