Why do i have to subtract 3 from both sides of the following equation instead dividing by 9 first.

Because the 3 doesn't have a "letter" behind it. You would subtract the 3 first and all you would have left on the left side of the expression will be 9x. then on the other side of the expression you would subtract 3 from 27. So, 27 minus 3. After you get the answer from 27 minus 3, you will then divide that answer by 9. Then you have the answer or what "x" equals after you divide by 9.

You are trying to find x, and you need to isolate it as much as possible

Remember PEMDAS

you are pretty much doing the opposite of it, or SADMEP, to find x

hope this helps

9x + 3 = 27
9x + 3 (-3) = 27 (-3)
9x = 24
9x/9 = 24/9

x = 8/3

QuestionA local road rises 30 feet for every 483 feet of highway. What is the slope of the highway?
max2010maxim [7]

The slope can be found by the "rise over run", that is, is the change in variable y divided by the change in variable x.

In this question,

\begin{gathered} slope=\frac{rise\text{ in the road}}{run\text{ in highway}} \\  \end{gathered}

Substituting the values:

\begin{gathered} slope=\frac{30}{483} \\ slope=0.06\text{ feet per feet of highway.} \end{gathered}

Answer: 0.06 feet per feet of highway.

Which of the following describes the graph of y=\sqrt[3]{8x-64}-5 compared to the parent cube root function?
andriy [413]
Answer: stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down

Explanation:

These is the set of choices that accompany with this question:


<span>a) stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down
b) stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
c) stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down
d) stretched by a factor of 8 and translated 64 units right and 5 units down


Solution:

</span>Let's work a little the given function to compare it with the parent function.

1) The given function is y = ∛[8x - 64] - 5

2) Extract common factor 8 of the expression inside the square brackets:

y = ∛[ 8( x - 8) ] - 5

3) Extract 8 from the root:

y = 2∛(x - 8) - 5

4) The parent function is ∛x. Call the parent function g(x) => g(x) = ∛x

5) Compare: y is 2 * g(x - 8) - 5

6) Analyze the meaning of that:

g(x - 8) means that the graph of the function is translated 8 units to the right

scaling by 2 means that the graph is stretch vertically (by a scale factor of 2)

- 5 means that the entire graph is shifted 5 units downward.

So, the description of the graph y = ∛(8x - 64) - 5 compared to the parent cube root function is: stretched by a factor of 2 and translated 8 units right and 5 units down

A student studying statistics examined whether a relationship exists between the city miles per gallon (mpg) and highway miles p
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

c. If a vehicle's city mpg increases by 1 mile per gallon, its predicted highway miles per gallon will increase by 1.14 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that predicts highway mpg based on city mpg is:

H=1.14C+5.8

There is a positive relationship between city and highway mpg, which means that an increase in city mph results in an increase in highway mph. As for the magnitude of this increase, it is related to the slope of the equation which happens to be 1.14. This means that if a vehicle's city mpg increases by 1 mile per gallon, its predicted highway miles per gallon will increase by 1.14 miles per gallon.

The answer is alternative C.
