Select the correct answer.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point of intersection f(x) = g(x), thus

10x - 6 = x + 12 ( subtract x from both sides )

9x - 6 = 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )\

x = 2 ← at point of intersection

Which could be the first step in simplifying this expression? Check all that apply. (x^3x^-6)^2
allsm [11]
If the expression is what I understand it is, this is my answer. (x to the third times x to the negative sixth all squared)

First, i would simplify what is inside the parentheses. x^-6 is the equivalent to
1/x^6. Therefore, the expression inside the parentheses is a fraction: x^3/x^6.

When dividing numbers with exponents, just subtract the exponents. 
3-6= -3     so the simplification of the expression in the parentheses is 1/x^3.

To finish the problem, I would apply the square from outside the parentheses to the values inside them. In this way, the exponent would be multiplied by 2.

Our final answer is 1/x^6.

Describe and correct the error in writing an equation of the line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 7.
olganol [36]

Answer:

The mistake they made was they switched the slope and y-intercept.

The correct answer is y=2x+7 because when we write an equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) you replace m with the slope and b with the y-intercept.

Hope this helps! <3
