Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation:

2(2x - 7) = -34

Use distributive property

2 · 2x = 4x

2 · (-7) = -14

Plug these values back into the equation

4x - 14 = -34

Add 14 to both sides

4x = -20

Divide both sides by 4

x = -5

Hope this helps :)

Five pennies, 3 dimes, and 4 quarters are placed in a bag. What is the probability of selecting a penny and then a dime, given t

VashaNatasha [74]

There are 12 coins in the bag. For the first case, the probability that a penny is selected from the bag is 5/12 because there are 5 pennies in the bag. Also, the next one is 3/11. Multiplying the probabilities,
(5/12)(3/11) = 8/121

Distribute on the left
3x-15=7x

Subtract 3x from both sides
-15= 4x

Divide both sides by 4
-15/4= x

Final answer: x=-15/4 or -3.75

The number of rows in an auditorium can be represented by the function f(x) = 80x. The number of seats in each row can be repres

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function h(x), that represents the total number of seats, we just need to multiply the functions f(x) (number of rows) and g(x) (number of seats per row):

$h(x) = f(x) * g(x)$

$h(x) = 80x * (x+7)$

$h(x) = 80x*x + 80x*7$

$h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x$

So the function that represents the total number of seats is:

$h(x) = 80x^2 + 560x$
