Solve the equation for x. 4x + ax = 2(bx + 3)

Mathematics
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = \frac{6}{4+a-2b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + ax = 2(bx + 3) ← distribute parenthesis

4x + ax = 2bx + 6 ( subtract 2bx from both sides )

4x + ax - 2bx = 6 ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(4 + a - 2b) = 6 ← divide both sides by (4 + a - 2b)

x = \frac{6}{4+a-2b}

Help, please! ASAP!!​
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

a) one solution

b) no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations can be described as having one solution, no solution or infinite solutions:

One solution:  'x' and 'y' are equal to only one value

No solution:  'x' and 'y' can not be solved with the given equations

Infinite solutions:  values for 'x' and 'y' include all real numbers

In order to evaluate the systems, putting them in the same format is your first step:

a) - y  = -5x - 6 or y - 5x = 6

   y - 5x = -6

Since both equations have the same expression 'y - 5x', but there are equal to opposite values, this system would have no solution, as this would not be possible to calculate.

b) y + 3x = -1

  y = 3x -1 or y - 3x = -1

Solving for 'y' by adding the equations and eliminating 'x', gives us:

2y = -2 or y = -1

Using y = -1 to plug back into an equation and solve for 'x':  -1 + 3x = -1 or x = 0.  Since 'x' and 'y' can be solved for a value, the system has just one solution.

The following table represents Tracie's earnings:

In the table it shows that 1 hour corresponds to $25. Or if you want to check it, simply take any value and divide it by its corresponding hour ( ex. 50/2 or 75/3) Hope this helps!

Please help me Find a, b, and c
zlopas [31]

Answer:

It is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b, use the 45-45-90 triangle theorem, in which each of the legs is x, so the legs would be 8. The hypotenuse would therefore be 8√2.

So without further solving the answer is A, since it's the only one with 8√2.

However, I will still solve for A and C. Using the 30-60-90 theorem, we have the sides as x, x√3, and 2x. The second longest side is b. Using this, we find a = 4√6 and c to be 4√2

In your own words, explain why there is no solution to the following equation:| x-6|= -8 Also, knowing this, how does it help to
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the two lines before and after the expression means absolute value, or modulus of, knowing this, it means that the answer must always yield positive. So if x-6 is positive, it will stay positive, if x-6 is negative, it will turn positive, therefore it can never yield a negative value.

Now im assuming the second question is meant to be absolute value of x-5 is less than 0, because it makes no sense otherwise.

So now knowing that x-5 is always positive, or 0, but this inequality only wants less than 0, this means there are no solutions for the inequality.
