Answer:

x=23/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x=c+ay

7=c+3a | *(-1)

9=c+6a

-7=-c-3a

9=c+6a

------------

9-7=c-c+6a-3a

2=3a

a=2/3

7=c+3*2/3

7=c+2

-2 -2

5=c

so x=5+2/3*y

when y=4 then x=5+2/3*4=5+8/3

x=15/3+8/3

x=23/3

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(3x - 7) = 40 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

3x - 7 = - 10 ( add 7 to both sides )

3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 1

1 foot = 12 inches, so now you add 3 inches until you get 12. you add 3, 4 times toget 12. 3+3=6+3=9+3=12 and do that again for the 2nd foot 3+3=6+3=9+3=12 you added 3, 4 times to get 12 twice so now add 4+4=8

Which are the solutions of x2 = –7x – 8?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The solutions are:

$x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2}$ $x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following quadratic equation

$x^2 = -7x - 8$

We can rewrite the equation as follows

$x^2+7x + 8=0$

Now we use the quadratic formula to solve the equation

For an equation of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ the quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case:

$a=1,\ b=7,\ c=8$

Then:

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{7^2-4(1)(8)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{49-32}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-7\±\sqrt{17}}{2}$

$x_1=\frac{-7+\sqrt{17}}{2}$

$x_2=\frac{-7-\sqrt{17}}{2}$
