What is the solution to this equation? 7x-2(x - 10) = 40
O A. x= 10
O B. x= 4
O c. x = 12
O D. x= 6

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quickest and fastest way to do this is to guess and check. Simply plug in the given values one by one into a calc and you should see that x = 4 works.

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2(x - 10) = 40

Distribute

7x -2x +20 = 40

Combine like terms

5x +20 =40

Subtract 20

5x +20 -20 = 40-20

5x= 20

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
