Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute

3(x - 6) + 6 = 5x - 4

3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 4

2) Add the numbers

3x - 18 + 6 = 5x - 4

3x - 12 = 5x - 4

3) Add 12 to both sides

3x - 12 = 5x - 4

3x - 12 + 12 = 5x - 4 + 12

4) Simplify

Add The Numbers:

3x - 12 + 12 = 5x - 4 + 12

3x = 5x - 4 + 12

Add the numbers:

3x = 5x - 4 + 12

3x = 5x + 8

5) Subtract 5x from both sides

3x = 5x + 8

3x - 5x = 5x + 8 - 5x

6) Simplify

Combine like terms:

3x - 5x = 5x + 8 - 5x

-2x = 5x + 8 - 5x

Combine like terms:

-2x = 5x + 8 - 8

-2x = 8

7) Divide both sides by each factor

-2x = 8

-2x/-2 = 8/-2

8) Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:

-2x/2 = 8/-2

Divide the numbers:
x = 8/-2

x = -4

Solution:

x = -4

Someone help, I just need the answers, no explanation or non of that
liraira [26]

Answer:

5). x = 15

7). JL = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve these problems with the help of midsegment theorem.

Midsegment theorem:

"Segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel and half the measure of third side of the triangle"

Question 5

8x - 23 = \frac{1}{2}(10x+44)

8x - 23 = 5x + 22

8x - 5x = 22 + 23

3x = 45

x = 15

Therefore, x = 15 is the answer.

Question 7

Since, MN is the midsegment,

MN = \frac{1}{2}(JL)

5x - 16 = \frac{1}{2}(4x+34)

5x - 16 = 2x + 17

5x - 2x = 17 + 16

3x = 33

x = 11

Therefore, Length of JL = 4(11) + 34

                                        = 44 + 34

                                        = 78 units

Find the inverse of the function.
nikklg [1K]
The equation that is given in this item can be mathematically expressed as,
    f(x) = (x/7)^(1/3) - 9

The expression f(x) can be replaced with y such that the equation can also be written as,
    y = (x/7)^(1/3) - 9

The first thing that needs to be done to get the inverse of the function is to interchange the positions of x and y. In this equation, that becomes,
   x = (y/7)^(1/3) - 9

Then, solve for the value of y in terms of x.
 Transpose the constant to the other side of the equation.
 x + 9 = (y/7)^(1/3)

Raise the whole equation by 3 in order to eliminate the radical.
  (x+9)³ = (y/7)
Multiply the equation by 7 to eliminate the fraction.
  (x+9)³(7) = y

Thus, the inverse of the function is equal to
<em>  f⁻¹(x) = 7(x+9)³

</em>

Find the y- intercept and x-intercept of the line. <br><br> 4x-y=8
Darya [45]

Answer:

x-intercept is (2,0)

y-intercept is (0,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the 'x-intercept', substitute zero for 'y' and solve:

4x - 0 = 8

4x = 8

x = 2;  x-intercept is (2,0)

4(0) - y = 8

0 - y = 8

y = -8; y-intercept is (0,-8)
