Solve for x:5 x + 3 (x + 4) = -20
3 (x + 4) = 3 x + 12:3 x + 12 + 5 x = -20
Grouping like terms, 5 x + 3 x + 12 = (5 x + 3 x) + 12:(5 x + 3 x) + 12 = -20
5 x + 3 x = 8 x:8 x + 12 = -20
Subtract 12 from both sides:8 x + (12 - 12) = -12 - 20
12 - 12 = 0:8 x = -20 - 12
-20 - 12 = -32:8 x = -32
Divide both sides of 8 x = -32 by 8:(8 x)/8 = (-32)/8
8/8 = 1:x = (-32)/8
The gcd of -32 and 8 is 8, so (-32)/8 = (8 (-4))/(8×1) = 8/8×-4 = -4:Answer: x = -4

The sum of three numbers is 103. The second number is 5 less than the first. The third number is 4 times the first. What are the
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The numbers are 18, 13, and 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be represented by <em>a, b</em>, and <em>c</em>.

The sum of the three is 103. Thus, we can write that:

a+b+c=103

The second number is five less than the first. So:

b=a-5

And the third number is four times the first. So:

c=4a

Substitute:

a+(a-5)+(4a)=103

Solve for <em>a</em>. Combine like terms:

6a-5=103

Add five to both sides:

6a=108

And divide both sides by six. Therefore:

a=18

So, the first number is 18.

Since the second number is five less than the first, the second number is 13.

And since the third number is four times the first, the third number is 72.

Can someone help me with this? ​

Functions 6 and 7 are linear, 8 is not. This means 6 and 7 have a degree of 1. Since 8 is a quadratic, it has a degree of 2.

The slope is 1 for function 6 and 5 for function 7. Remember, in slope-intercept format, linear equations are written as y=mx+b. X and Y stand for coordinates you can plug in, m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-coordinate of the function’s y-intercept. I assume you are familiar with these terms so I won’t explain them.

Number 9 is linear, and you can tell because f(x), which is the output, increases with a constant difference as x increases by 1. In other words, the delta y and delta x is the same between all points.

Number 10 is clearly not linear, because two different x values have the same y value. This is a parabola.

I recommend you graph some of these functions for practice, so you can visualize it better. Imagine the functions as machines. You input a number (x) and you get a number out (y).

For example, in the function f(x)=3x+5, I can input any x, let’s take x as 6, and when I plug it in, I’ll get an output, f(x). 3(6)+5=18+5=23. So my f(x)=23 when x is 6.

Lisa has $150 at most to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $58 and will spend the rest on t-shirts that cos
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If she cannot spend more than what she has, which is 150, the inequality sign has to be "less than or equal to".  It's ok if she spends less than 150, but not ok if she spends more, because she doesn't have it to spend.

We know the cost of 1 pair of jeans is 58.  Now she wants to make up the difference by getting as many $14 shirts as possible (the number of shirts being our unknown).  

That means that the cost of the jeans PLUS the unknown number of shirts cannot exceed 150.

Therefore, the inequality is:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

On Saturday a restaurant used 10 7 ⁄ 9 cans of vegetables. On Sunday they used another 3 4 ⁄ 6 cans. What is the total amount of
Rudik [331]

Answer:

14   4/9  cans

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add the cans used on Saturday and Sunday

10 7/9 + 3 4/6

We can simplify the fraction 4/6 by dividing the top and bottom by 2

10 7/9 + 3 2/3

To add, we need the fractions to have a common denominator of 9

10 7/9 + 3  2/3*3/3

10 7/9 + 3 6/9

Add the whole numbers  10 +3 = 13

Add the fractions  7/9 + 6/9 = 13/9

    13/9  = 1   4/9

Move the whole part of the fraction to the whole numbers

13 + 1 + 4/9

14  4/9
