Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

-5(x + 2) = -(-5x + 1) - x

-5x - 10 = 5x - 1 - x

-5x - 10 = 4x - 1

Step 2: Solve for x

-5x - 10 + 5x = 4x - 1 + 5x

-10 + 1 = 9x - 1 + 1

-9 / 9 = 9x / 9

-1 = x

Answer: x = -1

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 1 4 hours. How much does Rachel earn per hour?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $6 \frac{1}{4}$ hours.

i.e

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $\frac{25}{4}$ hours.

Now calculate earning of Rachel for 1 hour .

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{Total\ earning}{Total\ time}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25}{\frac{25}{4}}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25\times 4}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{341}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \$ 13.64$

Therefore Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Let f (x) = -3x + 4. Describe the transformations from the graph of f to the graphs of g(x) = f (x) + 3 and h(x) = f (x - 2).

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Answer:

g(x)=-6/5x+1/2

h(x)=-6/5x-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1). g(x)=−f(x) ?

f(x)=6/5x−1/2

g(x)=−(6/5x−1/2)

g(x)=-6/5x+1/2

2). h(x)=f(−x) ?

f(-x)=6/5(-x)−1/2

f(-x)=-6/5x-1/2

h(x)=-6/5x-1/2
