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

The sum of 8 and B is greater than 22
Alinara [238K]

Given:

The sum of 8 and B is greater than 22.

To find:

The inequality for the given statement and its solution.

Solution:

We know that, sum of two number is the addition of two numbers.

Sum of 8 and B = 8+B

It is given that, the sum of 8 and B is greater than 22.

8+B>22

Subtracting 8 from both sides, we get

8+B-8>22-8

B>14

Therefore, the required inequality for the given statement is 8+B>22 and the solution is B>14.

Elza [17]
Not sure I'm right but:

If the bar weighs 9.25 ounces and 65% of the bar is gold, you'd do 65% of 9.25. So the answer would be <span>65% of 9.25= 6.0125</span>

The quantities x and y are proportional.<br>pls help plsssss this work is due 20 min plsss helppp
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = rx

substitute numbers in and solve for r

if

y = 10

x = 4

then

10 = r4

r = 10/4 = 2.5

this works for all the other numbers and always gives r = 2.5
