Answer:
2 is the value that provides the same result with f(x) and g(x).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this by saying:
f(x) = g(x)
and then solving for x.
So let's do it:
This tells us that when x = 2, the two functions will have identical values. Let's try them out to confirm it!
f(x) = -0.5x + 2
f(2) = -0.5 * 2 + 2
f(2) = -1 + 2
f(2) = 1
g(x) = 2x - 3
g(2) = 2 * 2 - 3
g(2) = 4 - 3
g(2) = 1
So we can see that 2 is the value that produces the same result in both charts.
Answer:
24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
That's very interesting. I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:
-- 0:
A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 1:
A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).
-- 2:
A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
(it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.
-- 3:
A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .
-- 4:
A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 5:
A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.
-- 6:
A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 7:
A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .
-- 8:
A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.
-- 9:
A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .
So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits 1, 3, 7, or 9 in its units place.
It CAN't have a 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8 .
The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is 'A' .
2.5y + 3x = 27
5x - 2.5y = 5
Align the variables to make solving this easier.
2.5y + 3x = 27
-2.5y + 5x = 5
You can see that the 2.5y and -2.5y cancel each other out. Then add the 3x and 5x, and 27 + 5.
3x = 27
5x = 5
8x = 32
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 4
Now input that x into one of the equations to get y.
2.5y + 3(4) = 27
2.5y + 12 = 27
2.5y = 15
y = 6
The answer to this system of equations is x = 4, y = 6. (4, 6)
