Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For me it's easier to work with decimals than fractions, so I converted 3/4 to .75

.75(x + 18) = 15

.75x + 13.5 = 15

That was just distributing the .75 but here is where it gets a bit confusing.

.75x + 13.5 = 15

.75x = 1.5

Divide both sides by .75 to isolate the variable.

x = 2

Hope that helps and have a great day!

How does the graph of f(x)=3lx+2l+4 relate to its parent function?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now, with that template above in mind, let's see this one

$\bf parent\implies f(x)=|x|
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{lllcclll}
f(x)=&3|&1x&+2|&+4\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&A&B&C&D
\end{array}$

A=3, B=1, shrunk by AB or 3 units, about 1/3
C=2, horizontal shift by C/B or 2/1 or just 2, to the left
D=4, vertical shift upwards of 4 units

Which of the following are the correct properties of slope? Check all that apply.

Grace [21]

It's up to you what you chose for A and or B because 0 slope of a line is for a flat horizontal line and an undefined slope is for a flat vertical line
With this information you should chose D regardless but that's also up to you I would though and E is correct.

The equation y=2x+3 represents the cost y (in dollars) of mailing a package that weighs x pounds.

quester [9]

the equation that represents the cost is a lineal and it is ,as you can see , it is a function with positive slope, it means that as the pounds are heavier, the shipping cost will be higher, the shipping cost is from three dollars onwards, as you can see in the graph, as there are no negative weights, the values of x are taken to from zero onwards
