The objective is to get the variable (x) alone. To do this start be subtracting 3. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so you have to subtract three from the other side of the equal sign as well. So now you have:
20x= 17-3 subtract the 3 to get 20x=14
Now because the 20 is attached to the x In order to get the x alone you have to divide by 20:
20x/20. =14/20 divide 14 by 20

X=.7 or x=7/10

Answer: x = 7/10

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to move all constants or variables other than x onto the other side of the equation. When a number crosses sides, its sign (- or +) changes to the opposite.

20x = 17 - 3

20x = 14

Now, we need to detach the 20 from the x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 20 (reversing the operation; the opposite of 20 · x is 20 · x ÷ 20).

20x ÷ 20 = 14 ÷ 20

x = 14/20

x = 7/10

What function is graphed below?
lidiya [134]

Answer: y = 2x^4

The graph represents a parabolic-looking shape so it's either a quadratic or some even degree polynomial. This rules out y = -2x^3 and y = 2x^3 as they are cubics with odd degrees

The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent. It determines the end behavior. In this case, both ends are rising upward together. Because they are rising up in the positive y direction, this means that we cannot have y = -2x^4 as the answer. For example, if x = 2 then y = -2*x^4 = -2*2^4 = -32, but the point (x,y) = (2,-32) isn't on the blue curve. So we can rule y = -2x^4 out.

The fact that y = 2x^4 has a positive leading coefficient tells us that the endpoints point upward.

Which graph could represent the amount of green beans when selling at a unit rate of G dollars per pound?
hammer [34]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that tells you the number of dollars you spend on a given number of pounds creates graphs with the coordinates (pounds, dollars).

If you want 1 pound to correspond to G dollars, then a point on the graph will be ...

The table shows the outputs, y, for different inputs, x:
Akimi4 [234]
A Yes  as the x values are all different

B f(x) = 5x + 14

when x = 2 , f(x) = 5(2) + 14 = 24
 x = 5,  f(x) = 39, 
Each value of f(x) is greater than corresponding ones in the function in A.
when x = 9  f(x) = 59  which is greater than for first function ( =12)

First function is a decreasing  while f(x) is increasing

C f(x) = 64 = 5x + 14

5x  = 64 - 14 = 50

x = 10
