7(x-2)=28 Can somebody help me and show the steps?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.

7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6

A quadratic equation of the form 0 = ax2 + bx + c has a discriminant value of –16. How many real number solutions does the equat

agasfer [191]

The equation has 0 real solutions.

If an equation has a negative discriminant, than there are no real solutions. We know this because the quadratic formula requires you to take the square root of the discriminant and therefore you would have all imaginary numbers.

Please help me with this math problem

goldfiish [28.3K]

If you look at the graph you can tell the graph is increasing before x = -2.

From x = -2 to x = 0, it's decreasing.

Then it's increasing again from x = 0 to x = 2, then decreasing after x = 2

So answer is the last one
It is increasing before x = -2 and from x = 0 to x = 2

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?

Novosadov [1.4K]

So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
