I assume you want to find x

remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

7x-4=-2x+1+9x-5
group like terms
7x-4=-2x+9x+1-5
add like terms
7x-4=7x-4
add 4 to both sides
7x=7x
divide both sides by 7
x=x
true

x=all real numbers

since it sipmlifies to x=x (it could somiplify to 0=0 as well), it is an identity and all real numbers work for x

the tale-tell fellow is the number inside the parentheses.

if that number, the so-called "growth or decay factor", is less than 1, then is Decay, if it's more than 1, is Growth.

$\bf f(x)=0.001(1.77)^x\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \textit{1.77 is greater than 1, Growth} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(x)=2(1.5)^{\frac{x}{2}}\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \textit{1.5 is greater than 1, Growth} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(x)=5(0.5)^{-x}\implies f(x)=5\left( \cfrac{05}{10} \right)^{-x}\implies f(x)=5\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^{-x} \\\\\\ f(x)=5\left( \cfrac{2}{1} \right)^{x}\implies f(x)=5(2)^x\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \textit{Growth} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf f(t)=5e^{-t}\implies f(t)=5\left( \cfrac{e}{1} \right)^{-t}\implies f(t)=5\left( \cfrac{1}{e} \right)^t \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{e}\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \textit{that's a fraction less than 1, Decay}$

now, let's take a peek at the second set.

$\bf f(x)=3(1.7)^{x-2}\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \begin{array}{llll} \textit{the x-2 is simply a horizontal shift}\\\\ \textit{1.7 is more than 1, Growth} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(x)=3(1.7)^{-2x}\implies f(x)=3\left(\cfrac{17}{10}\right)^{-2x}\implies f(x)=3\left(\cfrac{10}{17}\right)^{2x} \\\\\\ \textit{that fraction is less than 1, Decay} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf f(x)=3^5\left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^x\qquad \leftarrow \qquad \textit{that fraction is less than 1, Decay} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(x)=3^5(2)^{-x}\implies f(x)=3^5\left( \cfrac{2}{1} \right)^{-x}\implies f(x)=3^5\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^x \\\\\\ \textit{that fraction in the parentheses is less than 1, Decay}$

In a certain game, each player scores either 2 points or 5 points. If n players score 2 points and m players score 5 points, and

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, n players score 2 points and m players score 5 points,

So, total scores = 2n + 5m,

According to the question,

The total number of points is 50,

⇒ 2n + 5m = 50

Since, n and m can be any positive integers including 0 ( because number of players can not be negative or in fraction )

Also, for the positive integer value of m, n must be the multiple of 5 less than or equal to 25,

Thus, the possible values of m and n are,

(5,8), (10, 6), (15, 4), (25,0),

Since, 8-5 < 10-6 < 15-4 < 25-0

Hence, the least possible positive difference between n and m is 3.

Option 'b' is correct.
