Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+3x+5=21

First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.

(x+3x) + 5=21

4x + 5=21

5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

4x+5-5= 21-5

4x= 16

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=16/4

x= 16/4

x=4

Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.

x+3x+5=21

4+3(4)+5=21

4+12+5=21

16+5=21

21=21

This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.

x is equal to 4, x=4.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3x + 5 = 21

4x + 5 = 21

4x = 21 - 5

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

verify:

4 + 3*4 + 5 = 21

4 + 12 + 5 = 21

3. Find an equation of a parabola with a vertex at the origin and directrix y = -3.5
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{14}x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The directrix of the parabola is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola

In this problem  the directrix is y=-3.5

so

The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis

we have a vertical parabola

Also, the vertex is at the origin

That means-----> the parabola open upward

The equation of a vertical parabola can be written as

x^2=4py

where

p is the distance between the vertex and the directrix

In this problem

the distance between the vertex and the directrix is 3.5

p=3.5 ----> the value of p is positive because the parabola open upward

substitute

x^2=4(3.5)y

x^2=14y

isolate the variable y

y=\frac{1}{14}x^2
