Simplifying

5(7x + -3) = 230

Reorder the terms:

5(-3 + 7x) = 230

(-3 * 5 + 7x * 5) = 230

(-15 + 35x) = 230

Solving

-15 + 35x = 230

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 35x = 230 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 35x = 230 + 15

35x = 230 + 15

Combine like terms: 230 + 15 = 245

35x = 245

Divide each side by '35'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7

Find the function rule.

Bond [772]

Finally figured it out :D

The function rules is:
y = -5x - 1

9 = -5(-2) - 1
4 = -5(-1) - 1
-1 = -5(0) - 1
-6 = -5(1) - 1
-11 = -5(2) - 1

Add/sub the polynomial <br><br> (1-8x^2+3x)+(1+6x^2+x)

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

-2x² + 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1-8x²+3x)+(1+6x²+x)

= 1 - 8x² + 3x + 1 + 6x² + x

= -2x² + 4x + 2 [-2(x² - 2 - 1)]

8xy= 2(2x + y) solve for y

STatiana [176]

Answer: $\displaystyle y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}$

============================================

Work Shown:

$8\text{x}y= 2(2\text{x} + y)\\\\8\text{x}y= 4\text{x} + 2y\\\\8\text{x}y - 2y= 4\text{x}\\\\y(8\text{x} - 2)= 4\text{x}\\\\y= \frac{4\text{x}}{8\text{x} - 2}\\\\y= \frac{2*2\text{x}}{2(4\text{x} - 1)}\\\\y= \frac{2\text{x}}{4\text{x} - 1}\\\\$

---------------

Explanation:

The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.

Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)

Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
