Answer is.. 144.
2 x 4 = 8
9 x 8 = 72
72 x 2 = 144
Answer:
No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
We try to solve the equation first.
2x + 2 = x + 1
We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.
Subtract x from both sides.
x + 2 = 1
Subtract 2 from both sides.
x = -1
Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.
2x + 2 = x + 1
2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1
-2 + 2 = 0
0 = 0
0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.
Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.
For x y chart 19.36.2.27.13
X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
