Answer:

x = $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x

Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7

Seperate the 8x from the other numbers

8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6

8x = 6

Now simplify

x = $\frac{6}{8}$ <----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2

Hence,

x = $\frac{3}{4}$

Perimeter of a square painting is 216 centimeters. How long is each side?

RUDIKE [14]

Perimeter is the addition of all 4 sides and a square as all the same sides. so every side will be the same. so if you divide 216 by 4 you get 54. you can check this by adding 54+54+54+54=216 or 54x4=216

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h2>If we placed the number 10 in the box, we obtain a system of equations with infinitely many solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

$y=2x-5\\2y-4x=a$

<em>It's important to know that a system with infinitely many solutions, it's a system that has the same equation</em>, that is, both equation represent the same line, or as some textbooks say, one line is on the other one, so they have inifinitely common solutions.

Having said that, the first thing we should do here is reorder the system

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x+a$

This way, you can compare better both equations. If you look closer, observe that the second equation is double, that is, it can be obtained by multiplying a factor of 2 to the first one, that is

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x-10$

So, by multiplying such factor, we obtaine the second equation. Observe that $a$ must be equal to 10, that way the system would have infinitely solutions.

Therefore, the answer is 10.

What should the next number be? 100 96 104 88 120 56

riadik2000 [5.3K]

100 ---> 96 is -4

96 ---> 104 is +8

104 ---> 88 is -16

88 ---> 120 is +32

120 ---> 56 is -64

So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.

The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64

Notice it's the powers of 2:

2^2 = 4

2^3 = 8

2^4 = 16

2^5 = 32

2^6 = 64

each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.

The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128

Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get

128+56 = 184

Therefore, the final answer is 184
