Answer:

x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4

Subtract x from both sides:

1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4

-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:

-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4

x - x = 0:

1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4

Subtract 1.2` from both sides:

(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

1.2 - 1.2 = 0:

-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4

-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:

-1.3 x = -2.6

Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:

(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:

x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)

(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:

Answer: x = 2.

Order 3/8, 3/7, and 3/9 from least to greatest without writing equivalent fractions with a common denominator explain your Strategy

3/9 3/8 3/7

The greater the denominator, the smaller the pieces are. Thus, numbers with equivalent numerators but smaller denominators will be larger than those with larger denominators.

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph.

ivanzaharov [21]

For this case, we find the equation of the line, for this we look for points where the line passes:

$(x1, y1) = (- 2,0)\\(x2, y2) = (- 10, -4)$

We found the slope:

$m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1} = \frac {-4-0} {- 10 - (- 2)} = \frac {-4} {- 10 + 2} = \frac {- 4} {- 8} = \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the equation of the line is:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + b$

We substitute a point to find "b":

$0 = \frac {1} {2} (- 2) + b\\0 = -1 + b\\b = 1$

Finally:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + 1$

Now, the domain is given by all the values for which the function is defined.

It is observed that "x" can take any value, that is, it is defined for all real numbers.

Two cards are dealt at random from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card is a King and the se

34kurt

Answer:

1 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart suit = 13

Number of kings = 4

Recall:

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(first card is king) = 4/52 = 1/13

P(second card is heart) = 13/51

Hence,

P(first card is king) * P(second card is heart)

(1/ 13) * (13/51) = 13 / 663 = 1/ 51

Answer:

$p + q = -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$p^{2} + 6 p = q^{2} + 6q \\p^{2} - q^{2} = 6q - 6p$

$( p + q) ( p-q) = 6 ( q - p )$

$p + q = \frac{6 ( q - p)}{(p-q)} \\p + q = \frac{-6( p - q)}{(p - q)} \\p + q = -6$

I am thinking of a number. when it is increasd by 7, it equals 21. what is my number

andrey2020 [161]

If X is increased by 7 to make 21
X + 7 = 21
then rearrange the equation to get X
X = 21-7
X = 14(b)
