Answer:

x=\frac{16}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x) = -5x +1+3

Which can be rewritten also as

f(x) = -5x +4

We want to find the values of x for which

f(x) = -12

In order to do that, we just substitute -12 into f(x), and we solve the equation for x:

-12 = -5x + 4\\-16 = -5x\\x=\frac{-16}{-5}=\frac{16}{5}

If there was a number other than 0 before the decimal point, it would serve as the whole number in our final answer.
First count the number of digits after the decimal point. For this problem it's 4.
Then make the denominator 10 raised to the power of your answer in the first step so the denominator for this question is 10⁴=10000
The numerator will be the number after the decimal point.
The fraction will be = 112/10000
Then reduce it to the lowest term
If you divide the numerator and denominator by 16 you get 7/625 which is the lowest possible fractional term.

Find a polynomial, which, when added to the polynomial 5x^2–3x–9, is equivalent to:
djyliett [7]
So you need to turn 5x^2 -3x -9 into 2x - 3. 

Well first you need  to take 5x^2 out by subtracting 5x^2 (-5x^2). 

Then -3x needs to become 2x by adding 5x (+5x). 

Finally -9 needs to become -3 by adding 6 (+6).

Put all the things you did together to make a polynomial.
-5x^2 + 5x + 6
