Your math problem:0.5(2x+2)=-4

Simplify both sides of the equation:
0.5(2x+2)=-4
Distribute: (0.5) (2x) + (0.5) (2) = -4
You will get x + 1 = -4 (subtract from both sides.)
x=-5
0.5(2*-5+2)=4 <- that was the check
So now you know you’re correct!!
So that’s you’re final answer
x= -5
Hope I helped!!

0.5(2x+2)=-4

Multiply by 2 on both sides

2x+2=-8

Subtract 2 on both sides

2x=-10

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=-5

A sequence is defined by the formula f(n + 1) = f(n) – 3. If f(4) = 22, what is f(1)?
julsineya [31]

f(n) = f(n+1) +3

f(1) = f(2) +3

f(2) =f(3) +3

f(3) = f(4) +3

So f(1) = f(n) + 3* (n-1)

Put n=4 here so you found

f(1) = f(4) + 3* 3

= 22 +9

=31 ans

In a shipment of airplane parts, 5% are known to be defective. If 21 parts are found to be defective, how many parts are in the
horrorfan [7]

We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

Identify the vertex and axis of symmetry.<br> f(x) = 3(x+7)²-5
Verizon [17]

Answer:

haiii i can only solve for the vertex...

Step-by-step explanation:

so to find the vertex you have to make it to

y - h = a(x - k)^2

i think

(you could also just make it y = a(x - k)^2 + h but i like the second one better)

soo

y + 5 = 3(x + 7)^2

the vertex is

(-7, -5)

and ummm i think the axis for the axis of symmetry .ss

x = 2a/b but im not sure
