By using the Distributive Property, you would multiply 3 into the parenthesis (3 · x and 3 · -4)

3(x - 4) = 24

3x - 12 = 24

Then, you would solve like any normal one-step equation.

3x - 12 = 24

     +12   +12

__________

3x      36

__  =  __

3        3

x = 12, which is your final solution.

If you need any further explanations, please ask me :)

Answer:

3(x - 4) = 24 This is the normal equation.

3x - 12 = 24 Next, use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by the number on the right of the parentheses, which in this case is 3. 3 times x is 3x, and remember to use any symbols to the left of the numbers and use as if it was a negative. 3 times -4 -12. Get rid of the parentheses and replace with the new numbers, which are 3x and -12.

3x = 36  I think you are solving for X so that's what i'm doing.

x = 12

1. Write the equation for a line in point slope form that had a slope of 4 and passes through (1,1)
Dahasolnce [82]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Slope = m = 4
  • Given point: (x₁,y₁) = (1,1) [x₁ = 1; y₁ = 1]
  • Formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

<u>Use the formula to convert the line in point slope form.</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 1 = 4(x - 1)

The equation of the line (In point slope form) is y - 1 = 4(x - 1).

Given b(x) = |x+4], what is b(-10)?<br> -10<br> -6<br> 8<br> 14
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

b(-10) = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

b(x) = |x + 4|

b(-10) is x = -10

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

b(-10) = |-10 + 4|

b(-10) = |-6|

b(-10) = 6
