Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as 4x - 6 = 2

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

4x = 2 + 6

Add 2 and 6.

4x = 8

Divide each term by 4 and simplify.

Divide each term in 4x = 8 by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{8}{4}$

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

$x=\frac{8}{4}$

Divide 8 by 4.

x = 2

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Time taken by his friend to create the app alone = 48 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hours needed by Jacob to create an app = 24 hours

$\text{One hour work of Jacob = }\frac{1}{24}$

Let hours needed by his friend in creating the app alone = x hours

$\text{So, one hour work of his friend = }\frac{1}{x}$

The both can create the app in 16 hours.

$\implies \frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{16}\\\\\implies\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{16}-\frac{1}{24}\\\\\implies\frac{1}{x}=\frac{24-16}{24\times 16}\\\\\implies \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{48}\\\\\bf\implies x = 48$

Hence, Time taken by his friend to create the app alone = 48 hours.

The strings cost $14. you would take the total cost ($72) and subtract the cost of the book ($16) and you would get $56. you would then divide 56 by the number of book bought (4 in all) and you would get $14.
