7x + 3(x - 2) - 4x + 8

First, gather like terms. / Your problem should look like: (7x - 4x) + 3(x - 2) + 8
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 3x + 3 (x - 2) + 8
Third, expand. / Your problem should look like: 3x + 3x - 6 + 8
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 6x - 6 + 8
Fifth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 6x + 2

Answer: 6x + 2

What's the value of x? (Hint: it's not 7) and please explain
tekilochka [14]

Hey there!

4x + 7 + 35 = 90°

4x + 42 = 90°

SUBTRACT 42 to BOTH SIDES

4x + 42 - 42 = 90 - 42

CANCEL out: 42 - 42 because it give you 0.

KEEP: 90 - 42 because it help solve for the x-value.

NEW EQUATION: 4x = 90 - 42

SIMPLIFY IT!
4x = 48°

DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES

4x/4 = 48/4

CANCEL out: 4/4 because it give you 1

KEEP: 48/4 because it give you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 48/4

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 12

Therefore, your answer is: x = 12


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

A circle has a diameter of 14 feet. What is the circumference of the circle? Use 3:14 for pie.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Circumference= 43.96 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the circle= 14 feet

Radius of the circle= 14/2= 7 feet

Circumference of the circle= 2\pi r

As, \pi =\frac{22}{7}=3.14

Circumference:

                          =2*3.14*7\\\\=3.14*14\\\\=43.96feet

The circumference of the circle with the radius= 7 feet is 43.96 feet

The diagonals of a quadrilateral QRST intersect at P(-1,3). QRST has vertices at Q(3,6) and R(-4,5). What must be the coordinate
erica [24]

S = (-5,0)

T = (2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Q = (3,6) and R = (-4,5). P = (-1,3)

Let S be (a,b) and T be (c,d)

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. so in order to ensure that QRST is a parallelogram, P must be the mid point of the diagonals QS and RT.

Step 2 :

P is the midpoint  of QS

So we have (3+a) ÷ 2 =  -1  and (6 + b) ÷ 2 = 3

=> 3 + a = -2    and 6 + b = 6

=> a = -5  and b =0

So S should be (-5,0)

Step 3 :

P is the midpoint  of RT

So we have (-4+c) ÷ 2 =  -1  and (5 + d) ÷ 2 = 3

=> -4+ c = -2    and 5 + d = 6

=> c = 2  and d =1

So T should be (2,1)

Step 4 :

Answer :

S = (-5,0)

T = (2,1)
