5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)


-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n

the number is -42


the number is 18

Tyler concludes that 5x² will always have a larger output for the same value of x.

<u>Look at the graph below and the table given</u>

Take a random value: x = 0

  • When 5x², y = 0
  • When 2^x, y = 1

Here, 1 > 0, making 2^x > 5x²

Hence, 2^x is greater than 5x² at this point. making Tyler's point not applicable.

Disagree with Tyler's point.
