\bf \cfrac{x+3}{4}=\cfrac{7}{8}\implies 8(x+3)=4(7)\implies 8x+24=28\implies 8x=4 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4}{8}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{2}

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x+3}{4}=\dfrac{7}{8}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\8(x+3)=(4)(7)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\8x+(8)(3)=28\\\\8x+24=28\qquad\text{subtract 24 from both sides}\\\\8x+24-24=28-24\\\\8x=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\\dfrac{8x}{8}=\dfrac{4}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{4:4}{8:4}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}

Help Me! I suck with vectors.<br> Look at the attached pictures for the problem.
Westkost [7]

Multiplying a vector x by a constant k gives you a new vector whose components are the same as x, but scaled by k:

x=\langle x_1,x_2\rangle\implies x=\langle kx_1,kx_2\rangle

So we have

u=\langle5,-7\rangle\implies-6u=\langle-30,42\rangle

v=\langle-11,3\rangle\implies2v=\langle-22,6\rangle

Vector addition is just a matter of adding the corresponding components together:

x=\langle x_1,x_2\rangle,y=\langle y_1,y_2\rangle\implies x+y=\langle x_1+y_1,x_2+y_2\rangle

Then

2v-6u=\langle-22,6\rangle+\langle-30,42\rangle=\langle-22-30,6+42\rangle

\implies\boxed{2v-6u=\langle-52,48\rangle}

\|x\| denotes the norm/magnitude of the vector x:

x=\langle x_1,x_2\rangle\implies\|x\|=\sqrt{{x_1}^2+{x_2}^2}

We have

\|2v-6u\|=\sqrt{(-52)^2+48^2}=4\sqrt{313}

\implies\boxed{\|2v-6u\|\approx70.77}
