2 (x - 3) = 2
2x - 6 = 2
2x = 2 + 6
2x = 8
x = 8 / 2
x = 4

So, your final answer is 4

Hope this helps!

I think: 2x-6=2; 2x=8;x=4

Solve for x: 10^x = 9 A. x = log⁡ 9 B. x = log^9 ⁡10 C. x = log ⁡10

romanna [79]

Answer:

A. x = log 9

Step-by-step explanation:

10^x = 9

Log both sides:

log 10^x = log 9
x log 10 = log 9
x*1 = log 9
x = log 9

Correct choice is A

Raul has $460 in his checking account. Each month, $45 is automatically deducted from his account to pay for his cell phone plan

olasank [31]

Answer:

7 Months

Step-by-step explanation:

x=number of months

how much is deducted total=number of months times amount deducted per m onth

amount deducted per month=45

number of months=x

how much deducted total=45x

460-deducted total is more than 100

460-45x>100

solve for x

add 45x to both sides

460>100+45x

subtract 100

360>45x

divide both sides by 45

8>x

answer is 7 months

if he does 8 months, then he will have exatly 100 and 100 is noe more than 100

1. Maryann is tracking the change in her vertical jump over 6 months. Use the table to write a linear function that models her j

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

$m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=16$ -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16$

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

$m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}$

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

$m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

$point\ (3, 1)$

substitute

$y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)$

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=-(x-5)$

$4y-4=-x+5$

$x-4y=-4-5$

$x-4y=-9$

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The independent variable is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The dependent variable it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters more than the width.if both the width and the length were tripled,the area would be 1

Sonbull [250]

Since both the length and the width are tripled, the area will be nine times larger. To counter this, divide by nine. 108/9=12 Divide this by 2 to get one length and one width. You get 6. 1+5=6 and 1 is 4 smaller than 5, so the width of this rectangle is 1 cm and the length is 5 cm.
