Your question is incomplete, here is the complete form.

Points J, K and L are collinear with J between L and K.  If KJ = 2x - 3, LK = 9x + 7 and LJ = 4x - 8,  solve for x:

Answer:

The value of x is -6 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ J, K, and L are collinear

→ That means they form a straight segment

∵ J is between K and L

→ That means J divides LK into two segments KJ and LJ

∴ LK = KJ + LJ

∵ LK = 9x + 7

∵ KJ = 2x - 3

∵ LJ = 4x - 8

→ Substitute them in the equation above

∴ 9x + 7 = (2x - 3) + (4x - 8)

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∵ 9x + 7 = (2x + 4x) + (-3 - 8)

∴ 9x + 7 = 6x + -11

∴ 9x + 7 = 6x - 11

→ Subtract 7 from both sides

∵ 9x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 11 - 7

∴ 9x = 6x - 18

→ Subtract 6x from both sides

∵ 9x - 6x = 6x - 6x - 18

∴ 3x = -18

→ Divide both sides by 3

∵ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-18}{3}

∴ x = -6

∴ The value of x is -6

McSaw’s Ice Cream makes muffins that cost $.60 each. Past experience shows that 10% of the muffins will become stale and have to
allochka39001 [22]
Well, due to that 10% of the muffins get wasted and do not sell,
plus work that goes into it, the price of the ice-cream is  not 0.60,
but 55% more, or markup above that cost value

so... how much would each muffin sell for? well, each muffin will be,
0.60 + 55% of 0.60

how much is 55% of 0.60?
{{ 55}}\%\ of\ 0.60 \implies  \cfrac{{{ 55}}}{100}\cdot 0.60\implies {{ 55}}\div 100\cdot 0.60

get the 55%, and add it to the 0.60, that's how much each will sell for

What is the value of f(7)
kkurt [141]
F(7) means f(x) when x = 7. The x is replaced with 7.

So we'll replace every x with 7 to go from x = 7 to 3-x = 3-7 = -4

Put another way
f(x) = 3-x
f(7) = 3-7
f(7) = -4

Answer: -4
