Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make an equation that meets the requirements stated.

Decreased signifies subtraction, so 12 will reduce the value after it. A number can be any letter you'd like, but I'll stick to x. Since 2 is multiplying <em>that</em> number, we can make 2 the coefficient. Finally, set it equal to 8.

12 - 2x = 8 Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

-2x = -4 Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation.

x = 2

Which is the graph of f(x) = 100(0.7)x?
julia-pushkina [17]
I'm assuming the function is f(x) = 100(0.7)^x. This is the same as y = 100(0.7)^x because y = f(x). 

Plug in x = 0 to get
y = 100(0.7)^x
y = 100(0.7)^0
y = 100(1)
y = 100
So (x,y) = (0,100) is one point on this function curve

Plug in x = 2 to get
y = 100(0.7)^x
y = 100(0.7)^2
y = 100(0.49)
y = 49
So (x,y) = (2,49) is another point on this curve

In summary, the two points on this function curve are (0,100) and (2,49)

svetoff [14.1K]
If the length of the entire screwdriver is 19cm, and the handle is 5cm, subtract the length of the handle from the total length to find the length of the top of the screwdriver.
19 - 5 = 14
The top of the screwdriver is 14cm long.
