No is your answer

Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.

For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5

10 - 5 = 5

5 - 10 = -5

5 ≠ -5

So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.

hope this helps

If f(x) = -2x - 3, find f(0) - 7. <br><br><br>help please!! I will give brainliest!!!!
VikaD [51]

Hi there!

\huge\boxed{-10}

f(x) = -2x - 3

Plug in 0 for "x" to solve for f(0):

f(0) = -2(0) - 3

f(0) = -3

Since the question is asking you to evaluate f(0) - 7, simply subtract:

-3 - 7 = -10.

In Exercises 17-20, find the value of x so that the function has the given value. 17. f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) = 17
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

17.) x = 3

18.) x = -5

I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.

17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17

    17 = 8x -7  ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides

    24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides

    x = 3

18.)    g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27

           27  = -4x + 7  substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides

           20 = -4x

            x = -5

a dollhuse has a bed with diemesions 1/12 size of a queen size bed has an area of 4,800 square inches, and a length of 80 inches
aliina [53]
Divid to get the other side :) so if the doll house is 1/12 of the queen size bed you divid each side by 12 see. 4800/80=60. 80/12=6.6667.... so 60/12=5. so then 5x6 1/3. hope this helps you ... goood luck! :)
