Now we have to,

find the required value of x.

Given that,

→ |-4x -6| = 14

Let's find the both positive value and negative value,

===================

→ -4x -6 = 14

→ -4x = 14 + 6

→ -4x = 20

→ x = 20/-4

→ [x = -5]

===================

→ -4x -6 = -14

→ -4x = -14 + 6

→ -4x = -8

→ x = -8/-4

→ x = 8/4

→ [x = 2]

===================

Therefore, x is -5 (or) 2 is the answer.

Answer:

x = -5 or x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4x-6| = 14

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

-4x-6 = 14 -4x-6 = -14

Add 6 to each side

-4x-6+6 = 14+6 -4x-6+6 = -14+6

-4x = 20 -4x = -8

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = 20/-4 -4x/-4 = -8/-4

x = -5 x = 2

Answer:

f(x)=19x - 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

I am a high schooler as well and was working on this problem as well. I can't say I'm right or wrong because I didn't have a grade on it yet. I believe the answer is f(x)=19x - 7x. The Lines don't have a given value, so I chose the values 12 for Line A and 7 for Line B. I believe the answer is this because Line A would produce 12 bags each day and 3 of them would not be useable, leaving you with 9. Line B would produce 7 and 4 of them would be unusable, leaving you with 3. Line A produces 9 per day while Line B produces 3, and that would check off the part that says, "Line A produces 3 times as many bags as Line B each day." Throughout the problem, it talks about how many bags can each line produces each day, and the sentence talks about that specifically as well. So, the function must be about the amount of bags produced per day. x would represent the number of days that the Lines have been working. 19 is the total amount of bags that was produced in a day. 7 represents the total amount of bags that are unusable. Though I may be wrong, I hope this might help you come to a conculsion of your own.

Help with multistep problem please! 5(c+4/5)+6=50

Zolol [24]

5(c + ⁴/₅) + 6 = 50
5(c) + 5(⁴/₅) + 6 = 50
 5c + 4 + 6 = 50
 5c + 10 = 50

Distibutive property

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Everything should simplify down to -9a-3 (your answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is basically multiplying the outside number into the inside parenthesis (). Basically #(a)--->#a or #(a+b)---> #a+#b

Since you're not ask to solve for anything but simplify, just multiply 3 to -3a and -1.....

so 3*-3a is -9a and 3*-1 is -3 and you have 3(-3a-1)= -9a-3

The lengths, in minutes, of the movies currently showing at a movie theater are shown in the data set. Create a histogram

alexdok [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the required lengths are not given.

I will use the following data set to answer the question.

$Dataset: 35, 51, 39, 42, 68, 62, 32, 59$

First, is to determine the range of the dataset

$Range = Highest - Least$

$Range = 68 - 32$

$Range = 36$

Next, we will make use of 4 classes. So, we divide range by 10 to get the number of class. 10 represents the interval

$Class= Range/10$

$Class = 36/10$

$Class = 3.6$

$Class \approx 4$

So, we use 4 classes

Plot the frequency distribution table as follows:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Intervals} & {Observations} & {Frequency} & {31-40} & {32,35,39} & {3} & {41-50} & {42} & {1} & {51-60} & {51,59} & {2} & {61-70} & {62,68} & {2}\ \end{array}$
