Solve the equation 3(x+4)=2x+4x-6 for x.

Mathematics

slavikrds [6]3 years ago

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us expand the left side:

3x+12 = 2x+ 4x -6

Let us then simplify the right side:

3x+12=6x-6

We can now put the same variables on one side to isolate x:

12+6=6x-3x

18=3x

x=6

<em>I hope this helped! :)</em>

Which of these systems of linear equations has no solution? 2 x + 8 y = 15. 4 x + 16 y = 30. 2 x minus y = 18. 4 x + 2 y = 38. 4
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

4 x -3 y = 16 and

8 x -6 y = 34 are the equations that have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have a look at the rules for a pair of lines, that have solution or no solution.

Let the equations be:

a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 and

a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0

1. There exists exactly one solution:

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}

2. There exists infinitely many solutions i.e. lines are identical.

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

3. There exists No solutions i.e. lines are parallel and will never intersect.

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Now, let us have a look at the given pair of lines:

Option a)

2 x + 8 y = 15\\4 x + 16 y = 30.

The ratio:

\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{8}{16}=\dfrac{15}{30} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, the lines are identical, infinite solutions.

Option b)

2 x - y = 18\\4 x + 2 y = 38

The ratio:

\dfrac{2}{4}\neq \dfrac{-1}{2}

Hence, exactly one solution.

Option c)

4 x + 7 y = 17\\8 x -14 y = 36

The ratio:

\dfrac{4}{8}\neq \dfrac{-7}{14}\\\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{2}

Hence, exactly one solution.

Option d)

4 x - 3 y = 16\\8 x - 6 y = 34.

The ratio:

\dfrac{4}{8}= \dfrac{-3}{-6}\neq\dfrac{16}{34}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}= \dfrac{1}{2}\neq\dfrac{8}{17}

Hence, There is no solution.

The correct answer is:

4 x -3 y = 16 and

8 x -6 y = 34 are the equations that have no solution.

An interior designer sketches a design for a rectangular rug. The dimensions of a sketch are 4 inches by 7.5 in. The dimensions
Black_prince [1.1K]

3,000 in.

(4 x 10) + (7.5 x 10) = 3000


The dimensions on the sketch are 10 times less than the actual rug.


40 in., 7.5 in.


The drawing lengths are ten times more, so you just multiply the dimensions by 10, and then multiply the product you find out to find the actual area of the rug.
