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

0.8 means 80% of the previous which is a decay of 100 - 80 = 20%

50(0.8^x)

50(0.8²)

= 32

25-3x-2-4x+5 has how many coefficients and how many expressions
adoni [48]

Answer:

This expression has 2 coefficients, (-3 and -4), because any number with a variable is a coefficient. That means 25, -2, and 5 are all constants, because they don't have variables.

Variables are the x's in this case.

I hope this answers your question :) Also if you like, can you mark me brainliest, please? It would really mean a lot to me :)
