[x-1]=5x+10

We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10

x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4

2) x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2

we have two  possible solutions:
solution₁;       x=-11/4
solution₂:       x=-3/2

we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4  - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4  + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4   This solution don´t work.

2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2  - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2  + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.

Therefore:

Answer: x=-3/2.

Solution #1 x-1=5x+10


x-1=5x+10

x-5x=10+1

-4x=11

x=-11/4

Solution #2 x-1=-(5x+10)


x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-5x-10

x+5x=-10+1

6x=-9

x=-9/6=-3/2  

We have two  possible<span> outcomes. </span>

2.4 + 5.4q – 4.5q + 3.6<br><br> a.6+1.1q<br> b.9.9q+6<br> c.0.9q+6<br> d.9.9q-6
Yuri [45]
You have to add the same kind of terms, in this case the ones that have a variable (5.4q and -4.5q) and the ones that don't (2.4 and 3.6), like this:

(5.4q - 4.5q) + (2.4 + 3.6) = 0.9q + 6

The answer is c. 0.9 +6

Ms.Lopez has created a floor plan of a dollhouse. The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches
harina [27]

Answer:

(a)Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

(b)Area of the living room =144 square inches

(c)Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room =336 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom.

The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches

Let the area of bedroom=b

Let the area of living room=l

(a) The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

b=\frac{1}{6}X576=96 square inches

(b)The area, in square inches, of the living room

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

l= \frac{3}{2}X96=144 square inches

(c)The total area of the house =576 square inches

Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

Area of the living room =144 square inches

Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room

=576-(96+144)=576-240=336 square inches.

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

This is gotten by subtracting the area of the bedroom and living room from the total area of the house.

Look at this set of ordered pairs:
forsale [732]

Answer: Yes

If I remember correctly, I believe these ordered pairs indicate a function, as there is exactly 1 output for every input (i.e., (output, input)). If there were 2 inputs of the same number, that'd make this relation not a function.
