Answer:

c. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The starting equation to find f(22) is 22=8(x-4)-18

2. Next, distribute(multiply) the 8 to the x and -4 which would make the equation 22=8x-32-18

3. After that, combine the like terms (-32-18) which would give us 22=8x-50

4. Now, we can also combine the 22 and the -50 but they are on different sides of the equation. So, we have to move the -50 to the left side of the equation by adding 50 to both sides which would cancel -50 on the right side, thus "moving" it to the left side which would give us 72=8x

5. Lastly, we have to isolate x right? so to get rid of the 8, you divide both sides by 8 since 8 is multiplying with x which would give us 9=x

*If you are allowed to use a graphing calculator, you can put the equation into the graph by hitting the y= button and going to the table (2nd, Graph). This makes everything 100x easier.

Your welcome :)

On a coordinate plane, the endpoints of line segment JK are J(−10,12) and K(8,−12). Point L lies on line segment JK and divides

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The coordinates of point L are (4.4 , -7.2) ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that point L is (x , y)

Point L divides the line segment JK into two line segments such that

the ratio of JK to KL is 5 : 1

The coordinates of point J are (-10 , 12)

The coordinates of point K are (8 , -12)

∵ $x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

∵ $y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

Let $(x_{1},y_{1})$ = (-10 , 12) and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ = (8 , -12)

and $m_{1}:m_{2}$ = JL : KL

∵ JK : KL = 5 : 1

∵ JK = JL + KL

∴ 5 = JL + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ JL = 4

∴ JL : LK = 4 : 1

∴ $m_{1}:m_{2}$ = 4 : 1

∵ $x=\frac{(-10)(1)+(8)(4)}{4+1}$

∴ $x=\frac{-10+32}{5}$

∴ $x=\frac{22}{5}=4.4$

∴ The x-coordinate of point L is 4.4

∵ $y=\frac{(12)(1)+(-12)(4)}{4+1}$

∴ $y=\frac{12+(-48)}{5}$

∴ $y=\frac{-36}{5}=-7.2$

∴ The y-coordinate of point L is -7.2

* The coordinates of point L are (4.4 , -7.2)

a book store bought 160 copies of a book from the publisher for $4,000. If the store gives away 2 books, how much money will it

Dovator [93]

4000 divide by 160 to get the cost of each book
4000 / 160 = 25
So that's £25 per book, multiply that by two because they gave two away which is £50 so they lost £50
