Answer:

The value of x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-1.2(3 – x) = -1.8

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

Distributive property:

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

For example A(B + C) = A×B + A×C

Here we have,

-1.2(3 – x) = -1.8

Applying Distributive property we get ,

-1.2×3 -1.2×-x = -1.8

∴ -3.6 +1.2x = -1.8

∴ 1.2x =3.6-1.8\\\\1.2x=1.8\\\\x=\frac{1.8}{1.2} \\\textrm{multiply numerator and denominator by 10}\\x=\frac{1.8\times 10}{1.2\times 10}\\ \\x=\frac{18}{12} \\\\\\x= 1.5

∴ x = 1.5

To find x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

-1.2(3 - x) = -1.8     Distribute -1.2 into (3 - x)

(-1.2)3 + (-1.2)(-x) = -1.8   (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

-3.6 + 1.2x = -1.8          Add 3.6 on both sides

-3.6 + 3.6 + 1.2x = -1.8 + 3.6

1.2x = 1.8      Divide 1.2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 1.5

<u><em>PROOF</em></u>

-1.2(3 - x) = -1.8     Substitute/plug in 1.5 into "x" since x = 1.5

-1.2(3 - 1.5) = -1.8

-1.2(1.5) = -1.8

-1.8 = -1.8

Does each equation represent exponential decay or exponential growth?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

1. H = 5.9(0.82)^{t}. Exponential decay function.

2. y = 0.8(3.6)^{t}. Exponential growth function.

3. f(t) = 0.72(15)^{t}. Exponential growth function.

4. A = \frac{4}{9} (8)^{t}. Exponential growth function.

5. A = (\frac{4}{3})^{t}. Exponential growth function.

6.  H = \frac{7}{2} (\frac{5}{6} )^{t}. Exponential decay function.

7. g(x) = 0.3(x). Not an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. H = 5.9(0.82)^{t}. This is an exponential decay function.

As the value of t increases H-value decreases.

2. y = 0.8(3.6)^{t}. This is an exponential function of growth.

As the value of t increases y-value also increases.

3. f(t) = 0.72(15)^{t}. This is an another example of exponential growth function.

As the value of t increases f(t)-value also increases.

4. A = \frac{4}{9} (8)^{t}. This is again an example of exponential growth function.

As the value of t increases A-value also increases.

5. A = (\frac{4}{3})^{t}. This is again an example of exponential growth function.

As the value of t increases A-value also increases.

6. H = \frac{7}{2} (\frac{5}{6} )^{t}. This is another an example of exponential decay function.

As the value of t increases, H-value decreases.

7. g(x) = 0.3(x). This is a non-exponential function. (Answer)

Find the slope given the following ordered <br><br> 2,-3 and 6,-13
saw5 [17]

You would have to use this equation : y2-y1/x2-x1 = slope

So it would be -13 +3/6-2= -10/4

Simplify it and you get : -5/2

Slope is -5/2

anzhelika [568]

HERE IS THE FULL PROBLEM!!!!

the table below lists four names and their corresponding aproximant weights on earth.

________________________________

mass (kilograms)     |     weight (newtons)

      20                     |              196

      50                     |              490

       x                       |            1078

     130                     |             1274

     140                     |              1372

the ratio weight to mass in contant. wich statemen describes the ratio of weight to mass and the value of x in the table?

A. 98/10; X =90

B. 98/10; =110

C. 10/98; X =90

D. 10/98; X= 110
