Answer:

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Combine like terms</u>

7 + -7x + -8 - 9x + 5

7 - 7x - 8 - 9x + 5

4 - 16x

<u>Step 2:  Solve for x</u>

4 - 16x - 4 = 0 - 4

-16x/-16 = -4/-16

x = 4/16

x = 1/4

Answer: x = 1/4

To simplify the expression 7 + -7x + -8 - 9x + 5 we can combine like terms.

= (7 - 8 + 5) + (-7x - 9x)

= 4 - 16x

Put the equation in standard form. (ax^2 + bx + c)

-16x + 4

Best of Luck!

If (x - 4) varies inversely as (y + 3) and x = 8 when y = 2, what is x when y = - 1?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if (x-4) and (y+3) vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of x-4 and y+3.

Let x=8 and y=2 as given in the problem. Substitute values:

(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20

Hence, the maintained product is 20.

Thus, we have the following equation:

(x-4)(y+3)=20

Substitute y=-1 to find the value of x when y=-1:

(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}

Can Somebody Please Help With This?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiplier on the function value moves its y-coordinate farther from the x-axis by that multiplier value. It is the stretch factor. Stretch factors less than 1 cause the graph to be compressed vertically.

__

A multiplier on the independent variable means it doesn't need to be as large to give the same function value. That is, multiplication of x by a factor of k compresses the graph horizontally by that factor of k. Equivalently, it does a horizontal stretch by a factor of 1/k.
