Hello there

the answer your looking for is x=2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−8=−7(−4x+8)+8(x−3)

−8=(−7)(−4x)+(−7)(8)+(8)(x)+(8)(−3)(Distribute)

−8=28x+−56+8x+−24

−8=(28x+8x)+(−56+−24)(Combine Like Terms)

−8=36x+−80

−8=36x−80

Step 2: Flip the equation.

36x−80=−8

Step 3: Add 80 to both sides.

36x−80+80=−8+80

36x=72

Step 4: Divide both sides by 36.

36x

36

=

72

36

x=2

thank you

First   expand the parentheses using the distributive law:-

-8 = 28x - 56 + 8x - 24

36x - 80 = -8

36x = 72

x = 2  is the answer

(2, –2), slope is 1.4
DaniilM [7]

y = 1.4x - 4.8

the equation of a line in ' slope - intercept form ' is

y = mx + c  ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

the partial equation is y = 1.4x + c

to find c, substitute (2, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 2.8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 2.8 = - 4.8

y = 1.4x - 4.8 is the equation in slope- intercept form

For the pair of functions f and g determine the domain of f o g
skelet666 [1.2K]
When taking the composite of two functions, the resulting domain is the more restrictive of the two original domains. g(x) has a domain of all real numbers, but f(x) has a domain of x=/= 2. So, the domain of f(g(x)) is x=/= 2

The equation would be
g + (g + 9) = 45
2g + 9 = 45
- 9
2g = 36
÷ 2
g = 18
18 + 9 = 27
Girls: 18
Boys: 27
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
