Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must expand everything:

2(2x+1) - 3(x-1) = 8

2(2x)+2(1) - 3(x)+3(1) = 8

4x + 2 - 3x + 3 = 8

x + 5 = 8

Then, move all the unknown value to one side:

x = 8 - 5

= 3

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation, open the bracket to give

4x + 2- 3x + 3= 8

Combine like terms

4x-3x= 8-3-2

x=8-5

x=3

Find an equation of the line that passes through the points (-0.5,0.75) and (0.75,-0.5)

Keith_Richards [23]

The equation of the line can be shown using the slope intercept form that is

y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So firstly we have to find the value of slope m

To find the value of slope m we apply the formula

$m= \frac{( y_{2} - y_{1})}{( x_{2} - x_{1})}$

So we can plug the values using the two given points

(-0.5,0.75) and (0.75,-0.5)

$m= \frac{(-0.5-0.75) }{(0.75-(-0.5))} = \frac{-1.25}{1.25} = -1$

So m = -1

Plug m=-1 in the equation we get

y= -1x +b

Now we have to find the value of b

to find the value of b , we plug any one pint in the equation

0.75 = -1(-0.5) +b

0.75 = 0.5 +b

Subtract 0.5 from both sides

0.25 = b

b= 0.25

Now plug the value of b , in the equation

we get

y = -1x +0.25

hence the equation of the line is y = -1x +0.25

If f(x) = 2x2 + 7, find f(-3) =<br> What’s the f(-3)

Allisa [31]

Answer:

replace the x with -3

Step-by-step explanation:

if you ever have f(x) = 'insert equation' and then it says find f('insert number'), you replace what ever variable is after the first 'f' with the number after the second 'f'. hope this helped!

What is the probability of rolling a 3 on two consecutive rolls of a fair 6-sided die?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{36}$ chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time you roll a die, you have a $\frac{1}{6}$ chance of rolling a 3. It's even rarer to roll two 3s in a row, and to find a consecutive probability, we have to multiply the two probabilities. In this case, both probabilities are $\frac{1}{6}$ .

$\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{36}$

Hope this helped!
