Solve for x:
4(1 – x) + 2 x = -3( x + 1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4(1 – x) + 2 x = -3( x + 1)

first do 4 time 1= 4

then do 4 times x =4x

now the equation should look like this

4-4x+2x=-3(x+1)

then do the other side of the equation

-3(x+1)

=-3x-3

Now collect the like terms:

-4x-2x

now the equation should look like this

4-2x=-3x-3

now add 3x add on both sides

4-2x+3x=-3

put the 4 on the other side

-2x+3x=-3-4

now again collect the like terms (-2x+3x=1 which is just x and -3-4 =-7)

x=-7

answer

x=-7

Answer:

  [tex]x=-7[/tex]                    PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4(1-x)+2x=-3(x+1)[/tex]

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

[tex]4-4x+2x=-3(x+1)[/tex]

Distribute -3 through the parentheses

[tex]4-4x+2x=-3x-3[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]-4x+2x[/tex]

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficient

[tex](-4+2)x[/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex]-2x[/tex]

[tex]4-2x=-3x-3[/tex]

Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign

[tex]4-2x+3x=-3[/tex]

Why move an expression to the right?

We want to move an expression to the right to write the equation in a specific way.

The opposite needs to be added to both sides to preserve the relation between the sides. That is called the addition and subtraction property of equality/inequality

Step 1

Example

take the equation:

[tex]x+a=b[/tex]

We want the expression a to be on the right hand side of the equation.

Step 1

example(cont)

To move the expression to the right -hand side, use the addition property , and add -a to both sides of the equation:

[tex]x+a+(-a)=b+(-a)[/tex]

Simplify the left hand side and remove the parentheses on the right hand side:

[tex]x+a+(-a)=b+(-a)\\x=b-a[/tex]

Now the expression a is on the right hand side :

[tex]x=b-a[/tex]

Step 2:

Notice! when comparing  the beginning and the ending equation, it seems like we just moved the expression to the right hand side and changed its sign:

[tex]x+a=b\\x=b-a[/tex]

This is a shorter way to use the same property.

Now came back to the original equation

[tex]4-2x+3x=-3[/tex]

Move constant to to the right hand side and change its sign

[tex]-2x+3x=-3-4[/tex]

collect like terms

[tex]x=-3-4[/tex]

calculate the difference

[tex]x=-7[/tex]

Why move a constant to the right?

We want to move a constant to the right because the mathematicians agreed upon a convention that the constants in the equation and inequalities always need to be on the right-hand side.

The opposite needs to be added to both sides to preserve the relation between the sides. That is called the addition and subtraction property of equality/inequality.

Step 1

example

Take the equation:

[tex]x+3=5[/tex]

We want the constant 3to be on the right hand side of the equation.

Step 1

example (cont)

To move the constant to the right-hand side, use the addition property, and add -3 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]x+3+(-3)=5+(-3)[/tex]

Simplify the left-hand side and remove the parentheses on the right - hand side:

[tex]x+3+(-3)=5+(-3)\\x=5- 3[/tex]

Now , all the constants are on the right- hand side:

[tex]x=5-3[/tex]

Step 2

Notice! when comparing the beginning and the ending equation, it seems like we just moved the constants to the right hand side and change its sign:

[tex]x+3=5\\x=5-3[/tex]

This is a shorter way to use the same property.

PLEASE HELP Michaels home is 12 feet below sea level in his mothers home is 12 feet above sea level Michael says their homes are at opposite elevation is because they are in opposite directions is he correct? Explain. I only have 2 more days to finish my work!​

Answers

Answer:

Yes, he is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Michael's home with M and his mother's with H

So, we have:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex]

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex]

Required

Is Michael correct?

First, we get the numeric values of the given parameters.

