Because jonny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby and bobby's list had 3 more than twice that of johny, the "twice" is 5. Two possible answers for this problem could be 13 and 5 since they both satisfy the requirement. if you can't logically deduct a function for it, look at the problem closely, then test and guess! Have fun with math!

Answer:

<h2>Bobby made the Christmas list with 13 items, and Johnny with only 5 items.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Bobby's Christmas list hat 3 more than twice as many items than Johnny's". This statement is represented by:

B=2J+3; where B is Bobby, and J is Johnny.

Then, the problem states, "Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby", it's represented by:

J=B-8

Now, to find the value of each variable, we solve this system of equations by substitution:

B=2J+3\\B=2(B-8)+3\\B=2B-16+3\\13=2B-B\\B=13

Then, we replace this into second equation to find J:

J=B-8=13-8=5

Therefore, Bobby made the Christmas list with 13 items, and Johnny with only 5 items.

Can someone please help 4x + 2x + 1 = 2x - x + 21
erica [24]

Answer: Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

4*x+2*x+1-(2*x-x+21)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Pulling out like terms

1.1 Pull out like factors :

5x - 20 = 5 • (x - 4)

Equation at the end of step

:

STEP

2

:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : 5 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation :

x = 4

One solution was found :

x = 4

What is the solution to the equation 1/square root of 8 = 4^(m + 2)?
Digiron [165]
Take the log (base 4) of both sides of the equation.
\log_{4}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}}) = m + 2
\frac{-1}{2} \log_{4}(4^{\frac{3}{2}})-2 = m
-2 \frac{3}{4}= m

The appropriate choice is ...
  m = -11/4

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-4)(x+2)
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

x = - 2 or x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

The x- intercepts are at x = - 2, x = 4
