Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, distrubute 2 to our parentheses (2x - 10). Now, let's add our like terms, 2x - 10 = 4x + 6 since x alone is one we add this to 3x, equaling 4x. Then we're going to move our variable and sign, 2x - 10 - 4x = 6. Alright, now combine like terms and calculate (2x - 4x), we know when we subtract two and four, it's a negative 2, -2x = 6 + 10 = 16. Now divide both sides of the equation by -2, 16 divided by -2 is -8. Therefore, x = -8, hope this helped! Have a great day!

$7(3+4i)$ is equivalent to $21+28i$

Option D is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equivalent to the given expression:

$7(3+4i)$

To solve the expression multiply 7 with the terms inside the bracket

$7(3+4i)\\=7(3)+7(4i)\\=21+28i$

So, $7(3+4i)$ is equivalent to $21+28i$

Option D is correct option

The number of loaves of bread purchased and the total cost of the bread in dollars can be modeled by the equation c = 3.5b. Whic

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Loaves of bread: b can't be a negative value, then the first table doesn't include viable solutions.

The number of loaves of bread must be a whole number, then the second table doesn't include viable solutions.

c=3.5b

if b=0→c=3.5(0)→c=0

If b=3→c=3.5(3)→c=10.5

If b=6→c=3.5(6)→c=21

If b=9→c=3.5(9)→c=31.5

The third table includes viable solutions
