Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(x-7)=2(x+3)\\\\4x-28=2x+6\\\\4x-28+28=2x+6+28\\\\4x=2x+34\\\\4x-2x=2x-2x+34\\\\2x=34\\\\\frac{2x=34}{2}\\\\ \boxed{x=17}$

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−7)=2(x+3)

4x+−28=2x+6

4x−28=2x+6

Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x−28−2x=2x+6−2x

x−28=6

Add 28 to both sides.

2x−28+28=6+28

2x=34

Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 34/2

x = 17

Three roots of a fifth degree polynomial function f(x) are -2, 2, and 4 + i. Which statement describes the number and nature of

Juli2301 [7.4K]

We know that imaginary roots always come in pairs, so we already know 4 solutions

-2, 2, 4 + i and a pair of 4 + i

Since imaginary roots always come in pairs we wont have more than 2 imaginary roots, since its a fifth degree root and we can only have 5 roots

So for sure, we will have 3 real roots and 2 imaginary roots

Last option, f(x) has three real roots and two imaginary roots

Plz look at pic !!!! Plz Help!!! <br> Use proportion to solve

Answer:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is simply asking for the number of miles per gallon . In math, <em>per</em> means this is meant to be written as a fraction.

"If a trip of 270 miles required 18 gallons of gas" is actually saying "270 miles per 18 gallons." This can be written as a fraction like so: 270/18.

If we're looking for the amount of gas used for a 400 mile trip, we have the fraction: 400/g, g being the amount of gallons it took to make that trip.

Now we can set up the proportion: $\frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}$

Cross multiply and solve accordingly.

$\frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}$

400 $270g = 400 *18\\ 270g = 7200\\g=26\frac{2}{3}$ /g

So the answer is:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.
