Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:

4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.

And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.

Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.

Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.

[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]

12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13

Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.

x = 1

C is 0, since only multiplied by 0 will get 0, and the question defined that a and b not 0, so only c is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = 5,

y = 5 + 1 = 6

graph the solution to the following system of inequalities y<-2x+7, y greater than or equal to 2x - 3

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

See attached diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the solution of the inequality $y$ First, draw the dotted line $y=-2x+7$ (dotted because the sign of the inequality is <). Then determine wich part of the coordinate plane should be shaded. Since the origin's coordinates satisfy the inequality, then this point should belong to the region (red part on the diagram).

Graph the solution of the inequality $y\ge 2x-3.$ First, draw the solid line $y=2x-3$ (solid because the sign of the inequality is ≥). Then determine wich part of the coordinate plane should be shaded. Since the origin's coordinates satisfy the inequality, then this point should belong to the region (blue part on the diagram).
