The value of x is option B) 6.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given equation is -162=-3+4(6 - 7x).

You can see the bracket on the right of the equation. To remove the bracket, we must use the distributive property.

The distributive property is to multiply the number outside the bracket with each term present inside the bracket.

Here, the number outside the bracket is 4 ans we have to multiply it with 6 and -7x which are inside the bracket.

The simplified form is,

⇒ -162 = -3 + 24 - 28x

Keep x term alone on one side and bring all the constant terms to the other side of the equation.

⇒ -162 = 21 -28x

⇒ 28x = 21+162

⇒ 28x = 183

Divide by 28,

⇒ x = 183/28

⇒ x = 6.5

x can be approximated to 6 which is option B)

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

What is 9.1 less than a number is less than 4.6 equals?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

n > 13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing a symbolic statement, we get:

n - 9.1 < 4.6

Multiplying all three terms by 10 removes fractions:

10n - 91 > 46

Adding 91 to both sides isolates the 10n term:

10n > 46 + 91, or   10n > 137

Then n > 137/10, or n > 13.7

To determine the minimum of an equation, we derive the <span>equation using differential calculus twice (or simply </span><span>take the second derivative of the function). If the </span><span>second derivative is greater than 0, then it is minimum; </span><span>else, if it is less than 1, the function contains the </span><span>maximum. If the second derivative is zero, then the </span><span>inflection point </span><span>is</span><span> identified.</span>
