Solve for x: 7(2x - 4) = 42

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x =5

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 7

leaves you with 14x - 28 =42

Add 42 to both sides, cancelling out the 28 on the left

left with 14x = 70

70/14 = 5

x = 5

A vendor sells hot dogs, bags of potato chips, and soft drinks. A customer buys 4 hot dogs, 3 bags of potato chips, and 4 soft d
makkiz [27]

Hi, Siyasi2 ! Let x = the number of hot dogs, y = the number of chips, and z = the number of drinks. Then we know:

 

5x + 4y + 5z = 15.75

x = y + 0.75

z = 2x - 1

 

Let's substitute the 3rd equation into the first one.  

 

5x + 4y + 5(2x - 1) = 15.75

5x + 4y+ 10x - 5 = 15.75

15x + 4y = 20.75

 

Now, let's re-write the 2nd equation as x - y = 0.75

 

We now have a system of two equations with two unknowns.

 

15x + 4y = 20.75

x - y = 0.75

 

To solve this, we can multiply the bottom equation by 4 and add.

 

15x + 4y = 20.75

+ 4(x - y = 0.75)

 

19x = 23.75

or x = 1.25

 

If x = 1.25, then using the one of the equations above, we can solve for y.

x - y = 1.25 - y = 0.75

.50 = y

 

Since z = 2x - 1, then z = 2(1.25) - 1 = 2.5 - 1 = 1.50

 

So, a hot dog is $1.25, chips are 50 cents, and a soft drink is $1.50. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Graph the hyperbola with equation quantity x plus four squared divided by sixteen minus the quantity of y plus three squared div
PolarNik [594]
Please see the attached figure. This is how you draw a hyperbola. Its general formula is:

(x-h)²/a² - (y-k)²/b² = 1, where

(h,k) is the center
a is the semi-major axis
b is the semi-minor axis

The given equation is

(x+4)²/16 - (y+3)²/25 = 1

So, from the general form we can deduce that,
Center(-4,-3)
a = 4
b = 5

So, the first point we can plot is the centerpoint. Next, you draw the two intersecting lines. Their slopes are +/- b/a. Thus, it corresponds to +/- 5/4. Using this slope, we can find the equation of the two lines by using the slope and the center.

-3 = +5/4 (-4) + b ---> b= 2
-3 = -5/4 (-4) + b ---> b= -8

So, you plot the equations y=5/4x + 2 and y = -5/4 x -8 by assigning values of x and plotting them against y. Then, the vertex of the hyperbolas are 4 units from the center, denoted by the green dots. The hyperbola is shown in the next picture.

the Marked price of a book is rupees 160 if it is sold at 15% discount find the discount amount and selling price​
Ostrovityanka [42]

answer is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

cost prices of book =160

selling prices of book =136

now,rate of discount =loss% (as discount only leads to some kind of loss)

so CP>SP

so loss=CP-SP =160-136=24

loss%= (loss/CP)÷100

=(24/160)÷100

=15%

so rate of discount =15%

What is the area of the figure?? HELP PLS!!
Alchen [17]
Hi!

I've included an image showing the shape divided into 3 rectangles. We're going to find the area of each rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length times the width. 

The red rectangle:

8 · 9 = 72
The area of the red rectangle is 72in.

The orange rectangles:

The orange rectangles have the same area. 
10 · 3 = 30
30 + 30 = 60
The area of both orange rectangles is 60in.

72 + 60 = 132

The answer is 132 square inches.

Hope this helps! :)

Is 3.3 rational or irrational? need to know now plsssss.
Verizon [17]

3.3 is rational. The decimal doesn't recur, meaning it doesn't go on forever.

3.3 with a dot above the decimal place is recurring, because the dot means that number goes on forever

Hope I helped!
