x = 13

subtract x from both sides of the equation

6 = 2x - x - 7

6 = x - 7

add 7 to both sides

6 + 7 = x ⇒ x = 13

As a check

substitute this value into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is the solution

left side = 13 + 6 = 19

right side = (2 × 13) - 7 = 26 - 7 = 19

hence x = 13 is the solution

For which of the following inequalities is x≥4 a solution.<br> x+3≥1<br> 3x≥1<br> x-3≥1

pychu [463]

Answer:

x - 3 ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving each of the inequalities

x + 3 ≥ 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x ≥ - 2

3x ≥ 1 ( divide each inequality by 3 )

x ≥ $\frac{1}{3}$

x - 3 ≥ 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x ≥ 4 ← required solution

The sum of 27 and seven times a number is 125. Find the number.

zysi [14]

The number is 14

Here's the solution:

Let the number be x

According to the question,

27+7x=125

//Subtract 27 from both the sides

7x=125-27

7x=98

//divide both the sides by 7

x=98/7

x=14

Write quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and -3 and whose leading coefficient is 4

Mila [183]

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).
