Answer:
x = 11
distributive law
additive law
multiplication property
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question an equation
4(x-7) = 2x-6
Distributive law
a(b+c) = ab +ac
4x - 4(7) = 2x - 6
4x -28 = 2x - 6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce the 2x on the right.
4x - 2x - 28 = 2x - 2x -6
4x -2x -28 = -6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce -28 to zero on the left.
4x - 2x- 28 + 28 = -6 + 28
2x = 22
Use the multiplication property of equality to reduce 2x to just x
2x2 = 22/22
x = 22/2
x = 11
It would be 2(x+3)(x+1)=0
Explanation:
I used factor by grouping. You multiply the first term (2) by the last term (6). This gives you 12 then take the factors of 12 that add up to the middle term 8. You get 6 and 2.
It should look like 2x^2+6x+2x+6=0
when you do factor by grouping you factor the first two terms and then the last two terms separately. So you get (2x+2) and (x+3). (2x+2) could be factored into 2(x+1). Then you put everything together and get 2(x+3)(x+1)=0
I realise this is quite late but in case you still wanted the answer, the width is 3m.
If the length is 3m longer than the width, you can write the width as x and the length as x + 3. The perimeter would be both lengths and both widths added together, so you would just write it as:
x + x + x + 3 + x + 3 = 18
4x + 6 = 18
- 6
4x = 12
÷ 4
x = 3
I hope this helps!
The model for direct proportion is y = mx. Note that there is no "offset," no "y-intercept."
y = 6x represents direct proportion with a constant of proportionality 6. The other 2 choices are disqualified because of offset +6 or -6.
