Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2(x+7) = 3(x+5)

4 - 2*x - 2*7 = 3*x + 3*5

4 - 2x - 14 = 3x + 15

4 - 14 - 15 = 3x + 2x

-25 = 5x

x = -25/5

x = -5

Check:

4 - 2(-5+7) = 3(-5+5)

4 - 2*2 = 3(0)

4 - 4 = 0

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)

Distribute

4 -2x-14 = 3x+15

Combine like terms

-2x-10 = 3x+15

Add 2x to each side

-2x-10+2x= 3x+15+2x

-10 = 5x+15

Subtract 15 from each side

-10-15 = 5x+15

-25 = 5x

Divide by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

-5 =x

An equation that represents the path of a diver jumping off a diving board is y = –7x2 + 5x + 16. Graph this function from the p

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that represents the path of a diver jumping off a diving board is

$y = -7x^2 + 5x + 16.$

The diver jumped to the water when x = 0.

Then

$y=-7\cdot 0^2+5\cdot 0+16=16$

The jumper reached the water when y = 0, then

$-7x^2+5x+16=0\\ \\D=5^2-4\cdot (-7)\cdot 16=25+448=473\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{473}}{-14}$

So, point where the jumper reached the water is

$\left(\dfrac{5+\sqrt{473}}{14},0\right)\approx (1.93,0)$

Find the value of x 2+4( 3 + 2x ) = 3x + 8

solniwko [45]

2 + 4(3+2x) = 3x + 8

2 + 12 + 8x = 3x + 8

14 - 8 = 3x - 8x

6 = -5x

x = -6/5
