First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.

X-2=3x-4. Solve for x by first subtracting x from the left side (you want to keep x positive if you can). You then have -2=2x-4. Subtract four to help get x by itself and you have -6=2x. Divide by 2 and your answer is -3=x.

The path of a roller coaster over a particular length of track can be represented by a quadratic function f, where f(x) represen

alexgriva [62]

The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.

If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.

Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.

First multiply each term by 24(the common denominator found by 8×3) to remove the fractions and make things easier.
$24(5) + 24( \frac{x - 2}{3} ) = 24( \frac{x + 3}{8} )$
This will give you,
$120 + 8(x - 2) = 3(x + 3)$
Then just continue to simplify and isolate the variable.
$120 + 8x - 16 = 3x + 9$
$8x + 104 = 3x + 9$
$5x = - 95$
$x = - 19$
