Answer:

3 + 4 = 7  which is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you have an equation with a plain variable (that is, no exponent included), there is only one number that will work when substituted for x.

To solve it, you have to "undo" what is done to the variable. You also go in the reverse order of operations, so you do the addition/subtract first, then multiplication/division.

You also have to do the same to both sides, kind of like keeping a balance scale in balance.

In this case, we subtract 4 from both sides first:

3x + 4 -4 = 7 - 4

The + 4 - 4 cancel each other out, so you get:

3x = 3

3x means "3 times x" so you divide by 3 to undo it. I will use the / to indicate division:

3x / 3 = 3 /3  

so 1x = 1.

Since 1x is "1 times x" it is the same as x by itself, so:

x=1

AND, if we substitute 1 back into the original equation (the asterisk stands for multiply):

3 * 1 + 4 = 7

3 * 1 is 3, so:

3 + 4 = 7     which is true.

1 is the only number that works.

Hope this helped.

1. Which equation can you use to find the value of x?
Alika [10]

Answer:

It's a proportion.

2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.

Multiply the means and extremes

15x = 18

divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.

x = 1.2

For f(x) = 4x +1 and g(x) = x2 - 5, find (g/f) (x).
Softa [21]

Answer:

\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x+1

g\left(x\right)=x^2\:-\:5

As

(g/f)(x) = g(x) / f(x)

            =\:\frac{x^2\:-\:5}{4x+1}\:\:\:\:\:\:

            =\frac{x}{4}+\frac{-\frac{x}{4}-5}{4x+1}

              =\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}+\frac{-\frac{79}{16}}{4x+1}

               =\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}

Therefore,

\left(g/f\right)\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{16}-\frac{79}{16\left(4x+1\right)}

5. Explain how you could use compatible numbers to estimate 245 ÷ 3. Then estimate the quotient.​
sdas [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.

In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.

So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.

Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.

We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.

Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.

Therefore,

240 / 30 = 8

So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.
