Think of the given

<span>f(x) = 2.8x - 12
g(x) = 5.8x + 9

as 

</span><span>y = 2.8x - 12
y = 5.8x + 9

We want the value of x, not the value of y.  So, subtract the 2nd equation from the first.  Doing so will eliminate the variable y and leave you with one equation in the variable x.  Solve for this x value.
</span><span> 
 y= 2.8x - 12 
 -y =-(5.8x + 9)
--------------------
 0 = -3x - 21     What is the value of x?</span>

Answer:

A) x = -7 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : f(x) = 2.8x - 12

g(x) = 5.8x + 9.

To find : What is the x-coordinate at the point of intersection for these equations.

Solution : We have given that

y = 2.8x - 12  ------- ( equation 1)

y = 5.8x + 9--------( equation 2)

On subtracting equation 2 from equation 1.

y = 2.8x - 12

(-)y = (-)5.8x +(-) 9

______________

0=  - 3x - 21

On adding 21 both sides

21 = -3x

On dividing both sides by -3 and switching sides .

x = -7 .

Therefore, x = -7 .

A book sold 39,300 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6.3% of the number of copies sold to date. How
konstantin123 [22]
Hi there! So 39,300 copies of a book were sold on debut month of release, and that represents 6.3% of all copies sold to date. To find the total amount of copies sold, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

39,300/x = 6.3/100

We set it up like this because 39,300 is part of the total amount, and it represents 6.3% of the total book sales. Percents are parts of 100, which is why 6.3 is above 100. Let's cross multiply the values. 39,300 * 100 is 3,930,000. 6.3 * x is 6.3x. that makes 3,930,000 = 6.3x. Divide each side by 6.3 to isolate the x. 6.3x/6.3 cancels out. 3,930,000/6.3 is 623,809.5238 or 623,810 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The total amount of copies sold to date is about 623,810.
