If ax +3=7-bx what is x expressed in terms of a and b

1 answer:

6 0

Ax + 3 = 7 - bx .....add bx to both sides
ax + bx + 3 = 7 ...subtract 3 from each side
ax + bx = 7 - 3
ax + bx = 4 ....factor out x
x(a + b) = 4 ...divide both sides by (a + b)
x = 4 / (a + b) <==

Does the table represent a function ? If so, state the domain and range. If not, state why. (Picture)

andrezito [222]

Yes

For f(x) to represent a function each value of x from the domain must only map to one unique value in the range, called one-to-one

This is the case here as each value of x maps to one unique value in the range

domain x ∈ {- 5, - 4, 0, 3 }

range y ∈ {0, 2, 10, 16 }

Eight times the sum of a number and -2 is the same as nine times the number. Find the number

Alik [6]

Answer:

$let \: the \: unknown \: number \: be \: x \\ 8 (x + (- 2) = 9 \times x \\ 8 (x - 2) = 9 \times x \\ 8x - 16 = 9x \\ - 16 = 9x - 8x \\ - 16 = x \\ x = - 16$
