3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{  \sf{x = 0.875}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{3[ x + 3(4x - 5)]  = 15x - 24}

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{3[ x + 12x - 15 ]  = 15x - 24}

Collect like terms : 12x and x

⇒\sf{3[ 13x - 15 ]  = 15x - 24}

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{39x - 45 = 15x - 24}

Move 15x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 45 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{39x - 15x =  - 24 + 45}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{24x =  - 24 + 45}

Calculate

⇒\sf{24x = 21}

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

⇒\sf{ \frac{24x}{24}  =  \frac{21}{24}}

Calculate

⇒\sf{x = 0.875}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

What is the range of the function f(x) = -|X - 4| + 5?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Range = (-<em>∞, 5</em>)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the absolute value function with transformation.

The parent function is f(x) = |x|

This function has a "negative" in front, so it makes it reflect about x axis

The -4 after x makes horizontal translation of 4 units right

the +5 at the end makes the function translate 5 units UP

<em>The graph is shown in the attached picture.</em>

<em>Looking at the graph, we can clearly see the range. The range is the allowed y-values. Hence, we can see that the </em><em>range is  -infinity to 5</em>

<em />

<em>answer is not properly given, so i can't choose from the options, but the answer is -∞, 5 to 5</em>

I can't figure this out. ​
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$ 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

total money is $20

on lunch = 1/8 × 20 = 5/2 = $2.5

on movies = 2/5 × 20 = $8

total spent = 2.5+8 =$ 10.5

left money = 20-10.5 = $ 9.5
