Answer:
2 to the power of 2 times 5 to the power of 1
= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
180 + 8x = 160 + 6x
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 6x on both sides: 180 + 2x = 160
- Subtract 180 on both sides: 2x = -20
- Divide both sides by 2: x = -10
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
180 + 8(-10) = 160 + 6(-10)
180 - 80 = 160 - 60
100 = 100

<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>
In this question we have a graph formed by two different <em>linear</em> functions. <em>Linear</em> functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:
y = m · x + b (1)
Where:
- x - Independent variable.
- y - Dependent variable.
- m - Slope
- b - Intercept
By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following <em>piecewise</em> function:

Solution:
<u>Given:</u>
<u>Solve the equation by isolating the variable.</u>
- => 18 = 2b
- => 2b/2 = 18/2
- => b = 9
The value of b is 9.
