Add 1/(x-8) to both sides
cross multiply or multply both sides by (5-x)(x-8)
5(x-8)=5-x
distribute
5x-40=4-x
minus x from both sides
4x-40=4
add 40 to both sides
4x=44
divide by 4
x=11
It rises to the right so the slope is negative
Slope = rise / run = 18 / -9 = -2
The y intercept is at y = -3 so using the form y = mx + b we get
y = -2x - 3 which is option B (answer)
2.3 is smaller than 2.6: we can see it just by looking at the digits from left to right.
now, where does 2

stand?
its fraction part is equal to
do that means that 2

=2.8
which is bigger than 2.6
so the final order is
2.3 2.6 2
3.
You could probably look up a fancy explanation of why this is, by I just went the easy route.
1 is definitely possible.
2 is too!
(Sorry if the images are hard to see)
So the answer has got to be 3!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
, 2 , 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = - 3 ≠ 2 , then
g(- 3) =
× (- 3)² - 4 =
× 9 - 4 =
- 4 = 
x = 2 then g(2) = 2
x = 4 ≠ 2 , then
g(4) =
× 4² - 4 =
× 16 - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4
