12000 = 2x - 1500
12000 + 1500 = 2x
13500 = 2x
13500/2 = x
6750 = x <=== original price
Answer:
2x^3 - 2x^2 - 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(x - 3)(x + 2)
= 2x ( x^2 + 2x -3x - 6)
= 2x (x^2 - x - 6)
= 2x^3 - 2x^2 - 12x (answer).
Answer:
Answers:
Rate of change = -5
Initial value = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Each time x increases by 2 (eg from x = 1 to x = 3), the value of y drops by 10 (eg from y = 20 to y = 10)
Therefore the slope is...
slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x) = -10/2 = -5
slope = -5
So each time x increases by 1, y will decrease by 5
Flip things around: each time x decreases by 1, y will increase by 5
So the pair (x,y) = (1,20) shown in row 1 of the table leads to (0,25) based on the rule above. Another way to see this is to plug m = -5, x = 1 and y = 20 into y = mx+b and solve for b to get b = 25
Answer:
2x=-1 or x=-0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-6=10x-3 (-4x)
-6=6x-3 (+3)
-3=6x (divide by 3)
-1=2x
