Answer:

X=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x−3)−8=4+2x

2)(4x)+(2)(−3)+−8=4+2x

8x+−6+−8=4+2x

8x−14=2x+4

8x−14−2x=2x+4−2x

6x−14=4

6x−14+14=4+14

6x=18

x=3

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication. We get

8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x

Combining the x terms results in:

6x - 14 = 4

Isolate x by adding 14 to both sides:

6x = 18

Find x by dividing both sides by 6:

x = 18/6 = 3

x = 3

8x + 6 - 2x = 34 x= ?

e-lub [12.9K]

8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
$\frac{6}{28}$ = x

Simplify $\frac{6}{28}$ to $\frac{3}{14}$ :
$\frac{3}{14}$ = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = $\frac{3}{14}$

I've tried to get the answer for this 13 times now (not joking), plzzz help: write a formula that represents the number of peopl

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

2820 seats
aₙ = 3n + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an AP with:

The first term a₁ = 12
Common difference d = 3
Number of terms n = 40

Number of the seats:

Sₙ = 1/2*n(a₁ + aₙ) = 1/2n(2a₁ + (n - 1)d)
S₄₀ = 1/2*40(12*2 + 39*3) = 2820 seats

Formula of nth term:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d
aₙ = 12 + (n - 1)*3 = 12 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 9
aₙ = 3n + 9

the telephone company purchased 95 yards of wire for $1235 in september. they plan on making a purchase of 285 yards in October.

Luden [163]

Ratio and propoertion

cost/amount is constant
1235/95=x/285
cross multiply or time both sides by (95 times 283)
351975=95x
divide oth sies by 95
3705=x

the cost is $3705
