Answer:
-4,3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1st one
x-2x-20 = 12
-x = 32
x=-4
2nd one
-15=15q-50 - 5q
35= 10q
q = 3.5
#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
Subtract the sale price from the original price then divide the difference by the original price.
Guitar 1: 160 -100 = 60
60/160 = 0.375 x 100 = 37.5%
Guitar 2: 250 - 150 = 100
100/250 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
The answer is the second guitar has a greater percent change of approximately 40%
