4(x + 7) = 38

Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.

You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:

4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)

You would then solve it like a two step equation,

1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10

4x = 10

10 divided by 4 = 2.5

x = 2.5

We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.

4(2.5 + 7) = 38

10 + 28 = 38

When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.

Therefore,
x = 2.5

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!
Let's solve the equation together :)

Solve:

  • 4(x + 7) = 38      => Over here, we want to multiply x and 7 by 4, or distribute 4 to both numbers inside the parenthesis.

  • 4(x) + 4(7) = 38   =>See how I split the multiplication apart? That's called the<u> Distributive Property</u>

  • 4x + 28 = 38      => Simplify. Now subtract 28 from both sides

  • 4x = 10               =>Now that we multiply x by 4, we divide both sides to isolate x

  • x = 10/4             => Simplify

  • x = 2.5

Your answer is <u>x = 2.5</u>

<u />

<u>Check:</u>

Plug in 2.5 into our equation

  • 4(x + 7) = 38
  • 4(2.5 +7) = 38
  • 4(2.5) + 4(7) = 38
  • 10 + 28 = 38
  • 38 = 38

Both sides match so our answer is correct.

A company makes a profit of $50 per software program and $35 per video game. the company can produce at most 200 software progra
Neko [114]
Let x = software program
Let y = video game

x < 200 ; y < 300

x + y < 425

50x ; 35y

x = 200 ; y = 225
50(200) + 35(225) = 10,000 + 7,875 = 17,875

x = 125 ; y = 300
50(125) + 35(300) = 6,250 + 10,500 = 16,750

x = 175 ; y = 250
50(175)  + 35(250) = 8,750 + 8,750 = 17,500

It is more profitable to maximize production of software program when working within the limits provided.

Draw a pair of adjacent supplementary angles so that one has a measure of 15 degrees
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

the best way to to do this would be to use a protractor, if you don't have one you would have to guess on the 15 degrees, but it would be a very small angle
