Just subisute values that will work
one easy way is to make one sides equal to only one of the placeholders, like y, and then lug in values in for x exg
x+2y=3
subtract x from both sides
2y=3-x
divideb bith sides by 2
y=-1/2x+3
subsitute valudes for x and get values for y
if x=2 then
y=-1/2(2)+3
y==-1+3
y=2
when x=2, y=2
when y=0 then y=3
Answer:
f(x) = √(x+1) -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you're working with transformed functions, you know that replacing x with x-a in f(x) will translate the graph "a" units to the right. You also know that adding "b" units to the function value will translate the graph "b" units upward.
Here, the graph of f(x) = √x has been translated 1 unit to the left (a=-1) and 2 units down (b=-2). So, the transformed function is ...
f(x) = √(x-(-1)) + (-2)
f(x) = √(x+1) -2 . . . . . . simplify
Let x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.
There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then
3 gallons - 100%,
a gallons - 30%,
where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.
Mathematically,

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.
x+3 gallons - 100%,
x+0.9 - 65%
or

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.
Nick had 3 1/4 bottles before, and he had 1 2/4 bottles left, so that means
3 1/4 - 1 2/4 = 1.75
1.75= 1 3/4.
So, I do not agree with nick.
Hope this helps!!! :)
Top:
x / (x + 1) - 1 / x
= [x^2 - (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
Bottom:
x / (x + 1) + 1 / x
= [x^2 + (x +1)] / x(x+1)
= (x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
Now you have:
(x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)
----------------------------
(x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1) * x (x+1) / (x^2 + x + 1 )
= (x^2 - x - 1 ) /(x^2 + x + 1 )
Answer:
x^2 - x - 1
---------------------
x^2 + x + 1
