Subtract 5 from me then add 2. If you subtract 10 and then add 3, you get 15. What number am I

Answer:

You are 25

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a word problem that requires algebra notation, actually, we are meant to convert this word problem to mathematical expression then solve.

We proceed in a stepwise manner

let say what I have is x

1. Subtract 5 from me

  (x-5)

2. Then add 2

    (x-5)+2

3.  If you subtract 10

      (x-5)+2-10

4.  And then add 3

    (x-5)+2-10+3

5.  you get 15

   (x-5)+2-10+3=15

what am I is the question we need to answer, we do this by solving for x

x-5+2-10+3=15

x-15+5=15

x-10=15

x=15+10

x=25

Algebra 2 question need help.​

Answer: Choice C

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

===========================================

Explanation:

When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so

f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5

f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5

f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.

The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below

-----------

Examples:

The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection

Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.

As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
fiasKO [112]

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: P_1(-4, 1) and P_2(2, -2). Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

An Olympic sized swimming pool is filled with 660,253 gallons of water. One third of it is left every hour. How much water will
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 is left every hour  then it would  then after 3 hours wouldn't it be gone? Most would assume if only a third of the water is left every hour then after three hours there would be either of two answers if the question was written correctly: one third because they refilled it on the 2nd hour or none because it wouldn't even last two hours
