Answer:
6(x-8)=5-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
so we have six times the difference between a number and 8
that is 6(x-8).
is equal to 5 less than twice the number ..we have
=5-2x.
therefore, our answer becomes:
6(x-8)=5-2x
-x - y = -5
y = x + 1
-x -(x + 1) = -5
-x - x - 1 = -5
-2x = -5 + 1
-2x = -4
x = -4/-2
x = 2
y = x + 1
y = 2 + 1
y = 3
solution is : (2,3)
Alex bought all the string needed for $125.
It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.
So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.
And the variable cost is $18.
In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

The total cost to make 50 puppets=$1025
Only A
And only when x = 1
Nothing else works.
You would subitute -2 for x in the equation
f(-2)=x^2-6
PEMDAS so exonents
-2^2-6
negative times a negative= positive
4-6
f(-2)=-2
f(x) means that you subsitute x for x in the equation exg
f(1)=x+2 means f(1)=1+2
f(4)=x+2 means f(4)=4+2
