When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.

=

When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)
Now, solve it using algebra.
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5) Multiply
6x = 5x + 15 Subtract 5x from both sides
x = 15
The value of
x is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Inverse of a Function</u>
The procedure to find the inverse of the function is:
* Write the function as a two-variable equation:

* Solve the equation for x.
Multiply by 3x-1

Divide by y:

Sum 1:

Operate the right side:

Divide by 3:

* Swap the variables:

Write back into function form:

Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 4 for c.
(c³)/2 = (4³)/2
First, solve the parenthesis, then divide. Multiply:
4³ = 4 * 4 * 4 = 16 * 4 = 64
Next, divide:
64/2 = 32
32 is your answer.

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Putting n=1 into the formulas eliminates the first two choices, since they evaluate to 3.57 and 0.85, respectively, not 4.2.
Putting n=2 into the formula eliminates the third choice, because you know that 4.2(0.15) < 3.57 without even using a calculator.
The only viable choice (and the correct choice) is the last one.
Answer:
p(a) = -3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
p ( a +b) = p(a)+p(b)
1/10= p(a) +1/4
1/10 - 1/4 = p(a)
p(a) = -3/20
