2x - 3 = -8

    +3     + 3

2x = -5

/2    /2

x = -2.5 (Answer)

Prove.

2(-2.5) - 3 = -8

-5 - 3 = -8

-8 = -8

True.

Answer:

Answer -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple:

2x-3=-8

   +3  +3,  Add 3  on both sides of the equal sign.

2x = -5, Bring the 2x down and add the -8 + 3

2        2,  Divide by 2

x= -2.5

Hope my answer has helped you!

(Q6) Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base. y= -4.8·4^x
topjm [15]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation takes the form  y=a*b^x  where

  1. a is the initial value ( a ≠ 0), and
  2. b is the base ( b ≠ 1)

The equation given in the problem can be written as  y=-4.8*4^x, so it is <em>an exponential equation, </em>  where a = -4.8 and b = 4.

Thus we can say that the initial value = -4.8 and the base is 4

The correct answer is  D

The sum of three numbers is 8. The third is 9
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

→<u> </u><u>First</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u>

→<u> </u><u>Second</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

→<u> </u><u>Third</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

• let numbers be x, y and z

{ \tt{z = 8y - 9 -  -  - (eqn \: 1)}} \\  \\ { \tt{10x = 8y - 7 -  -  - (eqn \: 2)}} \\  \\ { \tt{x + y + z = 8 -  -  - (eqn \: 3)}}

• from eqn 2, make x the subject:

{ \tt{x =  \frac{8y - 7}{10} }} \\

• substitute all variables in eqn 3:

{ \tt{ \frac{8y - 7}{10}  + y + 8y - 9 = 8}} \\  \\ { \tt{8y - 7 + 10y + 80y - 90 = 80}} \\  \\ { \tt{98y = 177}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: y = 1.8}}}

• find z

{ \tt{z = 8y - 9}} \\  \\ { \tt{z = 8(1.8) - 9}} \\  \\ { \tt{z = 14.4 - 9}} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: z = 5.4 \: }}}

• find x:

{ \tt{x =  \frac{8(1.8) - 7}{10} }} \\  \\ { \tt{x =  \frac{7.4}{10} }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: x = 0.74 \: }}}

Rounding to nearest value:

{ \boxed{ \rm{x = 1}}} \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y =2 }}} \\ { \boxed{  \rm{z = 5}}}

a fisherman travels 9mi downstream with the current in the same time he travels 3 mi upstream against the current. if the speed
netineya [11]

Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10
