Answer:

x =  2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5[3(x + 4) − 2(1 − x)] − x − 15 = 14x + 55

5[3x + 12 - 2 + 2x] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

5[5x + 10] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

25x + 50  - x - 15 = 14x + 55     Now we subtract 14x from both sides:

25x + 50  - x - 15  - 14x = 14x - 14x + 55

10x + 50 - 15 = 55 Now we subtract  50, add 15 to both sides:

10x + 50 - 50 - 15 + 15 = 55 - 50 + 15    

10x =  20

x = 2.

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

81^{x+1}+3^{4x}=246

81=3^4

Rewrite equation: 3^{4\left(x+1\right)}+3^{4x}=246

3^{4\left(x+1\right)}=3^{4x}\times 3^4

3^{4x}\times 3^4+3^{4x}=246

Factor out 3^{4x}:

3^{4x}\left(3^4+1\right)=246

Divide both sides by (3^4+1):

\frac{3^{4x}\left(3^4+1\right)}{3^4+1}=\frac{246}{3^4+1}

3^{4x}=\frac{246}{3^4+1}

3^{4x}=\frac{246}{82}

3^{4x}=3

Anything to the power of 1 is itself. Hence,

4x=1\\

x=\frac{1}{4}

The price of a stock had a change of –3 dollars. explain how you would use a number line to find the absolute value of –3.
Naya [18.7K]
Draw out a horizontal line. Place 0 at the center. Then place evenly spaced tick marks on either side of 0. Label the right side of tick marks as 1, 2, 3, ... moving from 0 and going to the right

Label the left side of tick marks -1, -2, -3, ... starting at 0 and moving left

The location -3 on the number line is exactly 3 units away from 0. We start at 0 and move to -3 by moving 3 spots to the left; or we start at -3 and move 3 units to the right to get to 0.

Therefore, the absolute value of -3 is 3
Absolute value on a number line is the distance a number is from 0
The distance is never negative
