Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
j(2) means that x equals 2...
the first inequality in the function says that x is greater than or equal to 2
the second inequality states that x is greater than 2(not equal to) and is less than or equal to 5
the third one states that x is greater than 5
x applies to the first inequality since we know that x can be equal to 2
Now, to the number before the if
there is a 3 before the if in the first inequality
This means that if x is greater than or equal to 2 the y or the function would equal 3
therefore, j(2) would equal 3
I hope this helps!!!
Equations:
2x+105=-3x+130
<em>subtract</em><em> </em><em>2x</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em>
<em>105</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-5x</em><em>+</em><em>130</em>
<em>Subtract</em><em> </em><em>130</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em>
<em>-5x</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-25</em>
<em>isolate</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>variable</em>
<em>x</em><em>=</em><em>5</em><em> </em>
<u>Plug</u><u> </u><u>back</u><u> </u><u>in</u>
<u>2</u><u>(</u><u>5</u><u>)</u><u>+</u><u>105</u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-3</u><u>(</u><u>5</u><u>)</u><u>+</u><u>130</u>

Answer:
x=9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer, we know that 6x + 4x - 5 = 90
Next we want to combine like terms: 10x - 5 = 90.
Now we have to add 5 to 90 in order to get x on its own. 10x = 95
Now solve for x by dividing 95 by 10: x=9.5
