5 less than three times a number is 10

1 answer:

6 0

To find the algebraic expression, simply break the sentence into fragments.

Three times a number - 3x
5 less than three times a number is 5 - 3x.

This equals to 10.

5 - 3x = 10
-3x = 5
X = -5/3.

I believe this would be the solution.

Which factoring method would be best to factor x^2 - 9?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D. difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the terms x^2 and 9 are squares, so their difference is the difference of squares. The factorization of that is a "special form" that can be usefully memorized.

a^2 -b^2 = (a -b)(a +b)

x^2 -9 = (x -3)(x +3)

<em>We choose any values of x and calculate the value of y</em>

$for\ x=-4\to y=\dfrac{-4+7}{3}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1\to(-4,\ 1)\\\\for\ x=-1\to y=\dfrac{-1+7}{3}=\dfrac{6}{3}=2\to(-1,\ 2)\\\\for\ x=2\to y=\dfrac{2+7}{3}=\dfrac{9}{3}=3\to(2,\ 3)$

Yuri [45]

The equation is
y = $10,000+ $225x

<em>$225 (6) + $10,000 = y</em>

<em>$1,350 + $10,000 = y</em>

<em>$11,350 = y</em>

He will have saved $11,350 dollars in six months.
