If you were asked to describe how you would solve for an unknown value in an equation, how would you explain that process? Give it a try here, using the equation
given as a step by step example to go along with your explanation. Be as detailed as
possible for each step of the solution.
3(x - 2) = 5x – 14

4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 2) = 5x - 14      (given)

3x -6 = 5x -14          (Distribute the "3" to "x" and "2")

-2x -6 = -14              (subtract "5x" from both sides)

-2x = -8                    (Subtract "-6" from both sides)

x = 4                         (divide both sides with "-2")

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

(w – 2.5)(w + 2.5)
