14=7(2x-4)
I have to solve this equation using two different methods and I don’t know how

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14=7(2x-4)

0r, 14/7 = 2x-4

or, 2= 2x-4

0r,2x= 6

or x=3

14=7(2x-4)

14=14x -28

14x=42

x=42/14=3

Answer 2

Method 1

Divide both sides by 7 first to get

14 = 7(2x-4)

14/7 = 7(2x-4)/7

2 = 2x-4

Then add 4 to both sides

2+4 = 2x-4+4

6 = 2x

2x = 6

Finally, divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

which is the final answer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2

Distribute the 7 through to each term in the parenthesis

14 = 7(2x-4)

14 = 7*2x + 7*(-4)

14 = 14x - 28

Then we follow similar steps as done earlier. Add 28 to both sides

14+28 = 14x-28+28

42 = 14x

14x = 42

Then divide both sides by 14 to fully isolate x

14x/14 = 42/14

x = 3

Either way we get the same result. As to which method you pick (if you could only choose one), its up to you based on whichever you find easier.

The basic idea with either method is that we follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo everything happening to x. This way we fully isolate it.

----------------

Checking the answer:

Plug x = 3 into the original equation. Simplify to get

14 = 7(2x-4)

14 = 7(2*3-4)

14 = 7(6-4)

14 = 7*2

14 = 14

This confirms the answer. As you can see, if we know the value of x, we use PEMDAS to simplify both sides. But if we don't know x, and want to find it, then we follow PEMDAS in reverse.

Graph 3 has an odd degree.

From the attachments, we have the following highlights

The first graph crosses the x-axis, 4 timesThe second graph crosses the x-axis, 6 timesThe third graph cross the x-axis, 3 timesThe fourth graph cross the x-axis, 2 times

The above highlights mean that:

Graphs 1, 2 and 4 have even degrees, because they have an even number of  x-interceptsGraphs 3 have an odd degree, because it has an odd number of  x-intercepts

Hence, graph 3 has an odd degree.

endpoint K. (Section 1.3)

Answers

Answer:

(6,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

let coordinates of K be (x,y) then

[tex]0=\frac{-6+x}{2}\\or~-6+x=0\\x=6\\1=\frac{3+y}{2}\\y+3=2\\y=2-3=-1\\so ~K~is ~(6,-1)[/tex]

The coordinates of endpoint K will be (6,-1).

What is coordinate geometry?

A coordinate plane is a 2D plane that is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines known as the x-axis and y-axis. The midpoint of a line segment is known as the midpoint in geometry. It is the centroid of the segment and of the ends, and it is equally distant from both of them. It cuts the section in half.

Given that the midpoint of JK is M(0, 1). One endpoint is (-6, 3). The other end will be calculated as below:-

0 = ( -6 + x ) / 2

-6 + x = 0

x = 6

The value of the y coordinate will be calculated as below:-

y = 2 - 3 = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of endpoint K will be (6,-1).

Max has 40 fruits consisting of Apples, Mangos, and Peaches. Max has 5 more Apples than Mangos. He also
has four times as many Apples as Peaches. How many Apples does Max have?

Answers

Answer:7.5 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mangoes be represented by m

Max has 5 more Apples than Mangos.

Therefore apples = m + 5

Max has four times as many Apples as Peaches. Therefore, peaches = 4(m+5) = 4m + 20

Mangoes = m

Apples = m+5

Peaches = 4m+20

Mangoes + Apples + Peaches = 40

m + m+5 + 4m+ 20 = 40

6m+25 = 40

6m = 40 - 25

6m = 15

m = 15/6

m = 2.5

Apples = m+5 = 2.5 + 5 = 7.5

Max has 7.5 apples

During the summer, the height of the water in the pool decreased by 5 inches each week due to evaporation. What is the change in the height of the water over an 8 week period?

Answers

Answer:

40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of water in a pool decreased 5 inches per week.

This means that we can form the equation [tex]y=-5x[/tex], since the amount of water remaining is proportionate to the amount of weeks that have passed.

We know [tex]x=8[/tex], since we need to find the change for 8 weeks.

[tex]y = -5\cdot 8[/tex]

[tex]-5 \cdot 8 = -40[/tex]

[tex]y=-40[/tex]

The change will be the absolute value of -40, which just makes it positive, so 40.

Hope this helped!
