If he catches 2 out of 5, that mean he catches 14 out of x. We multiply 2 by 7 to get 14, so we multiply 7 by 5 to get 35. 35 balls were thrown at him. To check your work you can simply simplify 14/35 to get 2 out of 5 again. Hope this helps!

What value for x makes the equation true?
fgiga [73]

Since we already have 3^7 you should know that 3 times 3 is 9. Here is how I would simplify it.

3^7 times 3^4 times 3^3

You should add all the exponents and get

3^14

27 is basically 3 times 3 times 3 which is why I chose to put 27 that way

If f(x) = 6 - 5x, what is f(x)^-1? (check attachment)
SCORPION-xisa [38]

f(x) = 6-5x

y = 6-5x .... replace f(x) with y

x = 6-5y .... swap x and y; solve for y

x+5y = 6

5y = 6-x

y = (6-x)/5

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{6-x}{5} ... replace y with the inverse function notation

Please help me I need to solve by factoring!! ​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2=15x

Subtract 15x from both sides

3x^2-15x=0

Factor out 3x

3x(x-5)=0

Since 0 divided by any number is zero, we get that:

x-5=0

x=5
