6(x+7)+4=-8(x-5)-2 solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=-4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation as

6(x+7)+4=-8(x-5)-2

and asked to solve for x

Simplify to get

Distribute 6 over x+7 and on right side -8 over x-5

6x+42+4 = -8x+40-2

Take -8x to left side to become +8x and 46 to right side to become -46

Grouping like terms

14x = 38-46 = -8

Divide by 14

x = -8/14 = -4/7

Since this is an equation, we get a single value for x

and answer is -4/7

<h3>Answer: B) 6</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Add the equations by adding the terms straight down.

The x terms add to x+x = 2x.

The y terms add to y+(-y) = y-y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go away

The constants add to 5+7 = 12

The z terms add to -z+z = 0z = 0 and those go away as well

After all that adding, we have 2x = 12 which solves to x = 6 after dividing both sides by 2.

Solve systems of equations for x + y, please!!<br><br> 6x + 2y = 30<br> 9x - 4y = 3
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y = 30

9x - 4y = 3

if we double the first equation and add up to second one, we cancel 4y:

  • 12x+9x=60+3 ⇒ 21x=63 ⇒ x=3

now we can find y:

  • 6*3+2y=30 ⇒ 2y= 30- 18 ⇒ 2y= 12 ⇒ y=6

finally, x+y

  • x+y= 3+6= 9

PLEASE HELP circle a has area 500in squared. the diameter of circle b is three times the diameter of circle a. esitmate the area
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r and d are the radius and diameter of a, respectively.

area of a = πr² = 500 in²

r = √500/√π = 10√5/√π

d = 20√5/√π

radius of b = 3r = 30√5/√π

area of b = π(30√5/√π)² = π(4500/π) = 4500 in²
