So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.
First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.
Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.
260= 3/2x + 5x
Combine like terms.
260 = 13/2x
Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)
X=40
Distribute 3 throught the parentheses
Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
Collect like terms
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
( y - 4 ) ( y² + 4 y + 16 ) =
= y³ + 4 y² + 16 y - 4 y² - 16 y - 64 = y³ - 64
If the result is the polynomial of the form:
y³ + 4 y² + a y - 4 y² - a y - 64
a = 16
Answer:
-x > -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with a positive number less than 5.
4<5
likewise when applied to -x> -5
-4>-5
Answer:
C. (1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in the x to get the y in the equation. The point must fit the formula.
Plug in C. (1, -3), in which x = 1, y = -3:
(-3) = 2(1) - 5
Simplify:
(-3) = 2(1) - 5
-3 = 2 - 5
-3 = -3 (True).
C is your answer.
