Solve for x:

4x - 7 = 3

Add 7 to both sides

4x = 10

Divide both sides by 4

x = 10/4

Simplify:

x = 5/2

Answer for question 1: x = 5/2

13 + 2x/3 = 15

Multiply both sides by 3

39 + 2x = 45

Subtract 39 from both sides

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2

x = 3

Answer for question 2: x = 3

10x + 7 = 15

Subtract 7 from both sides

10x = 8

Divide both sides by 10

x = 8/10

Simplify

x = 4/5

Answer for question 3: x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the value of x.

1.) 4x - 7 = 3

Add the like terms

4x = 3 + 7

Subtract 7 from each section

4x - 7 = 3

4x = 3 + 7

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

2.) 13 + 2x/3 = 15

(39 + 2x)/3 = 15

39 + 2x = 15 × 3

39 + 2x = 45

Subtract 45 from each term.

39 - 45 + 2x = 45 - 45

- 6 + 2x = 0

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3

3.) 10x + 7 = 15

Subtract 15 from each terms

10x + 7 - 15 = 15 - 15

10x - 8 = 0

10x = 8

x = 8/10

x = 4/5

A group of twelve friends went bowling. The regular price was $8.00. The bowling alley offered a discount price of $6.00 to coll

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = friends that paid discount price

y = friends that paid regular price

x + y = 12 (1)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

From (1)

x = 12 - y

Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

6(12 - y) + 8y = 80

72 - 6y + 8y = 80

- 6y + 8y = 80 - 72

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (1)

x + y = 12 (1)

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 - 4

x = 8

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

Caroline puts $400 into a savings account that earns 6% annually. Write a function that represents this situation, where t is th

DaniilM [7]

Answer: 19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount invested $\$400$

Rate of interest $R=6\%$

after 1-year amount becomes

$A=400\left (1+6\%\right)\\A=400\left (1+0.06\right)\\A=400\times 1.06\\A=\$424$

After n years it is

$A=400\left (1.06\right)^n$

Sum accumulated is $\$1200$

$\Rightarrow 1200=400\left(1.06\right)^n\\\Rightarrow 3=\left(1.06\right)^n\\\text{Taking log both sides}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{\ln 3}{\ln 1.06}\\\\\Rightarrow n=18.85\approx 19\ \text{years}$

Using a sheet of graph paper, solve the following system of equations graphically. Be sure to show any work, use a straight edge

madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system is

$\left \{ {{x+y=0} \atop {x-y+2=0}} \right.$

If we graph, the solution would be the interception point between these two lines, because each linear equation represents a line. The lines are attached.

In the graph, you can observe that the solution is the point (-1,1), that is x = -1 and y = 1.

Now, if we want to solve this system by another method, we can just sum both equations and solve for <em>x</em>

$\left \{ {{x+y=0} \atop {x-y+2=0}} \right.$

$2x+2=0\\x=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$
