Final answer: x=-11
1. distribute 4(x+9)
5+4x+36=-3
2. combine like terms
4x + 41 = -3
3. subtract 41 from each side
4x = -44
4. divide 4 from each side
x=-11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would distribute the 4 with both of the values inside the parenthesis. So 4 times 1x (cause theirs always an invisible 1 beside the x or a -1 if it is a -x) would be 4x and 4 times 9 would be 36. Now you have the problem, 5+4x+36= -3 then you would have to get x alone on one side. So you would subtract 36 from both 36 and -3. That would get you to 5+4x= -39 then you would do the same thing but with the 5. So 4x = -44 ( you can only subtract the number if they have the same values like 4x - 3x, but, that does not apply for multiplying and or dividing). Then you would divide 4x by -44 and get -11 and that would cancel out the 4 so X= -11.

Kyla makes a triangular school pennant. The area of the triangle is 180 square inches. The base of the pennant is z inches long.

kykrilka [37]

We can represent the base as z and the height as 2z+6. We are going to use the formula A=1/2*b*h and solve for z
180=1/2*z*(2z+6)
360=2z^2+6z
0=2z^2+6z-360
0=2(z^2+3z-180)
0=(z+15)(z-12)
So z=-15 and 12 but it must be positive so then the base is equal to 12

When we plug this into 2z+6 we get 30 for the height
2(12)+6=30

Hope this helps

Chen wants to buy a pair of pants that regularly cost $54 . Today, the pants are on sale for 60% of the original price.

Do a proportion
60/100= x/54

Cross multiply and divide
54 x 60= 3,240
3,240 divided by 100 is 32.4

Now subtract
54- 32.4= 21.6
Answer is $21.6

Write an equation that has a graph with the shape of y = x^2, but shifted left 3 units.

svetoff [14.1K]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\
% left side templates
\begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}\\\\
--------------------\\\\$

$\bf % template detailing
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}$

now, with that template in mind, let's see

$\bf y=x^2\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
y=(&1x&-0)^2\\
&B&C
\end{array}$

so, just change C to +3, thus C/B is 3/1

If A is 35% of B, then B:A is 65:35... True or False

False it is not it just said that if B is 100 then A is 35
