Subtract 3x from both sides:
-6y = -3x + 6
divide both sides by -6 to get y by itself:
y = 1/2x - 1
function notation is rewriting y as a function:
f(x) = 1/2x -1
Answer:
x = approx. 1.24 or -7.24
Step-by-step explanation:
It's hard to factor directly so we should use the quadratic formula or complete the square. I'm going to go with completing the square.
x²+6x-9=0
x²+6x=9
x²+6x is the same as x²+2·3·x, in order to make this into the algebraic identity (A+B)²=A²+2AB+B², we must add B², or in this case 3² to both sides. (A is x, B is 3)
x²+6x+9=18
(x+3)²= 18
x+3= ±√18
x= ±4.24 -3 (approximately 4.24)
First solution for x = 4.24-3 = 1.24
Second solution for x = -4.24-3 = -7.24
Answer:
51715x/19x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amount invested in 2% CD and y = amount invested in 3% CD
x + y = 60000
0.02x + 0.03y = 1600
SOLVE THE 1st EQUATION FOR x AND SUBSTITUTE RESULT IN 2nd
0.02(60000 - y) + 0.03y = 1600
1200 - 0.02y + 0.03y = 1600
0.03y = 400
y = 13333.34
x = 46666.66
