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!

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 large boxes

3 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations to represent the problem.

let "a" be the number of small boxes

let "b" be the number of large boxes

20a + 40b = 260    This equation shows the numbers of books

a + b = 8                  This equations shows the number of boxes

Solve the system of equations (solve for a and b). We can solve using the substitution method.

Rearrange a + b = 8 to isolate one of the variables.

a = 8 - b    New equation that represents "a"

Since we know an equation for "a", we can substitute what "a" equals into the other equation. There will only be one variable in the equation, so we can solve by isolating. Isolate by doing reverse operations.

Substitute "a" for 8 - b

20a + 40b = 260

20(8 - b) + 40b = 260     Distribute 20 over the brackets by multiplying

160 - 20b + 40b = 260    Collect like terms (numbers with same variables)

160 + 20b = 260    Start isolating "b". Subtract 160 from both sides

20b = 260 - 160

20b = 100    Divide both sides by 20

b = 5    Number of large boxes

Substitute "b" for 5 in the simplest equation

a + b = 8

a + 5 = 8      Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate "a"

a = 8 - 5    

a = 3      Number of small boxes

Therefore there were 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes sent.

Which statements are true? Select three options. ∠F corresponds to ∠F'. Segment EE' is parallel to segment FF'. The distance fro
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The correct options are (1), (3) and (5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are shown below.

The measure of ∠F corresponds to ∠F'.

The distance between the points D and origin is of 9 units.

And the distance between the points D' and origin is 3 units.

Thus, the distance from point D' to the origin is One-third the distance of point D to the origin.

Check for similarity:

\frac{D'F'}{DF}=\frac{D'E'}{DE}=\frac{F'E'}{FE}=\frac{1}{3}

Thus, the △DEF is similar to △D'E'F'.

Thus, the correct options are (1), (3) and (5).

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to {y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x+7}y=− 4 5 ​ x+7y, equals, minus, start fraction, 5, divided b
AlladinOne [14]

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7

Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).


Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b

"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.


x = -4

y= 1

y = -5/4x + b

1 = -5/4(-4) + b

1 = 5 + b

-4 = b


Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4

A person sold an article at a profit of 15% if he sold it for Rs 81 less , his loss would have been 12% find the cost price of t
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

let cp be x

sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain)

sp = 88x/100------(when 12% loss

according to question

115x/100 - 88x/100 = 81

or, (115x-88x)= 8100

or, 27x = 8100

or, x= 8100/27

x = 300

hence cp is RS 300
