Our equation currently is:
4x - 1 = 2x + 5.
To solve for x, get x on one side.
Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x - 1 = 5 is now our new equation.
2x is not alone.
Add 1 to both sides to get 2x alone.
2x = 6 is now our new equation.
Now, we must simplify the equation to solve for x.
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 3 is your solution.
I hope this helps!

Write an equation that represents a vertical translation 7 units down of the graph of g(x)=|x|.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: Ix+10I

Step-by-step explanation: To shift the graph 10 units to the left, we replace x with x+10. What's really going on is that the xy axis shifts 10 units to the right (because x is now x+10; eg, x = 2 ---> x+10 = 2+10 = 12) so it appears that the graph is moving to the left. The general rule is h(x) = g(x+10).

So,

g(x) = |x|

g(x+10) = |x+10| ... every x has been replaced with x+10

h(x) = g(x+10)

h(x) = |x+10|

We can use a graphing tool like GeoGebra to visually confirm we have the right answer (see attached). Note how a point like (0,0) on the green graph moves to (-10,0) on the red graph.

Suppose you invested $10,000 part at 6% annual interest and the rest at 9% annual interest. If you received $684 in interest aft
victus00 [196]
Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900

Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%

method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 6)<br> and (1, 2)?
victus00 [196]

Answer:y = -5x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope (m) of the line that passes through these points:

m = (1-6) / (2-1) = -5/1 = -5

Then use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line:

m = (y-y0)/(x-x0)

-5 = (y-1)/(x-2)

-5(x-2) = y-1

y - 1 = -5x+10

y = -5x + 11

FOR BRAINLIEST<br> Express 0.64 as a fraction in lowest terms.<br> 5/32<br> 64/10<br> 16/25<br> 4/5
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In its decimal form, it says  ' 64 / 100 '.

In order to change it to its lowest terms, we look to see whether the

numerator and denominator have a common factor greater than ' 1 '.

If they do, then we can divide numerator and denominator by their

common factor, and have the same fraction in lower terms.

The common factors of  64  and  100  are  1,  2, and  4 .

We could divide top and bottom by 2, but that wouldn't finish the job.

It's always best to divide them by their greatest common factor, and

once you do that, you're done.

Dividing the numerator and denominator both by  4,

we get the fraction in its lowest terms:

        0.64  =  64/100  =  16/25
