She subtracted instead of adding.
2x-18=10
You add 18 to both sides
So it would be 2x=28
Then you divide 2 on both sides so x=14

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. Round the solution to the nearest tenth.
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The approximate solution to the system is (1.2, 4.4)

x = 1.2 and y = 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the system of linear equations equation y = –0.25x + 4.7 and y = 4.9x – 1.64 is shown in the attached graph. The red line represents the equation y = –0.25x + 4.7 and the blue line represents the equation  = 4.9x – 1.64.

The solution of the system of equations is their point of intersection shown on the graph.

The point of intersection is (1.231, 4.392). To the nearest tenth, it is (1.2, 4,4). So x = 1.2 and y = 4.4.

So the approximate solution to the system is (1.2, 4.4)

Construct x such that a/x= x/b
jenyasd209 [6]
\frac{a}{x} =  \frac{x}{b}

From there we can see that because x equals both to a and b, it must be that a = b.

Factor with steps please!!!
myrzilka [38]

So you want to find two numbers that add up to -13 and multiply to 40. You can find the factors of 40 and find the pair that adds up to -13. -8 and -5 multiply to 40 and add up to -13.

<span><span>(x−5)</span><span>(x−8)</span>=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>

You can use foil to test it

<span><span>x2</span>+<span>(−8x)</span>+<span>(−5x)</span>+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>

<span><span>x2</span>−13x+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+</span>

How do I fine x in this problem. 4x+3y=12
RSB [31]

Answer:

Answer: It's relatively easy to find x in this problem. 4x+3y=12 means that the expression 3y needs to be 12 too, which gives us 12-6 or 6. That number divided by 4 is 2, so x=2! Congrats, you've found x!

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of solving this problem is to remove the parentheses all together and write the equation as 8x+6y = 54. Subtracting 54 from both sides would give us -8x + 6y = 18. The key point here is that when subtracting a negative number, we have to borrow one from our variable so instead our answer becomes (-8)x-6(y)=-54.
