Justify means plug answer in and verify

so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x

143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x

justify

plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143

true

x=-2

Question below. Please answer it, its math.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

- 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is simplify the expression -

\frac{3}{5}( 2x + 5 ) - 2x, Distribute the " \frac{3}{5} " to elements within the parenthesis

= \frac{3}{5} * 2x + \frac{3}{5} * 5 - 2x, Focus on simplifying the expression " \frac{3}{5} * 2x + \frac{3}{5} * 5 "

= 2\cdot \frac{3}{5}x+5\cdot \frac{3}{5} - 2x

= \frac{6x}{5}+3 - 2x, Combine fractions

= -\frac{4x}{5} + 3

= -\frac{4}{5}x + 3

So we have our simplified expression "  -\frac{4}{5}x + 3, " with -\frac{4}{5} being the coefficient of x. Our requirements are that this fraction should be expressed as a decimal, so we can simply divide the numerator by the denominator to figure that out,

- 4 / 5 = - 0.8,

Solution = - 0.8

The graph below represents the function f (x)=2x ^2-4x+2
goblinko [34]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum and the x intercept are the same point.

Your answer is the second best answer. The definition of an x intercept is the point on a graph where y = 0. In this case, the graph begins to move in the opposite direction from the direction it was moving.

And so the x intercept just touches the x axis. Good enough. It is still classified as the x intercept because y = 0.

Find the midpoint of the segment joining the points (7,-4) and (9,4).
umka21 [38]
Jus take the average
so
the midpoint of
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
basically average the x and y terms


so
(7,-4) and (9,4)
average of 7 and 9 is 8
average of -4 and 4 is 0
(8,0) is the midpoint
