Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3 = 3x + 9

subtract 3 on both sides (cancels out 3) (inverse operation)

5x = 3x + 6

subtract 3x on both sides (cancels out 3x) (inverse operation)

2x = 6

divide both sides by 2 (isolates x) (simplifies)

x = 3

Find the y-intercept for the parabola defined by the equation y=x^2-x-12

o-na [289]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,-12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $y=x^2-x-12$ .

Now question says to find the y-intercept of the given parabola $y=x^2-x-12$ .

We know that y-intercept means the y-value when x-value equals 0

so let's plug x=0 into given equation $y=x^2-x-12$ then solve that for y.

$y=x^2-x-12$

$y=0^2-0-12$

$y=0-0-12$

$y=-12$

Hence the y-intercept is (0,-12).

S is inversely proportional to t . When s = 0.6 , t = 5 Work out s when t = 0.3

madreJ [45]

Answer:

s = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given s is inversely proportional to t , then the equation relating them is

s = $\frac{k}{t}$ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when s = 0.6, t = 5

0.6 = $\frac{k}{5}$ ( multiply both sides by 5 )

3 = k

s = $\frac{3}{t}$ ← equation of proportion

When t = 0.3, then

s = $\frac{3}{0.3}$ = 10
