Question 3 :-7(x - 4) = -7x + 28​

Hello there :)

So to solve this equation the first thing you want to do is use distributive property on the left side of the equal sign.

-7(x - 4)

-7 × (x) = -7x

-7 × -4= 28

Once we do that we have our new equation

-7x+28 = -7x+28

now this is where it gets tricky since they are the same equation on both sides. What you want to do next is add 7x to both sides.

-7x+28 = -7x+28

+7x          +7x

     28=28

Since  28=28, the equation will always be true for any value of  x.

All real numbers or (−∞,∞)

Answer:

x = x

True

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the -7 by multiplying it by everything inside of the parenthesis.

-7 * x = -7x

-7 * -4 = 28

Now, put it together.

-7x + 28 = -7x + 28

We can already tell the the statement is x = x, which is true, but let's solve it just to make sure.

Isolate the x.

Subtract 28 from each side.

-7x + 28 = -7x + 28

-28                    -28

Simplify it.

Divide each side by -7.

-7x = -7x

-----   -----

-7      -7

x = x

This is true

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The length of the strip of fabric is 32 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The length of the edges of the square pillow should be 8 inches.

She needs a strip of fabric four times as long as one of the pillow to make a border around the pillow.

The length of the strip of fabric = 4×8 inches

The length of the strip of fabric = 32 inches

Hence, the length of the strip of fabric is 32 inches.

Find the zeroes of the following equation:
weqwewe [10]

Answer:  \bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}

                both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}
