Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the positive number x

Then multiply by 4 : 4x

Subtracted by the number which is x-4x

Then we have x-4x=-21

: -3x=-21

X= -21/-3

X= 7

Answer:

The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

certain positive number: x

x is multipled by 4:

4x

result of this is subtracted from the original number:

so original number minus 4x,

x - 4x

the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21

x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21

do algebra:

-3x = -21

multiply both sides by -1

3x = 21

divide both sides by 3

x=7

(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7

Need help with this!!

Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) slope = rise / run

2 coordinates are (-4, 0), (0, 2).

2 - 0 = 2

0 -- 4 = 4

2 / 4 = 1/2 so the slope is 0.5 or ½

2) it crosses the y axis at the average of the origin and 4.

4 + 0 = 4 / 2 = 2 so y intercept is 2.

3) in y= mx + b form

f(x) = ½x + 2, or, f(x) = 0.5x + 2

What would be the answer to 8x^6/ 8x^5 =?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In dividing two equation with variables and exponent, First you must align or rearrange the equation and group them base on their variables but don't forget the sign of each variables. Second, proceed in dividing its quantity and then subtract its exponent to the other variables having the same. So by calculating it, the answer would be  X or X^1