Below sea level means negative:

So:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]M = -12[/tex]

Above sea level means positive:

So:

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]H = 12[/tex]

Two numbers [tex]A\ and\ B[/tex] are said to be opposite if [tex]A + B=0[/tex]

For Michael to be correct:

[tex]M + H = 0[/tex]

Substitute values for M and H

[tex]-12 + 12 = 0[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

Hence, Michael is correct

Mr. T's Tea store has two kinds of tea. Tea A costs $9 per pound and Tea B cost $6 per pound. How many pounds of each should be combined to obtain 150 pounds of tea worth $8 per pound? ​

Answers

Answer:

y=447.3 pounds

x= 297.3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Tea A costs $9 per pound and

Tea B cost $6 per pound.

let the number of pounds of Tea A be x

and for Tea B be y pounds

The total cost of the mixture = $8 per pound

hence

9x+6y=8---------1

The total weight of the mixture

150 pounds

x+y=150-----------2

Step two:

9x+6y=8---------1

x+y=150---------2

from eqn 2 x=150-y

put x= 150-y in eqn 1

9(150-y)+6y=8---------1

1350-9y+6y=8

1350-8=9y-6y

1342=3y

divide both sides by 3

y= 1342/3

y=447.3 pounds

put y= 447.3 in eqn 2

x+447.3= 150

x= 150-446=7.3

x= -297.3

x= 297.3 pounds

What is 4/5 + 3/4 I need it for my homework

Answers

Answer:

4/5 + 3/4 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by first finding the highest common factors of denominators of the two fractions, i.e. 4 and 5.

The highest common factor of 4 and 5 can be found by multiplying the two numbers as follows:

The highest common factor of 4 and 5 = 4 * 5 = 20

This can now be used to solve  4/5 + 3/4 as follows:

4/5 + 3/4 = ((4 * 4) + (5 * 3)) / 20 = (16 + 15) / 20 = 31 / 20 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

Therefore, we have:

4/5 + 3/4 = [tex]1\frac{11}{20}[/tex] or 1.55

the length of a rectangular feild exceeds its breadth by 15m and perimeter is 90m. Find its area​

Answers

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = l

Breadth = b

l = 15 + b

Perimeter = 90

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

90 = 2(15 + b + b)

90 = 2(15 + 2b)

90 = 30 + 4b

90 - 30 = 4b

60 = 4b

60/4 = b

15 = b

Hence, l = 15 + 15 = 30

Area = l * b

Area = 30 * 15

Area = 450 unit²

Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find the point slope equation of the line.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the point-slope equation of the line

We start by getting the y-intercept of the line which is y = 3

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where b is the y-intercept

So, we have;

y = mx + 3

Now, to get m , we insert the point given on the like which is (2,-5)

x = 2 and y = -5

-5 = 2m + 3

-8 = 2m

m = -8/2

m = -4

So the equation of the line is;

y = -4x + 3

This is same as option B

Kim and Danielle each improved their yards by planting hostas and ivy. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kim spent $62 on 5 hostas and 4 pots of ivy. Danielle spent $144 on 8 hostas and 12 pots of ivy. What is the cost of one hosta?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of one hosta is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.

Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied.

In this case, the variables are:

x = price of a hosta .y = price of a pot of ivy.

If Kim spent $62 on 5 hostas and 4 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 5*x +4*y= 62

If Danielle spent $144 on 8 hostas and 12 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 8*x +12*y=144

So, the system of equations to solve is:

[tex]\left \{ {{5*x+4*y=62} \atop {8*x+12*y=144}} \right.[/tex]

One way to solve a system of equations is through the substitution method, which consists of solving or isolating one of the unknowns (for example, x) and substituting its expression in the other equation. In this way, you obtain an equation of the first degree with the other unknown, and. Once solved, you calculate the value of x by substituting the already known value of y.

Isolating y from the first equation:

[tex]y=\frac{62-5*x}{4}[/tex]

and replacing this expression in the second equation you get:

[tex]8*x +12*\frac{62-5*x}{4}=144[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]8*x +\frac{12}{4}*(62-5*x)=144[/tex]

8*x + 3*(62-5*x)=144

8*x + 3*62 - 3*5*x=144

8*x + 186 - 15*x=144

8*x  - 15*x=144 -186

(-7)*x= -42

x= (-42)÷ (-7)

x= 6

The cost of one hosta is $6

Allaround its border were colorful flowering plants that attractedbees, birds, and butterflies. Lily loved kneeling beside Mam,who always seemed happiest with her hands in the soil.3 Our tomatoes should be ready, said Mam, as they strolledthe three blocks to Mariposa. They carried extra bags to holdtheir harvest.4 We can give some to Mr. and Mrs. Michiko, next door,suggested Lily.

Shewrote about her special time in the garden with Mam and howmuch it meant to her.17 Soon, the whole neighborhood was talking about Lilys letterand the petition.
