Solve for x. -1/2 (x+5)=2x -3/2

Mathematics

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Start from

-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+5)=2x -\dfrac{3}{2}

It may be useful to multiply the whole expression by 2, in order to get rid of denominators:

-(x+5)=4x -3

Distribute the negative sign in the left hand side:

-x-5=4x -3

Move all terms involving x to the left, and all constants to the right:

-x-4x=-3+5

Sum like terms:

-5x=2

DIvide both sides -5:

x = -\dfrac{2}{5}

Select the correct answer. Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve each answer and see which one matches.

Note that in each case, you simply add or subtract from x inside the radical to move left or right respectively.  Similarly, just add or subtract to the full expression to move up or down respectively. Doing so we get:

a) f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x + 7} + 3

b)f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 3} - 7

c)f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 3} + 7

d)f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 7} + 3

So d is the correct answer.

Alexus [3.1K]

rewrite -1 1/3 as a decimal: -1.5


-2.1 - x = -1.5

Subtract -2.1 From both sides:

X = -1.5 - -2.1 = -1.5 + 2.1

X = 0.6


Answer: B. 0.6
