Answer:

<u>4(1 – x) + 2 x = -3( x + 1)</u>

first do 4 time 1= 4

then do 4 times x =4x

now the equation should look like this

4-4x+2x=-3(x+1)

then do the other side of the equation

-3(x+1)

=-3x-3

Now collect the like terms:

-4x-2x

now the equation should look like this

4-2x=-3x-3

now add 3x add on both sides

4-2x+3x=-3

put the 4 on the other side

-2x+3x=-3-4

now again collect the like terms (-2x+3x=1 which is just x and -3-4 =-7)

x=-7

answer

x=-7

Answer:

  x=-7                    PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1-x)+2x=-3(x+1)

<u>Distribute</u> 4 through the parentheses

4-4x+2x=-3(x+1)

<u>Distribute</u> -3 through the parentheses

4-4x+2x=-3x-3

Collect like terms

-4x+2x

Collect <u>like terms</u> by calculating the sum or difference of their <u>coefficient</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>(-4+2)x<u></u>

Calculate the sum

-2x

4-2x=-3x-3

Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign

4-2x+3x=-3

Why move an expression to the right?

We want to move an expression to the right to write the equation in a specific way.

The opposite needs to be added to both sides to preserve the relation between the sides. That is called the addition and subtraction property of equality/inequality

Step 1

Example

take the equation:

x+a=b

We want the expression a to be on the right hand side of the equation.

Step 1

example(cont)

To move the expression to the right -hand side, use the addition property , and add -a to both sides of the equation:

x+a+(-a)=b+(-a)

Simplify the left hand side and remove the parentheses on the right hand side:

x+a+(-a)=b+(-a)\\x=b-a

Now the expression a is on the right hand side :

x=b-a

Step 2:

Notice! when comparing  the beginning and the ending equation, it seems like we just moved the expression to the right hand side and changed its sign:

x+a=b\\x=b-a

This is a shorter way to use the same property.

Now came back to the original equation

4-2x+3x=-3

Move <u>constant</u> to to the right hand side and change its sign

-2x+3x=-3-4

collect like terms

x=-3-4

calculate the difference

x=-7

Why move a constant to the right?

We want to move a constant to the right because the mathematicians agreed upon a convention that the constants in the equation and inequalities always need to be on the right-hand side.

The opposite needs to be added to both sides to preserve the relation between the sides. That is called the addition and subtraction property of equality/inequality.

Step 1

example

Take the equation:

x+3=5

We want the constant 3to be on the right hand side of the equation.

Step 1

example (cont)

To move the constant to the right-hand side, use the addition property, and add -3 to both sides of the equation:

x+3+(-3)=5+(-3)

Simplify the left-hand side and remove the parentheses on the right - hand side:

x+3+(-3)=5+(-3)\\x=5- 3

Now , all the constants are on the right- hand side:

x=5-3

Step 2

Notice! when comparing the beginning and the ending equation, it seems like we just moved the constants to the right hand side and change its sign:

x+3=5\\x=5-3

This is a shorter way to use the same property.

Is x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 6 a function?
oee [108]

Answer:

not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

for example

In order for an equation to represent a function any single value of x must have at most one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.

For x2+y2=9

XXXXif (for example) x=0

XXXXthere are two values for y (namely +3 and −3) which satisfy the equation

and therefore the equation is not a function.

Alice's book has 200 Pages. Alice has read 75% of the pages in her book. Nina has read the same number of pages the only 50% of
charle [14.2K]
Alice has read 150 pages, you would multiple 200 by .75 (75%). If Nina had read 50% of her book and she read 150, you multiple by 2, and get 300. So Nina has 300 pages in her book.

PLEASEEE. WIll mark brainliest
stepan [7]

Answer:

$625 (but it's really $763.14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula I=P(1+r)^t

April=25000(1.04)^5=$30416.32

May=25000(1.0375)^6=$31179.46

$31179.46-$30416.32=$763.14

So $625 is the closest answer
