Answer:

x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-5x - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. <u>Distribute:</u> -5x + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8
  2. <u>Combine like terms:</u> -x + 7 = -6x + 8
  3. <u>Add 6x to both sides:</u> 5x + 7 = 8
  4. <u>Subtract 7 on both sides:</u> 5x = 1
  5. <u>Divide by 5 on both sides:</u> x = 1/5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-5(1/5) - (-7 - 4(1/5)) = -2(3(1/5) - 4)

-1 - (-7 - 4/5) = -2(3/5 - 4)

-1 - (-39/5) = -2(-17/5)

-1 + 39/5 = 34/5

34/5 = 34/5

"T<u>he function is decreasing":</u>

This means the slope of the function will be negative at the given point.  Anywhere the line is going down, from left to right, is decreasing.  This eliminates choices A and C.

<u>"The function is concave down":</u>

This means the curve of the function will be open down (think of an upside down u).  This eliminates choice E.

This is anywhere the curve is above the x axis.  This eliminates choice D.

The answer is Choice B) x=2.

Drupady [299]
No unit fractions are shown. (Sometimes editing is required when you copy and paste your question text.)

Selections B and D have 1 as their first digit. We suspect those are supposed to be the unit fractions 1/8 and 1/3, respectively.
