Solve for x.

a2x+a−8=(a+8)(x)

 Add -8x to both sides.

a^2x+a−8+−8x=ax+8x+−8x

a^2x+a−8x−8=ax

Add -ax to both sides.

a^2x+a−8x−8+−ax=ax+−ax

a^2x−ax+a−8x−8=0

Add 8 to both sides.

a^2x−ax+a−8x−8+8=0+8

a^2x−ax+a−8x=8

Add -a to both sides.

a^2x−ax+a−8x+−a=8+−a

a^2x−ax−8x=−a+8

Factor out variable x.

x(a^2−a−8)=−a+8

Divide both sides by a^2-a-8.

x(a^2−a−8) / a^2−a−8 = −a+8 / a^2−a−8

\sf x =  \dfrac{-a+8}{a^2-a-8}

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

8$

Step-by-step explanation:

4 students contribute 12$ Each.

So, total amount becomes 12 x 4 = 48$

If two more students contribute it makes a total of 6 students.
so we now divide the 48$ by 6
48/6=8$

USE A MODEL Olivia and her brother William had a bicycle race. Olivia rode at a speed
Anni [7]

Answer:

Let the total distance Aileen ran be 'x'

Let the distance ran by Andrew be 'y'

Refer to graph attached for graphical representation of distance travelled by both.

Applying the formula,

distance=speed*time

x=20*t      Equation  1

y= 15*t       equation 2

Since it can be easily understood by the graph attached, that

x=150+y  equation 3

Now putting values of x and y in equation 3

20*t =150 +15*t.

5t= 150

t=30 seconds.

putting the values of t in both the equation 1 and 2

x=20t

=20*30

x  = 600 feet

So the distance ran by Aileen is 600 feet, whereas Andrew ran 450 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do not mind the names just change them. I had the same question before with different names so that is why. Hope this helps:)

Need Help With Functions. Screenshot attatched
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

4x² -29x +51

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x-3 where x is in the original function definition, then "simplify". I think you'll find it convenient to rewrite the original function definition first.

... g(x) = 4x² -5x = x(4x -5)

Substituting, we have

... g(x-3) = (x -3)(4(x -3) -5)

... = (x -3)(4x -17) . . . . . simplify right factor

... = 4x² -12x -17x +51

... g(x -3) = 4x² -29x +51
