Answer: #2
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay first you need to combine like terms together (3x and 1x)
7x + 4 = 5 + 4x
now you need x only on one side, you could subtract either 7x or 4x
3x + 4 = 5
subtract 4 over
3x = 1 is the answer
4inches and 4yards that is what I got but it might be wrong
60 5/6 + 56 1/6 = 117
59 1/3 + 54 1/3 = 113 2/3
117 + 113 2/3 = 230 2/3 feet
Kate: Please, for clarity, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: 2x^2 + x − 4 = 0
And please include the instructions.
2x^2 + x − 4 = 0 can be re-written: 2(x^2 + (1/2)x - 2) = 0
Dividing both sides by 2 results in x^2 + (1/2)x - 2 = 0
Let's "complete the square:" x^2 + (1/2)x + (1/4)^2 - (1/4)^2 = 0
Then (x+(1/4))^2 = (1/4)^2
Taking the sqrt of both sides: x+1/4 = plus or minus 1/4
Solving for x: x = -1/4 plus or minus 1/4
Solving for x (continued): x = 0 and x = -1/2
