Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

120(2x - 2)=240

multiply 120, by 2x

(240x)

we cant forget the second one, so again, multiply 120, by -2

you get - 240

so now, 240x-240=240

add 240 to the other side

-240+240=0

other side

240+240=480

so, 240x=480

divide by 240 on each side

x=2

Hope this helps, have a nice day!

Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.

2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3

now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
        -42          -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3

now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6

solution is (6,3)

it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)

so yes, ur solution is (6,3)

Which describes the graph of mc014-1.jpg on [0, 3)? The steps are at –2 from 0 to 1, at –1 from 1 to 2, and at 0 from 2 to 3. Th
Strike441 [17]
1) The graph consists of three horizontal segments, with discontinuities (jumps) at x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3. 
A horizontal segment at y = - 2 for the values x = 0 to 1.
A horizontal segment at y = - 1 for values x = 1 to 2
A horizontal segment at y = 0 for values x - 2 to 3.


2) To know whether the end points of a segment are defined by the left or the right values you have to look for the circle at the extreme of the segment: if it is a solid dot, means that the end is included, if is is an open circle (white inside) then the end is not included in that segment.

3)  That function is based on the function named integer part because if relates y with the integer part of x.

The integer value function is [x] and it makes correspond y values witht he integer values of x.:

y = 0 witht the integer value of x for x between 0 and 1, excluding 1.

y = 1 with the integer value of x between 1 and 2 (excluding 2)

y = 2 with the integer value of x between 2 and 3 (excluding 3)
y = 3 with the integer value of x between 3 and 4 (excluding 4)

But our function is two units below, so it is [x] - 2
