Please explain to me how 3.2÷4=0.8 is done

To make it easier just assume there is no decimal point then just work out the 32÷4 where we know that 4 goes into 32 8 times so you get 8 remember the decimal point and since it was one decimal place you will push the decimal over to the left of 8 and that is how you get 0.8

So the idea with literal equations is to get one variable in terms of all the rest. In this equation, we are trying to solve for x in terms of y (meaning that we are trying to get x all by itself with y on the other side of the equal sign). Whenever you have a single fraction by itself on one side of an equal sign, the first thing that I always do is cross multiply. This gets rid of the fraction completely and makes everything look a little nicer:

y * (5-4x) = 1 * (2x+3)

Distribute on the left side:

5y-4xy = 2x+3

Move the x's all to the same side. I'm doing this by subtracting 2x from both sides:

5y-4xy - 2x = 3

For simplicity's sake, move 5y to the right side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:

-4xy - 2x = 3 - 5y

Factor out the x on the left side:

x (-4y-2) = 3 - 5y

Get the x term by itself on the left side by dividing both sides by -4y-2.

x = (3-5y)/(-4y-2)

And there you have it! I hope that this helped a little. Good luck!

Could you please help with this question for domain, range, and end behavior? I started it, but I think I'm doing it wrong.

It looks like you have the domain confused for the range! You can think of the domain as the set of all "inputs" for a function (all of the x values which are allowed). In the given function, we have no explicit restrictions on the domain, and no situations like division by 0 or taking the square root of a negative number that would otherwise put limits on it, so our domain would simply be the set of all real numbers, R. Inequality notation doesn't really use ∞, so you could just put an R to represent the set. In set notation, we'd write

$\{x\in\re\mathbb{R}\}$

and in interval notation,

$(-\infty,\infty)$

The range, on the other hand, is the set of all possible outputs of a function - here, it's the set of all values f(x) can be. In the case of quadratic equations (equations with an x² term), there will always be some minimum or maximum value limiting the range. Here, we see on the graph that the maximum value for f(x) is 3. The range of the function then includes all values less than or equal to 3. As in inequality, we can say that

$f(x)\leq3$ ,
