We are given the function –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.

Answer:

<em>X ball bearings will be made in 1 hour and 20 minutes</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions </u>

The proportions give us an important tool to easily solve common problems of any type. We know that:

Company ABC can make X ball bearings in 3 hours.

Company DEF can make X ball bearings in 4 hours.

Company GHI can make X ball bearings in 6 hours.

In one hour, each company can make

ABC: X/3 ball bearings

DEF: X/4 ball bearings

GHI: X/6 ball bearings

Working together, they can make

\displaystyle \frac{X}{3}+\frac{X}{4}+\frac{X}{6}

ball bearings. Operating

\displaystyle \frac{4X+3X+2X}{12}=\frac{9X}{12}=\frac{3X}{4}

If they can make 3/4 of a ball bearing in one hour, then one complete ball bearing will need

\displaystyle \frac{4}{3} hours to complete. It's equivalent to 1 1/3 hours or 1 hour and 20 minutes

X ball bearings will be made in 1 hour and 20 minutes

Eva8 [605]
Let:
x = hours of travel
y = velocity

slope= rise/run slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) 
(x1,y1) = (2,50) (x2,y2) = (6,54) 
sub values back into the equation m = (54-50)/(6-2) m = 1 
POINT SLOPE FORMy-y1 = m(x-x1) y-50= 1(x-2) y = x -2 +50
y = x + 48

B) 

the graph within the first seven hours can be obtained at point B

x = 7

y = 7+48 = 55

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.

nikitadnepr [17]
The first inequality has solution
  4p > -8 . . . . . . subtract 1
  p > -2 . . . . . . . divide by 4
This is graphed as an open dot at -2, with shading to the right.

Neither inequality symbol includes "or equal to", so both dots are open dots. The appropriate choice is the first one:
