Answer: 1/10 or 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

    -(-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

      7 + 4x = -6x + 8

   * subtract 7 from both sides

            4x = -6x + 1

   * Add 6x to both sides

           10 x = 1

   * Divide both sides by 10

             x = 1/10  or 0.10

Well, you’re going to start by simplifying each side of the equation.

This step makes sure that you know to distribute the negative.

-5x + [-(-7-4x)] = -2(3x-4)

Continue to simplify. Start by distributing across the parentheses.

-5x+(7+4x)= -6x+8
-5x+4x+7= -6x+8
-x+7=-6x+8

Once you can’t simplify either side any more, you try and isolate the variable onto one side.

-x+7=-6x+8
+x. +x
________
7=-5x+8

Then isolate the constants into one side.

7=-5x+8
-8. -8
______
-1=-5x

Then make sure you have the variable being multiplied only once.

-1= -5x
—. —
-5. -5

0.2=x

And then move your variable to the left.

x=0.2

The value of x that makes the equation true is 0.2


I hope that helps!!

Find the distance between the points.<br> (0,4) and (-3,4)<br> The distance is
Inessa [10]
<h3>Answer:  3 units</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

The y coordinates are identical, so we just need to focus on the x coordinates.

Going from 0 to -3 is a distance of 3 units. Drawing out a number line might help.

Or we could apply subtraction and absolute value

|x1-x2| = |0-(-3)| = |0+3| = |3| = 3

which is the same as

|x2-x1| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3

The absolute value is to ensure the result is never negative. Distance is never negative.

Side note: if the y coordinates weren't the same, then we'd have to use either the pythagorean theorem or the distance formula.

An opaque bag contains 5 green marbles 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. What is the probability of randomly picking out a marbl
anastassius [24]

Answer= .2 probability

Explanation: Since there is a total of 10 marbles, and 2 are red, you would divide the red marbles (2) out of the total marbles (10) which would get u .2. Since it’s asking for probability, we would keep .2 a decimal.
