How would I start to solve number 15? Would I use distributive property?

-5-x=2x-(4x+6)

Using the distributive property is the correct first step. (4x+6) is being multiplied by -1, so distributing gives

-5-x=2x+(-4x-6)
-5-x=2x+((-4x)+(-6))

Now, using the associative property of addition, you get

-5-x=(2x+(-4x))+(-6)
-5-x=(2x-4x)-6

Simplify the right hand side:

-5-x=-2x-6

Add 5 and 2x to both sides.

(2x+5)-5-x=(2x+5)-2x-6

On the left side, use the associative property. On the right, commutativity and associativity:

2x+(5-5)-x=5+(2x-2x)-6

Simplify.

2x-x=-1
x=-1

In exponential growth functions, the base of the exponent must be greater than 1. How would the function change if the base of t
iogann1982 [59]
If the base were 1, then the final value would never change...it would be a constant...

If the base is between zero and one, it is an exponential decay equation, so the final value would continually get smaller and smaller...

2. The prices of different burgers are shown on this sign.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

If this is what your question is, yes the price of the burger is a function of the number of patties.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, the number of patties is the independent variable and the price is the dependent variable. A function can be written as y = f(x), here x is the number of patties. The price of the burger is y. I had this question that is also why I know this is right.

I hope this helps and have a nice day..

Solve this question for me.Atrader paid 15 GH for 6 drinking cups.One of the cups got broken,He sold the remaining 5, making pro
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

2.5 ; 3.3 ; 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of 6 cups = 15

Profit made on selling 5 after one git broken = 10%

I) the cost price of each of the six:

Purchase price = 15

Cost price of each = 15 / 6 = 2.5

ii,the selling price of each of the five cups.

Profit made = 10%

Hence;

Selling price = (1 + 0.1) * 15 = 1.1 * 15 = 16.5

Price of each five : 16.5 / 5 = 3.3

Iii, the profit made on each cup sold

Profit made on each :

(16.5 - 15) / 5 = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3
