Answer:

Only options a ,b,d have the same solution as \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An equation:  \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x    ....[1]

Like terms states that contain the same variables raised to the same power.

Combine like terms on left hand side in equation [1] we get,

\frac{3}{5}x+x +\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

\frac{8}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

we get option (a) as the same solution.

Using LCM(Least Common ) to change each fraction to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator

Taking LCM both sides in Equation (1) ,

\frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

As LCM(3,5)=15 and LCM(2,5)=10 we have,

\frac{9x+10+15x}{15}= \frac{5-2x}{10}

On simplifying we get,

10(9x+10+15x)= 15(5-2x)=

Dividing both sides by 5 we get,

\frac{10(9x+10+15x)}{5} =\frac{15(5-2x)}{5}

On simplify:

2(9x+10+15x)=3(5-2x)

∴ 18x+20+30x=15-6x

which is same solution as given in option (b).

Now,

Use Additive Property of Equality states that allows one to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation.

Further, using the above property add 6x both sides  in  18x+20+30x=15-6x we get,

18x+20+30x+6x=15-6x+6x

On simplifying we get,

18x+20+30x+6x=15

Subtract 20 from both the sides we get,

18x+20+30x+6x-20=15-20

Simplify:

18x+30x+6x=-5

or, 24x+30x=-5 which is same solution  as given in option(d)

But, options c and e equation doesn't have same solution as \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

If I remember how to do this right I’m pretty sure you just divid by 178.90 by 5.75 wich gives you 31.11 for the tax rate

Find the average rate of change of f(x) = -x² + 5x+2 from x=3 to x=6.
ivolga24 [154]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The points at the ends of the interval are ...

  (3, f(3)) = (3, 8)

  (6, f(6)) = (6, -4)

The slope is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (-4 -8)/(6 -3) = -12/3 = -4

The average rate of change is -4.
