Which of the following equations is equivalent to x - y = 5?

Masja [62]

Answer:

$6x-6y=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete options are

a) x - 2y = 30

b) 4x - 3y = 30

c) 3x - 4y = 30

d) 6x - 6y = 30

The given equation is

$x-y=5$

Verify option d

we have

$6x-6y=30$

Divide by 6 both sides

$(6x-6y)/6=30/6$

$\frac{6x}{6}-\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{30}{6}$

$x-y=5$

therefore

$x-y=5$ and $6x-6y=30$ are equivalent

If f(x) = StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction + 8, what is f(x) when x = 10?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function

$f(x)=\dfrac{x}{2}+8$

To find the value of the function f(x) at point x=a, you have to substitute a instead of x into the function expression.

In your case, you have to evaluate f(x) when x=10. Substitute 10 instead of x into the function expression:

$f(10)=\dfrac{10}{2}+8=5+8=13$
