Answer:

-6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-8=4(x+1)

Distribute

2x -8 = 4x+4

Subtract 2x

2x-8-2x = 4x-2x+4

-8 = 2x+4

Subtract 4

-8-4 = 2x+4-4

-12 = 2x

Divide by 2

-12/2 = 2x/2

-6 = x

Answer:

$x = - 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - 8 = 4(x + 1) \\ 2x - 8 = 4x + 4 \\ 2x - 4x = 8 + 4 \\ - 2x = 12 \\ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{12}{ - 2} \\ x = - 6$

hope this helps

Answer:

missing side = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras theorem,

30² + 40² = (missing side)²

900 + 1600 = (missing side)²

(missing side)² = 2500

missing side = √2500

missing side = 50

Please help me if you can, thank you!

The discount was
15%×$275 = $41.25
so the price at which the system was sold was
$275.00 - 41.25 = $233.75

The sales person receives 2% of this, or
2%×$233.75 ≈ $4.68

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph? f(x)=______________

Katen [24]

The linear function equation represented by the graph is $\boxed{y = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1}.$

Further explanation:

The linear equation with slope $m$ and intercept $c$ is given as follows.

$\boxed{y = mx + c}$

The formula for slope of line with points $\left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right)$ and $\left( {{x_2},{y_2}} \right)$ can be expressed as,

$\boxed{m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}}$

Given:

Explanation:

From the graph it has been observed that the line passes through the points $\left( {0,1} \right)$ and $\left( {2,0} \right).$

The line intersect y-axis at $\left( {0,1} \right).$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 1.

The line the line passes through the points $\left( {0,1} \right)$ and $\left( {2,0} \right).$

The slope can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{0 - 1}}{{2 - 0}}\\&= \frac{{ - 1}}{2}\\\end{aligned}$

The slope of the line is $- \dfrac{1}{2}.$

Substitute $- \dfrac{1}{2}$ for m and 1 for c in equation $y = mx + c$ to obtain the equation of the line.

$y = - \dfrac{1}{2}x + 1$

The linear function equation represented by the graph is $\boxed{y = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1}.$
