What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)

Is (-7,3) a solution to this inequality? Y- 4x < - 5. Show your work or describe what you did to decide the answer.

No because (-7, 3) is like (x, y)
Plug and chug [what I call it] into the equation
(3) - 4(-7) < 5
3- (-28)<5
31<5 <—— this is not true so it would be galse

In 1980, the median age of the U.S. population was 30.0; in 2000, the median age was 35.3.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

y = 0.265x - 494.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let median age be represent by 'a' and time be represent by 't'

In 1980, median age is given 30

which means that

a₁ = 30

t₁ = 1980

In 2000, the median age is given 35.3

which means that.

a₂ = 35.3

t₂ = 2000

The slope 'm' of the linear equation can be found by:

m = (a₂ - a₁) /(t₂ - t₁)

m = (35.3 - 30)/(2000-1980)

m = 0.265

General form of linear equation is given by:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x +c

Substitute point (1980,30) in the equation.

30 = 0.265(1980) + c

c = -494.7

Hence the the linear equation can be written as:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x - 494.7
