Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8) ← distribute both sides

24x - 48 = 24x + 48 ( add 48 to both sides )

24x = 24x + 96 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

0 = 96 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution

Iff a/b is a rational number, what does b have to equal in order for a/b to also be an integer

postnew [5]

You're thinking b=1 will always give an integer, certainly true.

Then you think b=-1 will also always give an integer, so

Answer: ±1

Then you remember that a/b may not be a reduced fraction, so other bs beside the unit make give integers. The condition for an integer is

b | a

read 'b divides a' meaning a is a multiple of b.

Then you realize that a and b might not even b integers themselves.

Let's say the above answer is correct with the additional criteria that a and b are integers with no common factors.

4x + 1/3 y 2 what is the value of the expression above when x = 2 and y = 3

GenaCL600 [577]

Hoi!

To solve this, first plug in the values for x and y.

x = 2, so anywhere you see x, put 2 in its place.

y = 3, so anywhere you see y, put 3 in its place.

$4(2) + \frac{1}{2}(3)$

4 × 2 = 8

$\frac{1}{2}$ × 3 = $1 \frac{1}{2}$

$8 +1 \frac{1}{2}$ = $9 \frac{1}{2}$

$9 \frac{1}{2}$ is your answer.

The Widget Manufacturing industry has approximately 123.2 thousand Jobs in 2020, but has expected to decline at an average annua

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

35.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's determine the number of jobs the industry will have in 2030.

So, in 2020, the industry has 123,200 jobs.

Each year, the industry loses 4,400 jobs.

Thus, by 10 years in (2030), the industry would have lost (4,400)(10) or 44,000 jobs.
