-4(x + 1) + 7x = 8
-4x - 4 + 7x = 8
3x - 4 = 8
3x = 8 + 4
3x = 12
x = 12/3
x = 4 <===
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Equation one:
x = -5, x = -1 (Both are real)
Equation two:
No real solutions
Equation three:
x = -3 (Real)
Equation four:
No real solutions
2.
The easiest way to figure out if an equation has real solutions is to factor it. If it is factorable, then it has real solutions. If it isn't, then it doesn't have real solutions.
3 times. Draw a line 1 unit up, and you can see that there are 3 intersections.
