–3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4

2 answers:

4 0

Alright so I will solve and explain as I go :)

First, let's combine like terms.

-3x + 1 + 10x = x + 4
7x + 1 = x + 4

Now, subtract the one from the left. (we do this to combine terms)

7x + 1 = x+ 4
7x = x + 3

Now subtract the x from the right. (this is also to combine terms)

7x = x + 3
6x = 3

Finally, divide by 6 on both sides.

6x = 3
x = 1/2 or 0.5

Hope this helps!

What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)2 = b as a result of completing the square for the following

skelet666 [1.2K]

For this case we have the following expression:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10 = 4x + 10$

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-4x + 10-4x = 4x + 10-4x\\x ^ 2-8x + 10 = 10$

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

$x ^ 2-8x + 10-10 = 10-10\\x ^ 2-8x = 0$

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ , if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c-c = -c\\ax ^ 2 + bx = -c$

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation: $(\frac{b}{2})^{2}$

So, we have left:

$ax^2+bx + (\frac {b} {2})^{2} = - c + (\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2}$

In the given expression we have:

$a = 1\\b = -8\\c = 0$

And to complete the square we have:

$(\frac {b} {2}) ^ {2} = (\frac {-8} {2}) ^ {2} = 16$

Rewriting we have:

$x ^ 2-8x + 16 = 16$

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

$-4-4 = -8\\-4 * -4 = 16$

So, we have:

$(x-4) (x-4) = 16\\(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares

$(x-4) ^ 2 = 16$

Be Precise What is the difference between a terminating decimal and a repeating <br> decimal?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Terminating decimals have a finite number of digits after the decimal point. Repeating decimals have one or more repeating numbers or sequences of numbers after the decimal point, which continue infinitely.

Write an equation for the line that passes through (-1,4) with a slope of -10

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

y = - 10x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here slope m = - 10, hence

y = - 10x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 10 = - 6

y = - 10x - 6 ← equation of line
