Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal: "solve for x" in 3 - 2x = -1.5x.

First: Add 2x to both sides to isolate x:

3 = 0.5x

Next, divide both sides by 0.5, again to isolate x:

3/0.5 = x, or x = 6

Evaluate the function f(x) at the given numbers (correct to six decimal places).

Answer:

The values of given function are shown in the below table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=\frac{x^2-5x}{x^2-x-20}$

Simplify the given function.

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-5)}{x^2-5x+4x-20}$

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-5)}{x(x-5)+4(x-5)}$

$f(x)=\frac{x(x-5)}{(x+4)(x-5)}$

Cancel out the common factor.

$f(x)=\frac{x}{x+4}$

Substitute x=5.5 in the above equation.

$f(5.5)=\frac{5.5}{5.5+4}$

$f(5.5)=\frac{5.5}{9.5}$

$f(5.5)=0.57894736842$

$f(5.5)\approx 0.578947$

Similarly find the value for all values of x.

The values of given function are shown in the below table.
