Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4x + 24x - 2 = 7(4x +2)

First step is to expand the parenthesis on the left hand side by multiplying each term inside the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis. It becomes

4x + 24x - 2 = 28x + 14

Collecting like terms such that the terms containing x will be on the lefthand side and constant terms will be on the right hand side, it becomes

28x - 28x = 14 + 2

0 = 16

0 cannot be equal to 16. Therefore, there is no solution.

The likely error of my friend was

28x - 28x = x

Find two positive fractions with a quotient of 5/6
hichkok12 [17]
Alright, so if we divide fractions we get
(x/y)/(a/b)= (x/y)*(b/a). If the x is 5 and the a is 6, as well as y and b being the same therefore cancelling out, we can write it easily. For example, we can write (5/100)/(6/100) or (5/60)/(6/60)

Choose all of the expressions that are equal to −9. |−9| −(−9) −|−9| −|9| the distance from zero to nine the opposite of nine
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

<h2>|−9|,  −|−9| and −|9| </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we choose all the expression that is equal to -9, <em>we must understand that the modulus of a value can return both its positive and negative value</em>. For example, Modulus of b can either be +b or -b i.e |b| = +b or -b

Hence the following expression are all equal ro -9

a)  |−9| is equivalent to -9 because the absolute value of -9 i.e |−9| can return both -9 and 9

b)  −|−9| is also equivalent to -9. The modulus of -9 is also equal to 9, hence negating 9 will give us -9. This shows that  −|−9| = −|9| = −9

c)  −|9| is also equivalent to -9. This has been established in b above.

HELP PLEASE asap AND THANKS WILL GIVE BRAILIEST!!! :)
Ivenika [448]

In standard form it would be x + 2y = 8.

x + 2y = 8

2y = -x + 8

y = -1/2x +4
