Answer:
It is increasing before x = -2 and from x = 0 to x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Option 1 - you can see the line going down starting at -2 and that means the line is decreasing but the choice says "It is increasing before x = 0". This contradicts the actual graph.
Option 2 - The line isn't increasing before x= -1, it's actually decreasing as seen in the graph.
Option 3 - The line doesn't even touch the point before x = -3 so this choice makes no sense.
Option 4 - Since all the other choices were eliminated this is the only choice standing. Looking at the line it is increasing before x = -2.
Answer:
x = -1.5

- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 0.2x on both sides: 1 = 1.4x + 3.1
- Subtract 3.1 on both sides: -2.1 = 1.4x
- Divide both sides by 1.4: -1.5 = x
- Rewrite: x = -1.5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitution: 0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1
- Multiply: -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1
- Add: 0.7 = 0.7
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use the SAS area formula. This is:
Given the triangle ABC, you know that:
Therefore, substituting these values into the formula, you get that the area of the triangle ABC is:
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
x+7-4x=19-2x
-3x+2x=19-7
-x=12
x=-12
