Answer: <u>7</u>

<u />

Explanation:

1. 17 = 3x - 4.

According to the order of operations in algebraic equations, one must first subtract or add any given number to both sides. This is because the main goal when solving is to "isolate" the variable, or in other words keep it "single" on one side of the equals sign.

2. So, next one must add the -4 to both sides (this is because the opposite of -4 is +4 or positive 4)

17 = 3x  - 4

+4         +4

The 2 fours on the right cancel each other out (because -4 plus positive 4 is equal to zero). And when one adds 17 + 4, the equations looks like this:

21 = 3x

3. Now, in order to undo the operation of 3 times x, one must do the opposite of multiplying, which is division. So, one now must divide by 3 one both sides like the following:

21 = 3x

÷3    ÷3

The 3s on the right cancel each other out, and 21 divided by 3 is 7:

7  = x

Thus, 7 is equal to x.

Answer:

<em>x = 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17 = 3X + -4

Reorder the terms:

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.

17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X

Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0

17 + -3X = -4 + 0

17 + -3X = -4

Add '-17' to each side of the equation.

17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0

0 + -3X = -4 + -17

-3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21

-3X = -21

Divide each side by '-3'.

X = 7

Simplifying

X = 7

Match each transformation of function f to a feature of the transformed function.
andrezito [222]

By analyzing the parent function graph, we will see that:

  • 1) m(x) = -f(x) ⇒  "function decreases as x increases"
  • 2)  h(x) = f(x) + 2 ⇒ "asymptote of y = 2"
  • 3) j(x) = f(x + 2) ⇒ "y-intercept at (0, 4)"
  • 4)  g(x) = 2*f(x)  ⇒ "y-intercept at (0, 2)"

<h3>What thing does each transformation?</h3>

Let's list each transformation and let's see which is the correct option for each one.

1) m(x) = -f(x).

This is a reflection over the x-axis, so, now the curve will open downwards. This means that now we have a decreasing function, so the correct option here is: <em>"function decreases as x increases"</em>

2) h(x) = f(x) + 2

This is a vertical translation of 2 units upwards. So it moves the whole graph 2 units upwards. Originally, you can see that in the left side we have an asymptote at y = 0, now that asymptote will be at y = 2.

So the correct option is: <em>"asymptote of y = 2.</em>

3) j(x) = f(x + 2)

This is a shift of 2 units to the left, notice that when we evaluate this in x =  0 we et:

j(0) = f(2) = 2^2 = 4

So the y-intercept os (0, 4).

4) g(x) = 2*f(x)

This is a vertical stretch of scale factor 2.

When we evaluate this in x = 0, we get:

g(0) = 2*f(1) = 2

So the y-intercept is at (0, 2).

Daryl has a total of 160 National Football League (NFL) trading cards from both the American Football Conference (AFC) and the N
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A represents the number of AFC cars and N represents the number of NFC cards, and that Daryl has 160 total cards, then A+N = 160, the total number of cards. Furthermore, the number of AFC cards Daryl has is 8 more than 3 times the number of NFC cards, so A would be equal to 8 + 3N, or A = 3N + 8. The only system of equations with both of these correct equations is B.

The point (2, -3), is the top of a triangle. Which point would it map to if the triangle was translated up 7 units and reflected
Elza [17]

Answer: (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go up any number of units, you add it to the y-coordinate. So -3 + 7 = 4. That would make it, (2,4). The next step would be reflecting it across the y-axis. And whenever you reflect across the y-axis, the x-coordinate always changes.
