Hello XD

3(x+2) = 3x+6

Distributive property

(3)(x)+(3)(2) = 3x+6

3x+ 6 = 3x+6

Now subtract 3x from both sides

3x+6-3x = 3x+6-3x

6=6

Subtract 6 from both sides

6-6 = 6-6

0=0

In this case the answer is : All real numbers are solution

Ok so

remember the distributive property

a(b+c)=ab+ac

so
3(x+2)=3x+6
we have
3x+6=3x+6
identical
now watch
minus 3x both sides
6=6
true staement

therefor any number you put for x will work

answer is all real numbers

Which 2 equations would you use to solve this system?

slega [8]

Answer:

x-y=4

and

x+y=32 is your equation

difference of two number =x-y is equal to 4

sum of two number=x+y is equal to 32

x-y=4.......(1)

x+y=32.......(2)

adding equation 1 and 2

x-y +x+y=4+32

2x=36

x=36/2=16answer

substituting value of y in equation 1

16-y=4

16-4=y

y=12 answer

After how many years are the salaries offered by Company A and Company B the same?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24,000 = 24 thousands

30,000 = 30 thousands

3,000 = 3 thousands

2,4000 = 2.4 thousands

"x" years

24 + 3x = 30 + 2.4x

3x - 2.4x = 30 - 24

0.6x = 6

x = 10 years

Find the value of x for which the function below is maximum

timurjin [86]

Answer:

x = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function;

y = 5 + x - x²

To find the maximum value, follow these steps

(i) Find the first derivative (which is the slope) of the given function with respect to x. i.e;

$y^{'}$ = $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{d(5 + x - x^2)}{dx}$

$y^{'}$ = $1 - 2x$

(ii) From the result in (i) determine the value of x for which the slope is zero. i.e.

x for which

1 - 2x = 0

=> 1 = 2x

=> x = $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the value of x for which the function is maximum is $\frac{1}{2}$
