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

What must be true for lines a and b to be parallel lines? Check all that apply.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a║b  and d and c be transversal , We have to find the value of x and measure of angle 1 and 2.

Since, a║b  and d be a transversal  then ,

∠BXZ = ∠AZP = 58° ( corresponding angles )

Thus, m∠2 = 58°

∠BYC = ∠XYZ = (4X-10)° (vertically opposite angles)

Since, a║b  and c be a transversal  then,

  ∠XYZ = ∠QZU = (4X-10)°  (Corresponding angles)

Thus, m∠1 =  (4X-10)°

Also, Since, 'a' is a straight line.

Sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

⇒ ∠PZA + ∠PZQ + ∠QZU = 180°

⇒ 58° +(3X-1)°+(4X-10)° = 180°

⇒ 58° + 7x - 11 = 180°

⇒ 47° + 7x  = 180°

⇒  7x  = 180°- 47°

⇒  7x  = 133°

⇒  x  = 19°

Put x = 19 in (3X-1)° and (4X-10)° , we get

(3X-1)° = (3(19)-1)° = 56°

(4X-10)° = (4(19)-10)°= 66

Thus, (3X-1)° ≠ (4X-10)°

Thus, option (1), (2) , (7) and (8) is correct.

Which equation represents a proportional relationship?
iren2701 [21]
The equation that represents a proportional relationship is:

y = 32x

Because:

y/x = 32

So that implies that y is directly proportional to x.

Note that other equations represent a proportional relationship in some form, only that the relationship y = 32x is the only direct proportional relationship.

Helppppppp pleaseeee find the value of x. Step by step please
Artist 52 [7]
Wouldn’t you add both of the equations together and set them equal to 180 and whatever you get for x just plug back in to find the values of the angles??

Question 1

The salesperson would earn $800 as gross base paycheck

How many hours of did the salesperson achieve?

The salesperson only worked 40 hours of normal time and there is no overtime, which means that the hourly rate remains $10.00 base salary

In other words, in determining the biweekly pay of the salesperson, we would consider the number of hours in a week, the number of weeks payment is made for and the hourly rate

biweekly gross paycheck=number of weeks*hours per week* hourly rate

number of weeks=2

hours per week=40

hourly rate=$10.00

biweekly gross paycheck=2*40*$10.00

biweekly gross paycheck=$800.00

The biweekly gross paycheck of the sales person is $800,option is the most appropriate
