Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use the distributive property
5 ( x - 7 ) = 6 ( x + 2 ) → 5x - 35 = 6x + 12
2. Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation
5x - 5x -35 = 6x - 5x + 12 → -35 = x + 12
3. Subtract 12 from both sides
-35 - 12 = x + 12 - 12 → -47 = x
4. So, the answer is
Answer:
A. between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea here is that if a function is continuous and you have points on opposite sides of the x-axis, then there must be a zero-crossing between those points. As the table and graph show, ...
... (3.0, 4.0) and (3.5, -0.2)
are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero crossing between x=3.0 and x=3.5.
Likewise, ...
... (4.0, -0.8) and (4.5, 0.1)
are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero-crossing between x=4.0 and x=4.5
The appropriate answer choice lists both of these possible zero crossings.
