x + 4 = 10

the goal is to isolate the variable (x).  you do this by doing the opposite to all of the numbers that are on the same side as the variable (x).

If you subtract 4 from the left side, you must also subtract 4 from the right side to keep the equation balanced.

x + 4   -4   = 10    -4            (-4 was added to both sides because +4 and -4 = 0)

x  + 0        = 10 - 4

x               = 6


Another example:

x - 7 = 13

x - 7     +7     = 13    + 7

x + 0            = 20

x                  = 20

Hope this helps you to understand!

What the problem is trying to show you, is that a positive number undoes a negative number and a negative number undoes a positive number meaning it changes it's value.

If I get 4 (positive number) and subtract it by 4 the answer will be 0 - the negative number -4 undid the number 4.

If I get -4 (negative number) and add 4 (positive number) the answer will be 0 - meaning the positive number 4 undid the number -4.


Hope it helped,

Use synthetic division to find P (-10) for P(x)=2x^3+14x^2-58x
Savatey [412]
The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder upon dividing a polynomial p(x) by x-c is the same as the value of p(c), so to find p(-10) you need to find the remainder upon dividing

\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}

You have

..... | 2 ...  14  ... -58
-10 |    ... -20  ... 60
--------------------------
..... | 2 ...  -6  ....  2

So the quotient and remainder upon dividing is

\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}=2x-6+\dfrac2{x+10}

with a remainder of 2, which means p(-10)=2.

Joe paid $14.00 for a board game. This is 70% of the original price ? $4.20 $20.00 $9.80 $21.00
meriva
I believe this question should be from an I-Ready test. The answer would be $20.00. Because 70% of 20.00 is 14

Dennis and Connie purchased a radio for $128. Dennis paid $36 more than Connie. How much did each pay?
never [62]

Answer:

Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.

c + c + 36 = 128

Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128

Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,

2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36

2c = 92

Divide each side by two,

2c/2 = 92/2

c = 46

Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:

46 + 46 + 36 = 128

92 + 36 = 128

128 = 128

Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.
