X=4

Explanation: 42-3x=30
So you subtract 42 on each side leaving you with -3x=-12 and then you divide by -3 on each side meaning -12/-3 which leaves you with x=4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by diving each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Where is the mistake in the following problem?
ololo11 [35]
1) 3/12

Because 1/3 would have changed to 4/12,
1x4= 4
3x4=12
You need to multiply them by the same number and 1) was multiplied by three on the numerator and four on the denominator.

Find the midpoint of (0,4) and (-4,-12)
ankoles [38]
The answer is (-2,-4) to solve this you need to add the X’s and divide by 2 and that will be your X for the midpoint, you do the same with the Y’s to find the y for your midpoint

Please help me with the questions
Grace [21]

Answer:

x = 5

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 4) = 8x - 12

2x + 4 = 4x - 6

x + 2 = 2x - 3

x = 5

Question 17

8/4 = (x + 2)/(2x - 2)

2(2x - 2) = x + 2

4x - 4 = x + 2

3x = 6

x = 2

Example 2:
Montano1993 [528]
Taking this example into account, we can see that setting the first value equal to 1, we obtain that F(x)=0.5x+1=4 and x=6. Using this information, we find that F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(6+1)+1=4.5. It shows that when x is positive, the succussive terms are increasing.

Referring to that finding, if we set initial value less than zero, which means that we are solving 0.5x+1<0 and taking a number in the interval of the solution, which means x ∈ (- ∞, -20). Setting x=-19, we find that F(x)=0.5x+1=-19 and x=-40. In the next iteration, F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(1-40)+1=-18.5. In the next iteration, F(x+2)=0.5(x+2)+1=0.5(2-40)+1=-18. By this way, we find that even if the initial value is less than zero, value of the successive iterations is increasing. 

Using the function g(x)=-x+2 and taking the initial value equal to 4, we find that g(x)=-x+2=4 and x=-2. In the next iteration, g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=-(-2+1)+2=3. If we continue the iterations we'll see that they are decreasing.
Setting the initial value equal to 2, we find that g(x)=-x+2=2 and x=0. The next iteration is g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=1. In this case, the interations are also decreasing. 
If we set the initial value equal to 1, we find that g(x)=-x+2=1 and x=1. In the next iteration, g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=0 and the iterations are decreasing.

£440 is divided between David, Mark &amp; Henry so that David gets twice as much as Mark, and Mark gets three times as much as H
Lesechka [4]

Mark received £ 132

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that £440 is divided between David, Mark & Henry

Let "d" be the share of david

Let "m" be the share of mark

Let "h" be the share of henry

Total amount is 440

Therefore,

share of david + share of mark + share of henry = 440

d + m + h = 440 ------- eqn 1

<em><u>David gets twice as much as Mark</u></em>

d = 2m ----- eqn 2

<em><u>Mark gets three times as much as Henry</u></em>

m = 3h

h = \frac{m}{3}  ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>

2m + m + \frac{m}{3} = 440\\\\\frac{6m + 3m + m}{3} = 440\\\\10m = 1320\\\\m = 132

Thus Mark received £ 132
