Hi there!

To solve this equation, I first would like to warn you about the long answer I am about to post for you. I'll be putting in very detailed steps for you, showing you how to simplify and distribute numbers, etc. :)

Let us solve your equation step-by-step.

Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation.

To simplify this, we will...

4 + (-2) (x) + (-2) (7) = (3) (x) + (3) (5)

4 + - 2x + - 14 = 3x + 15

(-2x) + (4 + - 14) = 3x + 15

Now, we combine Like Terms...

-2x + - 10 = 3x + 15

-2x - 10 = 3x + 15

Fwew! That was probably going to be the longest step here!

Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides.

- 2x - 10 - 3x = 3x + 15 - 3x

- 5x - 10 = 15

Step 3) Add 10 to both sides.

- 5x - 10 + 10 = 15 + 10

- 5x = 25

Step 4) Divide both sides by -5.

-5x/-5 = 25/-5

So, our final answer is x = -5.

Hope this helps!

Message me if you need anything else! I'd be happy to help! :D

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)
4-2x-14=3x+15
2x-3x=15-4+14
-x=15
(x=-15)

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^xy=ab x that goes through points (0, 20)(0,20) and (6, 1280)(6,1280).

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

$y=20(2)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write an exponential function that goes through the points (0, 20) and (6, 1280).

The standard exponential function is given by:

$y=ab^x$

The point (0, 20) tells us that y = 20 when x = 0. Hence:

$20=a(b)^0$

Simplify:

$20=a(1)\Rightarrow a=20$

So, our exponential function is now:

$y=20(b)^x$

Next, the point (6, 1280) tells us that y = 1280 when x = 6. Thus:

$1280=20(b)^6$

Solve for b. Divide both sides by 20:

$64=b^6$

Therefore:

$b=\sqrt[6]{64}=2$

Hence, our function is:

$y=20(2)^x$

PLEASE HELP ME!! Find the measure of angle A: Find the measure of angle B:

g100num [7]

Answer:

Measure of angle A is 65 degrees and measure of angle B is 37 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: First add all of the degrees of excluding x (4+(-9)) which is -5. Then subtract that from 180 since that is the sum of all the angles in a triangle which gives you 185. Then divide it by the number of "x's" that there are which is 5 which gives you 37. So angle B is x which is 37 degrees and angle a is 2(37)-9 which is 65 degrees. Hope this helps.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a^3b + 2a^2b^2 + ab^3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2

= a^2 + 2ab + b^2

ab(a^2 + 2ab + b^2)

= a^3b + 2a^2b^2 + ab^3

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 2x-7y=9 and passes through the point

almond37 [142]

Answer:

e. 2x - 7y = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want a line parallel to the equation, the line must have the same slope.

2x - 7y = 9

-7y = -2x + 9

y = 2/7x - 9/7

You are looking for a line where the slope is 2/7.

a. Slope is 7/2.

b. Slope is -7/2.

c. Slope is 7/2.

d. Slope is...

y + 2 = 3/4x + 3

y = 3/4x + 1

Slope is 3/4.

e. Slope is -2/-7, which is 2/7. Just make sure to check whether it passes through (5, -3) by substituting those points into the equation.

2 * 5 - 7 * -3 = 31

10 --21 = 31

10 + 21 = 31

And there's your answer: e.

Hope this helps!
