Answer: 14 = x

Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing through the parenthses

on each side of the equation to get 4x + 16 = 6x - 12.

Now move your x's to the right and numbers

to the left and you get 28 = 2x.

Divide both sides by 2 and 14 = x.

Answer:

x = 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4(x + 4) = 6(x - 2)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                   4x + 16 = 6x - 12
  2. Subtract 4x on both sides:         16 = 2x - 12
  3. Add 12 on both sides:                28 = 2x
  4. Divide 2 on both sides:              14 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                       x = 14

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    4(14 + 4) = 6(14 - 2)
  2. Add/Subtract:               4(18) = 6(12)
  3. Multiply:                        72 = 72

And we have our final answer!

Consider the following game. There is a bottle with 20 colored chips inside. There are 2 blue chips, 4 purple chips, 7 green chi
vekshin1

Answer: Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of colored chips = 20

Number of blue chips = 2

Number of purple chips = 4

Number of green chips = 7

Number of red chips = 7

Amount of prize he gets for blue chip = $10

Amount of prize he gets for a purple chip = $5

No amount is given for red or green

Amount he had to pay = $2

So, Expected value of playing the game is given by

\frac{2}{20}\times 10+\frac{4}{20}\times 5+7\times 0+7\times 0-2\\\\=1+1-2\\\\=2-2\\\\=\$0

Hence, Expected value of playing the game is $0.

Yuri [45]
Rate is given by:
rate=(distance )/(time)
Martin's rate will be:
(3 1/3)/(1/6)
=(10/3)/(1/6)
=20 meters per hour

Alexia's rate is:
(17 1/2)/(5/6)
=(35/2)/(5/6)
=21 meters per hour

Solve for x 0°&lt;x&lt;360<br>3cos2x +sinx=1​
BartSMP [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

3cos2x +sinx=1

3(1-2sin²x)+sinx=1

3-6sin²x+sinx=1

sinx(-6sinx+1)=1

either

sinx=1

sinx=sin(90)

:.x=90

or

-6sinx+1=1

-6sinx=1-1

sinx=0/-6

sinx=sin0,sin180

:.x=0,180and90
