<h2>Solving Equations</h2>
To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.
- If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
- If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
- Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.
We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>

Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:

Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:

Therefore.
.
<h3>Question 2</h3>

Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:

To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Therefore,
.
Answer:
A. Between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeroes of a function occur whenever a value of x returns zero. To predict where the zeroes lie, determine the interval(s) where the function crosses the x-axis. This occurs when either
goes from a negative value to a positive value or vice versa.
From
and
, the y-values go from 4.0 (positive) to -0.2 (negative), respectively. Therefore, there must be a zero in this interval.
From
and
, the y-values go from -0.8 (negative) to 0.1 (positive), respectively. Therefore, there must also be a zero in this interval.
Thus, the zeros of this function occur between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5, leading to answer choice A.
