2x + a = b   Subtract a from both sides

2x = b - a   Divide both sides by 2

x = \frac{b - a}{2}

-12x - 0.4 > 0.2(36.5x + 80) - 55    Remove the brackets.

-12x - 0.4 > 7.3x + 16 - 55               Combine the like terms on the right

-12x - 0.4 > 7.3x - 39                      Add 12x to both sides

- 0.4 > 7.3x + 12x - 39    

- 0.4 > 19.3x - 39                            Add 39 to both sides.

-0.4 + 39 > 19.3x                              Combine like terms on the left

38.6 > 19.3x                                    Divide by 19.3

38.6 / 19.3 > x

2 > x

21) PLEASE HELP WITH QUESTION. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST + POINTS.

Suppose f(x) = ----------
                          sqrt(x) 
                                                                                                   8
What if we let x = 16 (just an example)?  We'd get f(16) = ------------- = 2.
                                                                                              sqrt(16)

What if we let x = g(x) = 2x+4?

We'd get the following:

                     8
f(g(x)) = -------------- = y
              sqrt(2x+4)

So...the correct answer is the fourth one.

A realtor is decorating some homes for sale, putting a certain number of decorative pillows on each twin bed and a certain numbe
VikaD [51]

The number of decorative pillows did the realtor arrange on each twin bed and queen bed is 6 and 9 respectively.

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

let

  • Number of decorative pillows for twin bed = x
  • Number of decorative pillows for queen bed = y

x + y = 15

2x + y = 21

From equation (1)

x = 15 - y

  • Substitute x = 15 - y into (2)

2x + y = 21

2(15 - y) + y = 21

30 - 2y + y = 21

- 2y + y = 21 - 30

-y = -9

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 into

x + y = 15

x + 9 = 15

x = 15 - 9

x = 6
