8x –3(5x–2)=7–10x Solve this equation with a clear value for x

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x –3(5x–2)=7–10x

Distribute

8x - 15x +6 = 7-10x

Combine like terms

-7x + 6 = 7- 10x

Add 10x to each side

-7x +10x+ 6 = 7- 10x+10x

3x+6 = 7

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 =7-6

3x = 1

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 1/3

x = 1/3

Answer: x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Start by changing the -3 to plus a negative 3 so you know that you are distributing a -3 through the parentheses.

-3(5x) is -15x and -3(-2) is 6.

So we have 8x - 15x + 6 = 7 - 10x.

Simplifying the left side further gives us -7x + 6 = 7 - 10x.

Now subtract 6 from both sides to get -7x = 1 - 10x.

Now add 10x to both sides to get 3x = 1.

From here it should be easy to find that <em>x = 1/3</em>.

Explain how to estimate the quotient using compatible numbers. 27 and two-thirds divided by 3 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFra
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The first fraction is between 27 and 28, closer to 28. The second fraction is between 3 and 4, closer to 4. Compatible numbers in division are numbers that can be divided mentally. 28 divided by 4 is 7. The quotient will be around 7.

The graph below represents which system of inequalities? graph of two infinite lines that intersect at a point. One line is soli
stiks02 [169]
The first line through points (-3, 0) and (-4, -1) is the orange line.

The second line, through (1, 1) and (2, -1) is the purple line.

Since they are both shaded below, the intersection of the shaded regions, is the region colored in blue.

Both lines are included, since they are solid lines.



The equation of the first line can be found as follows:

the slope is \frac{0-(-1)}{-3-(-4)}=\frac{1}{1}=1, thus, the equation is:
y-0=1(x-(-4))\\\\y=x+4


The equation of the second line can be found as follows:

the slope is \frac{1-(-1)}{1-2}= \frac{2}{-1}=-2, 

thus the equation of the second line is :


y-1=-2(x-1)\\\\y-1=-2x+2\\\\y=-2x+3


We have to decide on the direction of the inequality sign, so we pick a point, for example (0, 4) which is not in the colored regions of the lines, 

so we write the inequalities so that they do not hold for (0, 4)


line 1:

y≥x+4

4≥0+4=4 is true, so we change the sign and write : y≤x+4


similarly, line 2:

y≤-2x+3

4≤-2*0+3=3, which is not true, so we have the correct direction.


Note that since the lines were solid, we include the equality case:


Answer: 

the shaded region is the solution to the system of inequalities:

i) y≤x+4
ii) y≤-2x+3
