Answer:

x = - 3 / 2 ( in decimal form = - 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x - 1) - 8x = -3(x + 5)

left side: 9(x - 1) - 8x

Expand... 9x - 9 - 8x

             = (9x - 8x) - 9

             = 1x - 9 or <em>x - 9</em>

right side: -3(x + 5)

Expand... <em>-3x - 15</em>

         

combine :

x - 9 = -3x - 15

Add 9 to both sides to get x alone

x - 9 + 9 = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 6

Add 3x to both sides

x + 3x  = -3x - 6 + 3x

simplified, 4x = -6

Now divided 4 from both sides

4x / 4 = -6 / 4

simplify, x = -6 / 4

You can reduce the fraction by dividing it by 2

(-6 / 2) / (4 / 2) = -3 / 2

Hope this helps, Let me know if you have any questions !

Have a nice day :)

Answer: 7. g = -50, 8. f= 340/6 9. 3 10 .125

Step-by-step explanation:#7 g(3): 4(3)^2 +6 =12^2 +6 = 1444=6= 150. We divide 150 by 3 giving us -50.  #8We start by putting f(6): -3(6)^2 -4(6) +8. We use PEMDAS. -18^2 -24 +8 = _324-24+8 F= 340/6 #9 g(15) = Square root of 15-6=9 and the square root of 9 is 3, therefore, the answer is 3. #10 h (x) = 2^x we plug -3 to 2^-3. It is a negative number and it gives us .125 or 12.5
