Given equation :
.
Strategy 1: We can cross mutiply both sides remove fraction form.
On cross multiplication, we get
x * 7 = 3 * 42
7x = 126.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
<h3>
x = 18.</h3>
Strategy 2: We can find least common denominator(lcd) of both sides and multiplying both sides by that lcd to get rid denominators from both sides.
LCD of 42 and 7 is 42.
Therefore, multiplying both sides by 42, we get

x = 6 * 3
<h3>x = 18.</h3>
Answer:
32/4
simplified is 8/1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
b=bench
852=b+(b-98) since the table is less than the bench by 98$
852-b=b-98
950-b=b
950=2b
475=b
Assuming the missing parenthesis is at the end the simplified answer should be k-8
Function 1:
f(x) = -x² + 8(x-15)f(x) = -x² <span>+ 8x - 120
Function 2:
</span>f(x) = -x² + 4x+1
Taking derivative will find the highest point of the parabola, since the slope of the parabola at its maximum is 0, and the derivative will allow us to find that.
Function 1 derivative: -2x + 8 ⇒ -2x + 8 = 0 ⇒ - 2x = -8 ⇒ x = -8/-2 = 4
Function 2 derivative: -2x+4 ⇒ -2x + 4 = 0 ⇒ -2x = -4 ⇒ x = -4/-2 ⇒ x= 2
Function 1: f(x) = -x² <span>+ 8x - 120 ; x = 4
f(4) = -4</span>² + 8(4) - 120 = 16 + 32 - 120 = -72
<span>
Function 2: </span>f(x) = -x²<span> + 4x+1 ; x = 2
</span>f(2) = -2² + 4(2) + 1 = 4 + 8 + 1 = 13
Function 2 has the larger maximum.
