Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2x - 3 = 4

-1/2 * x = 4+3

-1/2 * x = 7

x = 7/(-1/2)

x = -14

Good luck with your schoolwork/homework!

Answer:

x=-14

Step-by-step explanation:

First rewrite your equation in a simpler form.

- $\frac{1}{2}$ x-3=4

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

- $\frac{1}{2}$ =7

Multiply both sides by - $\frac{1}{2}$ .

x=-14

Hope this helps! Wouldn't mind a brainliest either :).

The picture is my problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your line has the wrong slope. Its slope is ½, but the equation tells you that the slope is ¾.

The point (0,2) is correct, but (-4,0) is incorrect. If x=-4 then y=-1, not 0.

Plot (-4,-1), then draw the line passing through (-4,-1) and (0,2).

Solve -(1+7g)-6(-7-g)=36

maria [59]

Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.

... -1 -7g +42 +6g = 36

... 41 -g = 36 . . . . collect terms

... 41 -36 = g . . . . add g-36 to both sides

... 5 = g . . . . . .. . . your answer

Please help me!!!!!!!! Factor z2 – 3z – 18

Vladimir [108]

First, the factor pairs for 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6

Since the middle term is -3, the two factors must be 3 apart. The only pair that is 3 values apart is 3, 6.
Since the middle value is negative, the larger number is negative. This means that the 6 is negative.
z = -6
z = 3

Set each equal to 0;
z = -6
z + 6 = 0

z = 3
z - 3 =0
So your factors are (z+6) and (z-3), or answer B.

A 15-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house. To the nearest degree, what angle doe

max2010maxim [7]

The ladder is forming a right triangle with the house. In this right triangle the hypotenuse is the measure of the ladder, and the distance between the house and he ladder is one of the sides of the triangle. To find the angle, $\alpha$ , that the ladder is making with the ground, we are going to use a trig function that relates the adjacent side of our angle with the hypotenuse. That trig function is Cosine.
$Cos \alpha = \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}$
$Cos \alpha = \frac{7}{15}$
$\alpha =arcCos( \frac{7}{15} )$
$\alpha =62.2$

We can conclude that the ladder make with the ground a 62° angle.
