Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Combine like terms to simplify the equation.

Combining like terms means to combine anything that has the same variable, degree, or no variable at all.

-3x and +6x are like terms, for example because they both have an x.

Add them together to get 3x.

2. Rewrite the equation as the simplified version of 3x-8=7.

3. Add 8 to both sides to cancel out 8 on the left side.

3x=15.

4. Divide by 3 to isolate x.

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-3x - 8 + 6x = 7

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

  1. Combine like terms:                    3x - 8 = 7
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                   3x = 15
  3. Divide 3 on both sides:               x = 5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

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

  1. Substitute:                    -3(5) - 8 + 6(5) = 7
  2. Multiply:                        -15 - 8 + 30 = 7
  3. Subtract:                       -23 + 30 = 7
  4. Add:                               7 = 7

Here we see that 7 does indeed equal 7.

∴ x = 5 is a solution of the equation.

I need the equation of the line in the graph
sattari [20]
First of all, we know that it's a linear equation, which means it'll have to be y=mx+b.

Identify your points.
(0, 0) and (5, 4).

Now find the slope by doing 
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (4 - 0)/(5 - 0)
m = 4/5
So the slope is 4/5 or 0.8.

Now set the equation up. You have a point and the slope, so use the point-slope equation.
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 4 = 4/5(x - 5)
y - 4 = 4/5x - 4
y = 4/5x

So the equation of the line is y=4/5x.

I borrowed $400 to buy an MP3 player. I got a two-year loan, and the lender is charging 8% simple annual interest. How much mone
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

$464

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount to be repaid = loan amount + interest on the loan

Interest on the loan = loan amount x time x interest rate

loan amount = $400

Time = 2 years

interest rate = 8%

400 x 0.08 x 2 = $64

Amount to be repaid = $400 + $64 = $464

\bf (-y+4)(2y-1)\implies \stackrel{(-y)(2y-1)}{-2y^2+y}~~+~~\stackrel{(4)(2y-1)}{8y-4}\implies -2y^2+9y-4

notice, just like in any multiplication, you can simply multiply each term of either polynomial times the other, sum them up and then cancel like-terms.
