Your first goal is to get all the X’s to one side of the equation.

So:

3x - 5 = 9x + 8 - 5x

+5x +5x

8x - 5 = 9x + 8

-9x -9x

-1x - 5 = 8

Now that you have all the X variables simplified and on one side, you make sure all of you constant terms are on the other side.

-1x - 5 = 8

+5 +5

-1x = 13

Because you can’t have a negative X, you divide the entire equation by -1.

-1x = 13

-1

x = -13

Dividing by -1 will give you the inverse of the equation which is positive one x equals negative thirteen.

Answer:

Option B. $x = \frac{13}{k}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is kx - 4 = 9

We will add 4 on both the sides of the equation

kx - 4 +4 = 9 +4

kx = 13

Now we will divide by k on both the sides of the equation

$\frac{1}{k}(13x) = \frac{1}{k}13$

$x = \frac{13}{k}$

Therefore Option B x = 13/k is the right answer.

Find the highest common factor using prime factorization for 27y and 54y³

amid [387]

Given:

27y and 54y³

To find:

The highest common factor (HCF) using prime factorization.

Solution:

We have,

27y and 54y³

Using the prime factorization, we get

$27y=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y$

$54y^3=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y$

Now, the common prime factors are 3, 3, 3 and y. So,

$HCF=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y$

$HCF=27y$

Therefore, the highest common factor of the given terms is 27y.

Tamara is a real estate agent and makes 5% commission on her total sales. She sells a home that worth $350,000. What is her comm

4vir4ik [10]

Since Tamara makes 5% commission on her sales, this in decimal form is presented as .05. So we can find 5% of her $350,000 sale by multiplying her commission rate by her total sale. Her commission rate is .05 and her sale is 350,000, when we multiply that number we get 17,500.
Tamara's commission on this house is $17,500.
