<span>1/2(7x-8)+2x =2-(10x+4)
Distribute
(7x-8)/2 + 2x = 2 -10x -4
combine like terms
(7x - 8)/2 + 2x = -10x - 2
Multiply both sides by 2
7x - 8 + 4x = -20x -4
Combine like terms
11x - 8 = -20x - 4
add 8 to both sides
11x = -20x + 4
add 20x to both sides
11x + 20x = 4
combine like terms
31x = 4
divide both sides by 31
x = 4/31 or </span><span>0.129.

Hope this helps :)</span>

Solve the following system of equations by substitution and select the correct answer below:
Alexxx [7]
Okay so for substitution, chose one of  of the equations to solve for x. Let's solve for the second one. So you have 2x-8y=32.
Start by adding 8y to both sides:
 2x=8y+32.
Then you have to get x by itself so you divide both sides by 2 which will give you:
 x=4y+16.

Now you have:
6x-4y=36
x=4y+16 (this was 2x-8y=32)

Now, plug in the second equation to the first one. You would do so by plugging in the second equation to where you see x. You would have:
6(4y+16)-4y=36

Now, multiply the 6 with the 4y and 16. you would then have:
24y+96-4y=36.

Now, combine your like terms to get:
20y+96=36
Then subtract 96 to both sides:
20y=-60
Then divide both sides so that you have y all by itself:
y=-30!

You now have the answer for y, so now plug what you got for y into the other equation: x+4y=16: 
x+4(-30)=60
Solve for x:
x-120=60 
add 120 to both sides:
x=180!
so Your answer is Y=-30 and X=180

I hope this helped:)

PLEASE HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIST <br><br> Write an equation in Standard Form that has roots -4 and 7.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

x^{2} -3x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this equation in standard form, first, write it in factored form. This looks like y=(x+4)(x-7). Then, multiply the polynomials using the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method.

  1. Following the FOIL method, you should multiply the first terms in each binomial, x*x, which equals x^{2}.
  2. Then, the outside terms, x*-7. This equals -7x.
  3. Next, the inside terms, 4*x=4x.
  4. Finally, the last terms, 4*-7, this equals -28.

Then, add all of the terms together x^{2} + -7x+4x+-28. To get the standard form, combine like terms, this comes out to x^{2} -3x-28.

In a certain chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 9. A jar of the chemical contains 396 grams of copper. How many grams
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

176 grams of zinc.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/9 = x/396 where x = the number of grams of zinc.

Cross multiply:

9x = 4*396

x = 4*396/9

x = 176 grams.
