Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute the equation.

2(2x+3)-2=5

4x+6-2=5

Then, you combine like terms.

4x+6-2=5

4x+4=5

Next, you subtract 4 from each side.

4x+4=5

4x+4-4=4x

5-4=1

4x=1

Finally, you divide each side by 4.

4x/4

1/4

(4x/4 you'd end up with x)

Answer: x=1/4

1) Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Maru [420]

In 1)

Line 1 has following coordinates.
(0,0) ; (1,-2) ; (2,-4)

Line 2 has following coordinates.
(0,0) ; (1,0.5) ; (2,1)

Line 3 has following coordinates.
(0,1) ; (1,1.5) ; (2,2)

If you'll draw the lines, you'll observe that Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2 and Line 3 and Line 2 and Line 3 are parallel to each other.

So,
Option D will be correct.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the sequence is 90, 86,82,.......

The common difference is 86 - 90 = -4

82 - 86 = -4

Hence the sequence is arithmetic

The function is;

t(n) = 90 + (n - 1)(-4) = 90 + 4 - 4n

t(n) = 94 - 4n

Since it is AP, we have the sequence as;

90, 86, 82, 78, 74, 70, 66, 62......

He will no longer play football after the eighth quiz.

The total points earned is the sum of the first eight terms of the AP

Sn =n/2[2a + (n - 1) d]

Sn = 8/2[2(90) + (8 - 1) (-4)]

Sn = 608 points

Help me solve this equation 3x-7=4x

Sauron [17]

Hey!

Let's write it, $3x-7=4x$
Add $7$ to both sides,
$3x-7+7=4x+7$
$3x=4x+7$
Subtract $4x$ from both sides.
$3x-4x=4x+7-4x$
$-x=7$
Since we don't want a negative variable, we have to divide both sides by $-1$ .
$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}$
Our answer would be,
$x=-7$

Thanks!
