Answer:

1/5x - 12 = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing says 12 less THAN. Normally, when you see something in word problems like "less than" it means you need to switch the places.

So rather than 12 - 1/5, it's 1/5 - 12.

1/5 of a number means you are multiplying that number by 1/5. we'll use x (or any letter really, doesn't matter) to represent the unknown number.

Remember that if a variable and number is written together, it means multiplication.

So, 1/5x - 12 = -7.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since the question asks for a value of k where the point (5, 0) is part of a solution, plug 5 into the x value and 0 into the y value:

4x-y<=k-6

4(5)-0<=k-6

20-0<=k-6

20<=k-6

26<=k

In this case, k can be equal to any number that is greater than or equal to 26 for the point (5, 0) to be a solution, but the question asks for the minimum value of k, meaning the smallest value. since the question asks for the smallest value, the answer we're looking for is 26.

lmk if this is wrong, hope it helps!!

If f(x)=-3x+4 and g(x)=2, solve for the value of x for which f(x)=g(x) is true

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Fx) = g(x)

−3x + 4 = 2

-3x + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4

-3x = -2

Dividing by -3 on both sides;

(-3x)/-3 = (-2)/-3

x = 2/3
