Answer: Choice A, x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 9x−(3x+9)=2x−25
2. 9x-3x-9=2x-25
3. 6x-9=2x-25
4. 6x-9=2x-25
-2x -2x
5. 4x-9=-25
+9 +9
6. 4x=-16 (divide both sides by 4)
7. x=-4
Answer:
$54.20
Step-by-step explanation:
minute=m
total monthly cost = p
39.99 + .49m = p
39.99 + .49(29) =p
39.99 + 14.21 =p
54.2 =p
The y intercept of this function is always (0, a).
This is because when we place 0 in for x (which is the only way it'll be on the y-axis, we get 'a' as a result. This is because of the rule that raising anything to the 0th power will result in the number 1 and multiplying anything by 1 gives us the same number. See the work below for the example.
F(x) = a*b^x
F(0) = a*b^0
F(0) = a*1
F(0) = a
And for an example with a random number, we'll use a = 5 and b = 3
F(x) = 5*3^x
F(0) = 5*3^0
F(0) = 5*1
F(0) = 5
No matter what a and b equal, the intercept will be the a value.
Answer:
X=-97
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is substitute the y value from the 1st equation into the second equation and solve...
a) y= 2-x
5x + 4y = 5
Substitute (2-x) into the second equation anywhere there is a y...
5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(2-x) = 5
Now solve
5x + 8 - 4x = 5
5x - 4x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
Now that you have a solution for x, substitute -3 into either of the original equations anywhere there is an x then solve for y...
y = 2 - x
y = 2 - (-3)
y = 2+3 = 5
You solved for x and got -3 and solved for y and got 5, so your solution set is
(-3, 5).
Now check it by substituting both numbers into one of the original equations and you should have a true statement if it is correct...
y = 2 - x
5 = 2 - (-3)
5 = 2+3
5 = 5
True statement... it checks!
note* during the check, if the equation would have worked out to something like 2 = 5, then that is a false statement therefore the solution set would be wrong and you'd have to go back and find the mistake.
