Considering the linear function 6x + 18 = 72, it is found that:

A. The problem is: You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?

B. The solution is: x = 9.

C. In the context of this problem, the solution means that you made 9 services.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

The general format of a linear function is presented as follows:

y = mx + b.

In which the coefficients are:

  • m is the slope, representing  the variable amount, that is, by how much y changes when x is increased by one.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the fixed amount.

In this problem, the equation is:

6x + 18 = 72.

From the given equation, considering the slope of 6 and the intercept of 18, the problem can be presented as follows:

You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?

The solution is found isolating the variable x, as follows:

6x = 72 - 18

6x = 54

x = 54/6

x = 9.

The solution x = 9 represents the number of services that you made, in the context of this problem.

Solve the quadratic equation for x in the simplest equation -6x^2+15x+9=0
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x²+15x+9=0

divide by -3

2x²-5x-3=0

2x²+x-6x-3=0

x(2x+1)-3(2x+1)=0

(2x+1)(x-3)=0

either x=-1/2

or x=3
