Answer:

x = -2.3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1.3 = -7.9

First we want to combine the like terms.

Subtract 1.3 from both sides.

4x = -9.2

Now we want to isolate x by dividing both sides by 4.

x = -2.3

Check your answer by plugging x back into the original equation.

4x + 1.3 = -7.9

4(-2.3) + 1.3 = -7.9

Multiply.

-9.2 + 1.3 = -7.9

Add.

-7.9 = -7/9

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

How do i solve this?<br> 2+4x=2(2x+1)

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions (or 2=2 which isnt related)

Step-by-step explanation:

2+4x=4x+2

Distribute the 2 to the numbers inside.

Secondly, Minus the 4x on the right side and also minus the 4x on the right side.

You would end up with 0x.

The answer would be 2=2, but the real answer would be "infinitely many solutions."

If your teacher thinks this is wrong, I don't know what else. I could be wrong but really, I don't care.

Oh freight elevator can hold a maximum weight of 3500 pounds and delivery man weighs 200 pounds is delivering curtains that each

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$200+48n\leq 3500$

$n\leq 66.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

The freight elevator can hold a maximum weight of 3500 pounds
The delivery man weighs 200 pounds
Each carton weighs 48 pounds

Let the number of cartons he can safely put on the elevator at one time=n

Total weight of Carton=48n

Since the weight of the man and the cartons combined must not be more than 3500 pounds,

Therefore,an inequality that represents the situation is:

$200+48n\leq 3500$

We can solve for n if required

$200-200+48n\leq 3500-200\\48n\leq 3200\\\text{Divide both sides by 48}\\n\leq66.7$

The delivery man can safely carry 66 Cartons.
