Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(2x + 5) - 3 = -3(x - 1)

-4x - 10 - 3 = -3x + 3

-4x - 13 = -3x + 3

-x = 16

x = -16   <--- This is the answer

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute -2

-2 * 2x =-4x

-2 * 5 = -10

-4x - 10 -3 = -3 (x-1)

distribute -3

-3 * x = -3x

-3 * -1 = 3

-4x - 10 -3 = -3x + 3

combine like terms

-4x -13 = -3x + 3

-4x + 3x = -x

3 + 13 = 16

-x = 16

divide by -1

x = -16

If x varies directly as y, find x when y=8. x=11 when y=-3
andriy [413]

Answer:

x=-\frac{88}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity "A" varies DIRECTLY with another quantity "B", we can write the proportionality equation as:

A = kB

Where k is the proportionality constant (to be found)

In this problem, it is given x varies DIRECTLY with y, so we can write:

x = ky

Also, given, x = 11, y = -3, so we plug these into the equation and first find k:

x = ky

11 = k(-3)

k = -11/3

Now, we need to find x when y = 8, so we substitute and find x:

x=ky\\x=(-\frac{11}{3})(8)\\x=-\frac{88}{3}

The following graph shows data regarding the population of a town in thousands. At what rate was the population​ changing?
Elina [12.6K]
Notice those two points on the "linear graph", the first point is at (1965 , 140) and the second point is at (1990 , 100).

the rate or average rate of change, namely the slope will then be 

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~{{ 1965}} &,&{{140}}~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~{{ 1990}} &,&{{ 100}}~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{100-140}{1990-1965}\implies \cfrac{-40}{25}\implies -\cfrac{8}{5}
