Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 3: 12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
- Combine like terms: 8x - 14 = -6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 8x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 1
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
- Multiply: 3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: 3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Multiply: -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: -7 + 1 = -6
- Add: -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:
$468
Step-by-step explanation:
6.5x72 passengers= $468
If <u>1 inch = 30 yards</u>, <u>2 inches is 60 yards</u> and <u>1.5 inches is 45 yards</u>. This means the area of the garden is 60 * 45 or 2700 yards
Answer:
2(x - 7)(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² - 10x - 28 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(x² - 5x - 14) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 7 and + 2 , since
- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5 , thus
x² - 5x - 14 = (x - 7)(x + 2) and
2x² - 10x - 28 = 2(x - 7)(x + 2)
