Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation which are the x's.

10x - 7x = 3x so we now have the equation 3x = 12.

Now to solve for <em>x</em>, we want to get <em>x</em> by itself on the left side of the equation. Since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 3, to get <em>x</em> by itself, we need to divide by 3 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 3 on the left side, we must also divide by 3 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 4's cancel out so we're simply left with <em>x</em>. On the right side we have 12 divided by 3 which is 4 so x = 4.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 4 back into the original equation.

So we have 10(4) - 7(4) = 12 or 40 - 28 = 12 or 12 = 12.

Since this a true statement, we know our answer is correct.

Remember to show all your work when solving equations.

Prove that at a party where some people shake hands, the number of people who shake hands with an odd number of people is an eve
Kobotan [32]
If there are n people, each person could shake hands with 0 people, 1 person, 2 people,... on up to shaking hands with n − 1
people. Count how many different answers there are to asking the person the question "How many hands did you shake?" How many people are there? If the people are the pigeons, and the possible answers to the question "how many hands did you shake" are the holes, can we conclude anything yet? No? How about now noticing that at least one of the holes "I shook hands with noone" or "I shook hands with everyone" has to be empty... now what?

"Since there are more pigeons than holes there must be a hole with at least two pigeons in the same hole" Now, replace the word "pigeons" and "holes" with the appropriate terms for the context of your specific question, remember we are talking about people and number of handshakes they participated in.

Explain the steps necessary to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to illustrate the method:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10

First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:

= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10

Now  divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form

(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2  (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.

= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x  + 1^2  and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)

= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10

= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10

= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.

In general form the vertex form of:

ax^2 + bx + c  = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .

This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.
