Answer:
x = 10
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 4 = 16 try to get x on the left side, and the integers on the right
You then get:
2x = 20
Now, divide by 2 on both sides
2x/2 = 20/2
<u>x = 10</u>
Answer:
68.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a slash = slash or a proportion
12 to 350 as x to 2000
Answer:
-x² + 8x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write expression
(7 - x)(x - 1)
Step 2: FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
7x - 7 - x² + x
Step 3: Combine like terms
-x² + 8x - 7
<span>Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.
A. t + 4; t ≠ 8 B. - t + 4; t ≠ - 8 C. t - 4; t ≠ - 8 D. - t - 4; t ≠ 8
I think it would be C.

Answer:
15, -26
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>generic solution</em> to a "sum and difference" problem can be found easily. Let "a" and "b" represent the numbers you seek, and let "s" and "d" represent their sum and difference:
a + b = s
a - b = d
Adding these two equations tells you ...
2a = s + d
a = (s + d)/2 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
You can find "b" several different ways. One way is to subtract the second equation from the first:
2b = s - d
b = (s - d)/2 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b
So, the second number can be found from any of ...
- b = s - a
- b = a - d
- b = (s - d)/2
____
For the numbers given here, s=-11, d=41, the two numbers are ...
a = (-11 +41)/2 = 15
b = -11 -15 = -26
The two numbers are 15 and -26.
