Remark
One of the things you need to do is learn to read phrase by phrase.
What is the quotient of a number and 7? That meas you have a number, x, and it is divided by 7. What you do that the answer you get is the quotient.
x/7 is what you know so for. Now the first part says you take 12 away from that.
x/7 - 12 is what you have after doing that.
The result you get is - 2
x/7 - 12 = - 2 Add 12 to both sides
x/7 - 12 + 12 = - 2 + 12
x/7 = 10 Now multiply by 7
x = 10 *7
x = 70 <<< Answer the number is 70
Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)= 286
Step 2: Take out the parentheses.
x+x+1+x+2+x+3= 286
Step 3: Combine like terms.
4x+6= 286
Step 4: Subtract 6 from both sides.
4x+6 -6= 286 -6
Step 5: Divide 4 on both sides.
4x/4 = 280/4
x=70
Which means the answer is 70, 71, 72, 73
Check Work:
70+71+72+73= 286
So this is correct :)
The rate of change is meaning the slope. The slope of A is 8, therefore, the answer would be 7.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = 4 is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
given = x ( square both sides )
x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )
x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.
x = 4 : = = 4 = x ← correct
x = - 3 : = = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false
the answer is x = 4
2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3
