Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x by isolating the variable.

First, expand the parentheses:

2(x + 1) = 4

2 * x + 2 * 1 = 4

2x + 2 = 4

Then subtract by 2:

2x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2

2x = 2

Finally, divide by 2:

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

Thus, x = 1.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Wellllll....

X = the number to solve the equation to equal 4

2(x +1) = 4

Multiply 2 by x and 1 by x

2x +2 = 4

Solve!

2x = 4-2

2x = 2

x = 1

Hope this works!

Answer:

y = x/4 -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

given coordinates : ( -2, -1 ) and ( 2 , 0 )

gradient = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= 0 - -1 / 2 - -2

= 1/4

equation of line:

y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

y - 0 = 1/4 ( x - 2 )

y = x/4 -1/2

What is the smallest of 3 consecutive positive integers if the product of the smaller two integers is 5 less than 5 times the la

olga55 [171]

Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2

now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5

thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"

Find the vertical asymptote. y = x - 1 / x + 4

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = $\frac{x-1}{x+4}$

The denominator of y cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Thus the vertical asymptote is x = - 4

the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.

timurjin [86]

To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.
