Please solve, -7x+8=-4(x+1)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]x=4[/tex]

Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex]-7x+8=-4(x+1)\\-7x+8=(-4)(x)+(-4)(1)(Distribute)\\-7x+8=-4x+-4[/tex]

Add 4x to both sides

[tex]-7x+8+4x=-4x-4+4x\\-3x+8=-4[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides

[tex]-3x+8-8=-4-8\\-3x=-12[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex]-3x/-3=-12/-3\\x=4[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first simplify the equation.  

-7x+8= -4x-4                    

You get -4x-4 by distributing the -4 into the numbers in the parenthesis because -4 is right outside the parenthesis.

-4 times x= -4x

-4 times 1= -4

-7x+8= -4x-4

Next, move the -4x to where the -7x is because we want to combine like terms.  When a number moves to the opposite side, it changes from positive to negative or negative to positive.  Like here: -4x moves to a different side, so it becomes +4x.  

-7x+4x+8= -4  

Do the same for 8.  Since -4 is on the other side, move 8 to that side.  It turns from +8 to -8.

-7x+4x= -4-8

Combine like terms and solve.  

-7x+4x= -3x

-4-8= -12

So we have this now: -3x= -12

Since 12 divided by 3 is 4, and negative with negative is positive, it becomes positive 4. :)

Answer:

(x-3)^2 = 5

x = 3 ±sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers

Answer:

D. Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that Dimitri and Jillian were trying to solve is expressed as

(x+1)(x+3) = 12. They are both solving this equation to get the value of x.

Based on the their suggestion, Jillian strategy would have been the best and the only one that will work for us in solving the equation but he didn't take cognizance of 12 when using the formula in his second step hence None of them are correct. The following steps should have been taken;

Step 1: Multiply out the expression (x+1)(x+3)

= (x+1)(x+3)

= x(x)+ 3x+x+1(3)

= x² + 3x + x + 3

= x² + 4x + 3

He got x² + 4x + 3 on expansion

Step 2: He should have rewrote the equation as shown;

x² + 4x + 3 = 12

x² + 4x + 3 -12 = 0

x² + 4x -9 = 0

Step 3: He used the quadratic formula to factorize the expression x² + 4x + 3 where a = 1, b = 4 anad c = -9

x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

x = (-4±√(4)²-4(1)(-9))/2(1)

x = -4±√16+36/2

x = (-4±2√13)/2

x = (-4+2√13)/2 or  (-4-2√13)/2

x = -2+√13 or -2-√13

Hence Neither of them is correct. Jillian is almost correct but he should have equated the equation to zero by taking 12 into consideration before factorizing.

At 11:00 a.m., John started driving along a highway at constant speed of 50 miles per hour. A quarter of an hour later, Jimmy started driving along the same highway in the same direction as John at the constant speed of 65 miles per hour. At what time will Jimmy catch up with John?

Answers

Answer:

12:05 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z be the number of hours, from 11:00 am, when Jimmy would catch up with John. The time that Jimmy will have to drive to catch up with John is z - 1/4 as he started a quarter of an hour late. When Jimmy would catch up with John, they would have traveled the same distance. Hence

50 z = 65 (z - 1/4)

Solve for t

50z = 65z - 65/4

z = 65/60 = 1.083 hours = 1 hour and 5 minutes

Answers

Answer:

Answer: D : Median, because there is 1 outlier that affects the center

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean and median terms are use to measure the central tendency in a data set.

Mean is the best measure of center if there is no outlier present in the data otherwise median is the best measure of center if there is outlier present because outliers effects the means value of a data but not the median value.

In the third period, there is an outlier present as 8 that affects the center, then the best measure of center for third period must be Median.

after allowing 5 percent discount on the marked price of a radio 10 percent vat is charged on it , then its price became rs 1672 .how much amount was given in the discount​

Answers

Answer:

Marked price= RS 1600

Discount= RS 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x= the marked price

Discount= 5%

Discount = 5% of x

=0.05x

Cost after discount = x-0.05x

= 0.95x

Vat=10%

=0.1

Cost of the radio including vat=0.95x + 0.1(0.95x)

=0.95x + 0.095x

=1.045x

Price became rs 1672

Therefore,

1.045x=1672

Divide both sides by 1.045

x= RS 1600

Discount=5% of 1600

=0.05 * 1600

=rs 80

Answer: Choice A) 148 degrees

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let point A be the center of the circle.

Arc DCF is 316 degrees. Arc FG is 20 degrees. Subtracting the arc measures gives 316-20 = 296 which is the measure of arc DCG, and by extension, it is the measure of reflex angle DAG. The acute angle DAG is 360-296 = 64 degrees

Triangle DAG is isosceles with AD = AG, so the base angles are ADG and AGD. Let's call each of these angles x for now. The sum of the three angles add to 180

x+x+64 = 180

2x+64 = 180

2x = 180-64

2x = 116

x = 116/2

x = 58

Therefore angle ADG is 58 degrees. It adds to angle ADB = 90 to get 90+58 = 148, which is the measure of angle BDG.

Note: angle ADB is 90 because tangent BD forms a right angle with the radius AD.

Another note: angle ADG is half that of the arc it cuts off, so in a sense it's similar to an inscribed angle

225125 in base 6 divided by 101 in base 6

Answers

225125₆/101₆ = 2225₆

One way to arrive at this is to convert both given numbers to base 10, compute the quotient in base 10, then convert back to base 6.

101₆ = 1×6² + 0×6¹ + 1×6⁰ = 37

225125₆ = 2×6⁵ + 2×6⁴ + 5×6³ + 1×6² + 2×6¹ + 5×6⁰ = 19,277

So we have

225125₆/101₆ = 19,277/37 = 521

Next,

521 = 2×216 + 89 = 2×6³ + 89

89 = 2×36 + 17 = 2×6² + 17

17 = 2×12 + 5 = 2×6¹ + 5×6⁰

and so

521 = 2×6³ + 2×6² + 2×6¹ + 5×6⁰ = 2225₆
