Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
parentheses first then multiply by 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One-fourth x + 2 = 
Next, we Expand the Left hand Side by multiplying each term in the bracket by 1/4
Bringing terms with x to the left Hand Side i.e. collecting like terms
On Cross multiplying
7x = -7 X 8
x=-8
Answer:
3. 16
Explanation:
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
Answer: B) Infinitely many solutions; both equations are equivalent
==============================================================
Work Shown:
x+y = 4 ... start with the first equation
x + (-x+4) = 4 ... replace y with (-x+4)
x-x+4 = 4
0x+4 = 4
0+4 = 4
4 = 4 ... this is a true statement regardless of what x you pick
So there are infinitely many solutions. Each solution (x,y) is of the form (x,-x+4). All solutions fall on the line y = -x+4 which is equivalent to x+y = 4. Note how we add x to both sides.
Or you could start with x+y = 4 and subtract x from both sides to get y = -x+4. Either way, we're dealing with the same equation which is why they both graph out the same line.
Use slope formula:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
-1/4 = 6-2 / 1/2 - x
-1/4 = 4 / 1/2 - x
-1(1/2 - x) = 4(4)
-1/2 + x = 16
x = 16 1/2 or 33/2
