Answer:

x = 10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets

  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition

  • Left to Right

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

6(x - 1) = 9(x - 4)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                   6x - 6 = 9x - 36
  2. Subtract 6x on both sides:        -6 = 3x - 36
  3. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                             30 = 3x
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                      10 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                       x = 10

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    6(10 - 1) = 9(10 - 4)
  2. Subtract:                              6(9) = 9(6)

Here we see that the 2 expressions are exactly the same.

∴ x = 10 is the solution to the equation.

Will give brainliest to right answer please help!! 15 points -A sample of a radioactive isotope had an initial mass of 370 mg
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

78 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

370 mg - 110 mg = 260 mg (amount decayed in the 8 total years)

260 mg ÷ 8 years = 32.5 mg decayed per year

32.5 × 9 years (years between 2008 and 2017) = 292.5 mg

370 mg - 292.5 mg = 77.5 mg, rounded to 78 mg

you find a mutual fund that offers approximately 7.5% APR compounded monthly you will invest enough each month to have 2000 at t
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Assume you will invest fixed amount x at the starting of each month

S(12): (1.00625x)*(1.00625^(12)-1)/(1.00625-1) = 2000

x=160

you will invest fixed amount 160 at the starting of each month and get 2000 at the end of the year ,which compounded 7.5% monthly.

how much will you have invested at the end of the first year ?

160*12=1920

2x – 1 = y + 4<br>3y +1 = 3х – 2​
ehidna [41]

Answer:x=4 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

2x−1=y+4;3y+1=3x−2

Step: Solve2x−1=y+4for y:

2x−1=y+4

2x−1+−y=y+4+−y(Add -y to both sides)

2x−y−1=4

2x−y−1+−2x=4+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

−y−1=−2x+4

−y−1+1=−2x+4+1(Add 1 to both sides)

−y=−2x+5

−y

−1

=

−2x+5

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

y=2x−5

Step: Substitute2x−5foryin3y+1=3x−2:

3y+1=3x−2

3(2x−5)+1=3x−2

6x−14=3x−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

6x−14+−3x=3x−2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)

3x−14=−2

3x−14+14=−2+14(Add 14 to both sides)

3x=12

3x

3

=

12

3

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=4

Step: Substitute4forxiny=2x−5:

y=2x−5

y=(2)(4)−5

y=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
