8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.

Answer:  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given statement: 8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number.

then, the required equation :

8(x-6)=4x

Divide both sides by 4 , we gte

\dfrac{8(x-6)}{4}=\dfrac{4x}{4}

Simplify

2(x-6)=x

Multiply 2 inside the parenthesis.

2x-12=x

Subtract x and add 12 on both sides , we gte

2x-x-12+12=x-x+12

Simplify

x=12

Hence, the number is <u>12</u>.

The linear inequality y&lt;-2/3x+2 is graphed. Determine a solution for the inequality. A) (0,2) B) (3,0) C) (0,0) D) (0,3)
jenyasd209 [6]

Hello!

The graph y < -2/3x + 2 has a dotted line. That means that any points on the dotted line or not shaded, is not a solution to this inequality. Since we are given 4 choices, we can substitute those values into the given inequality to see if it is true.

A) (0, 2)

2 < -2/3(0) + 2

2 < 2, this is false.

B) (3, 0)

0 < -2/3(3) + 2

0 < -2 + 2

0 < 0, this is false.

C) (0, 0)

0 < -2/3(0) + 2

0 < 2, this is true.

D). (0, 3)

3 < -2/3(0) + 2

3 < 2, this is false.

To check if choice C) (0, 0) is true, we should look at the given graph.

Since (0, 0) is in the shaded area, and is not graphed on the dotted line, therefore, a solution to this linear inequality is C, (0, 0).

.. pls help me....!!!!! Determine whether the point (-2,4) satisfy y&lt;3x+5,y=3x+5 or y &gt;3x+5..​
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

y > 3\cdot x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(x,y) = (-2,4) and y = 3\cdot x + 5. Now we evaluate the given function at x = -2:

y = 3\cdot x + 5 (1)

y = 3\cdot (-2)+5

y = -6 +5

y = -1

Which means that y is less than the y-component of A. Therefore, the right answer is y > 3\cdot x + 5.

Given the following values for a quadratic function, which is the graph of the function? (–1, 0), (0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 0)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The function of the graph is f(x) = - x² + 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the value of the graph we can say that the the function is negative x² because there are x-intercepts and the y-intercept if above 0.

Using the x-intercepts we can form the function of the graph:

-(x + 1)(x - 3) - we have a negative in front of the two brackets because the function is a negative. Now we multiply out the brackets and the negative at the end:

-(x² - 2x - 3)

- x² + 2x + 3 - So the function of the graph is:

f(x) = - x² + 2x + 3

Match the y-coordinates with their corresponding pairs of x-coordinates on the unit circle. the x coordinates to choose from are
vaieri [72.5K]
Of the four x-coordinates to choose only 1/√(11) belongs can belong to the unit circle.

The other three x-coordinates are greater than 1, then they are out of the unit circle.

The unit circle formula is x^2 +y^2 = 1

Then to find the y-coordinate given the x-coordinate you can solve for y from that formula:

y^2 = 1 - x^2

y = (+/-)√(1-x^2)

Substitute the value of x

y = (+/-)√{1 - [1/√(11)]^2} = (+/-) √{(1 - 1/11} =(+/-) √ {(11 -1)/11 =(+/-)√(10/11) ≈ +/- 0.95
