-3(1-2x)-3=-20-8x what is the work and answer

1 answer:

4 0

You have to keep order of operations in mind.

1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x

2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14

3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1

For each answer, we can plug in the given points:

A) is technically the same as B), but B) expresses correct function notation.

B) 5 = 5(1) ⇒ 5 = 5
25 = 5(2) ⇒ 25 ≠ 10
B) is incorrect.

C) I'm not sure what you mean y=5^5=x, but I'm going to use $y=5^{x}$ because it's close to what you wrote:
$5=5^{1} =\ \textgreater \ 5=5 \\ 25=5^{2} =\ \textgreater \ 25=25 \\ 125=5^{3} =\ \textgreater \ 125 = 125 \\ 625=5^{4}=\ \textgreater \ 625=625 \\ 3125=5^{5}=\ \textgreater \ 3125=3125$
The function $y=5^{x}$ works for the points given.

D) 5 = 1 + 5 ⇒ 5 ≠ 6
D) is not correct.

Please check your functions; I'm not sure that C) is a function. In any case, the answer is C) because all the other answers are wrong.

The average reading score on certain tests is given by y = 0.153x + 255.4, where x is the number of years past 1970. In what yea

nirvana33 [79]

Average reading score is given by the expression,

y = 0.153x + 255.4

Here, x in the number of years past 1970.

To find the year in which the average reading score is 259.378, substitute the value of 'y' in the given expression.

y = 0.153x + 255.4

259.378 = 0.153(x) + 255.4

0.153x = 259.378 - 255.4

0.153x = 3.978
