Answer:

f(x)=−5x−20

Step-by-step explanation:

It's decreasing 5 degrees every hour, which is represented by -5x

You also have to take away the 20 (-20) from where it started.

So, f(x)=−5x−20

Answer:

f(x) = -5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = starting temperature + decreasing temperature * number of hours

= -20 + (-5) * x

= -20 - 5x

Which equation has solution x = -3?

____ [38]

A) 2x - 7 = -1

Add 7 to both sides of the equation.

2x = 6

x = 3

Choice A is not the answer.

B) 3x + 8 = 1

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = -7

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -2.3 repeating

Choice B is not the answer.

C) 1/2x + 8 = 10

1/2x = 2

Divide both sides by 1/2.

x = 4

Choice C is not the answer.

By process of elimination, choice D is the answer.

D) 1/2(2x - 6) = -6

x - 3 = -6

Add 3 to both sides.

x = -3

130 is 65% of what number?

mina [271]

X - the number

$65\% x=130 \\
\frac{65}{100}x=130 \\
\frac{13}{20}x=130 \\
x=130 \times \frac{20}{13} \\
x=10 \times 20 \\
x=200$

130 is 65% of 200.

2(-4y-7)+3=11 solve for y

Vikki [24]

Answer:

y = -11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( -4y - 7) + 3 = 11

-8y - 14 + 3 = 11

-8y - 11 = 11

-8y = 22

y = -11/4
