Answer:

x = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 2 = 86

subtract 2 on both sides

-4x + 2 - 2 = 86 - 2

-4x = 84

Divide by -4 on both sides to isolate the variable

-4x/-4 = 84/-4

x = -21

We can check it bu using substitution

-4(-21) + 2 = 86

84 + 2 = 86

86 = 86

CORRECT

Hope this helped!

Enlarge the triangle by scale factor of -1/3
Bess [88]

The attached image represents the triangle after it has been enlarged

<h3>How to enlarge the triangle?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Scale factor, k = -1/3
  • Center, (a,b) = (-1,2)

From the graph, the coordinates of the triangle are:

A = (-4,2)

B = (-4,-4)

C = (-1,-4)

The rule of dilation is calculated using:

(x,y) \to (k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b)

So, we have:

A' = (-\frac 13(-4 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(2 - 2) + 2)

A' = (0, 2)

B' = (-\frac 13(-4 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(-4 - 2) + 2)

B' = (0, 4)

C' = (-\frac 13(-1 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(-4 - 2) + 2)

C' = (-1, 4)

See attachment for the image of the triangle, after it has been enlarged

A farmer planted corn in two different fields. He planted 500 seeds of regular corn in Field A and 500 seeds of experimental cor
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1. More pollination process in the regular corn planted in field A than that of field B.

2. Low pest and insect attack on corn planted in field A compared to that of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Pollination is the process in which a plant becomes fertilized, so as to produced seeds. The process requires some agent which could be; air, human, wind etc.

Therefore more pollination of the corn planted in field A than those in B would lead to more yield (ears of corn harvested) than that of B.

2. Pests and insects are agents which could reduce the yield of the corn after harvest. Comparing the two fields A and B, if the corn planted in field A were not affected by pests or insects, while those planted in B were affected, then more ears of corn would be harvested in field A.

Find the total cost for a $30 bat;15% discount
noname [10]
An item that costs $30, when discounted 15 percent, will cost $25.5. The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $30 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $4.5. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $4.5 from the original price $30 then get $25.5 as the sales price.
