Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first write out the expression

7x-4= -4x+18

We usually want to start off by moving variables to one side and numbers (intergers) to the other

We can accomplish this usually with just addition and subtraction before we move on to simplifying

Add 4 to both sides

7x-4=-4x+18

+4 +4

7x=-4x+22

now the x

lets add 4x to cancel out our -4x

7x= -4x+22

+4x +4x

11x=22

now we have 11x=22 we can solve this by dividing so 11 divided by what number gives you one

So any number divided by itself is one so in this case divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 11

11x=22

/11 /11

x=2

Hope that helps.

Summary. Move numbers around by cancelling using addition and subtraction. Once the variable is on one side and number is on the other divided by whatever number is next to x to solve for it. REMEMBER whatever you do to one side of an equation you must do to the other side.

Numbered disks are placed in a box and one disk is selected at random. If there are 6 red disks numbered 1 through 6, and 2 yell

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red disk=6

Total number of yellow disk=2

Total disk=6+2=8

Odd number=1,3,5,7=4

Odd number on red disk=1,3,5=3

Probability, $P(E)=\frac{favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

The probability of getting odd number disk= $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

The probability of getting odd numbered red disk= $\frac{3}{8}$

The probability of selecting a red disk,given that an odd numbered disk is selected= $\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3}{8}\times 2=\frac{3}{4}$

Using conditional probability

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

Let f(x)=3x-6. Is f one-to-one? If it is find f^-1, if not explain why.

beks73 [17]

Answer: Yes, $\bold{f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+6}{3}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = 3x - 6 is a line so it is a function because

it passes the vertical line test

and the horizontal line test

To find the inverse, swap the x's and y's and solve for y

$y=3x-6\\\\\\\text{Swap the x's and y's:}\qquad x=3y-6\\\\\text{Add 6 to both sides:}\qquad x+6=3y\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3:}\qquad \dfrac{x+6}{3}=y$
