If you could put more info ab this then i would understand what u want me to put
Answer: 5/10
Explanation: Compare the denominators. Since 2 ⋅ 5 = 10, multiply the numerator 1 by 5 to get 5.
Answer:
14x - 8 = 22 + 20x
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "the number" be represented by x
Take each part of the statement and translate into algebraic form
"14 times a number" 14x
"decreased By eight" -8
"is" =
"22 Increased by" 22 +
"20 times The same number" 20x
Put the equation together. Solve for x by isolating.
(
14x - 8 = 22 + 20x
14x - 8 - 20x = 22 + 20x - 20x Subtract 20x from both sides
-6x - 8 = 22
-6x - 8 + 8 = 22 + 8 Add 8 to both sides
-6x = 30
-6x ÷ -6 = 30 ÷ -6 Divide both sides by -6
x = -5
You are trying to find an x-value for which f(x) = g(x). At first your choice of x is arbitrary. In the given table, the first x-value tried was 0 (zero). For this value of x, f(x) does NOT equal g(x).
Next x was 1. f(x) and g(x) are even further apart here. So reject 1 and try 2 instead. Notice how f(x) and g(x) are closer together now than they were for x=1.
Note that for x=2.5, f(x) and g(x) are even closer together; ony 0.75 separates them.
Your turn. Try x=2.4, x=2.3, and so on. You may have to go in the other direction: Try x=2.6, x=2.7, and so on. If f(x) and g(x) are getting closer to one another, you're going in the right direction; if further apart, you're going in the wrong direction.
Have fun. This really is an interesting problem.
