1. B. $20
2. B. 25%
3. C. 35%
I think.
First, you should combine the x terms:
-3x - 7 = 29
Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.
-3x = 22
Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.
x = -22/3 or -7.33
Number 5 is 22 and 35
For example: 7+1=8, 8+2 =10, 10+3=13, 13+4=17, 17+5=22, 22+6=28, 28+7=35
The coordinate (5,-6) lies in the fourth coordinate, because the first is x positive y positive, the second is x negative and y positive, the third is x negative and y negative, and the fourth is x positive y negative. This is x positive y negative, so it is in the fourth quadrant.
#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)
