Answer:

x = 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) - 2 = 5 (Given)

2 · 2x + 2 · 3 - 2 = 5 (Distributive Property of Equality)

4x + 6 - 2 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 - 4 = 5 - 4 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

4x = 1 (Simplify)

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$ (Division Property of Equality)

x = 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$ (Simplify)

F g(x) = 2(x − 4), find the value of x if g(x) = 20.

prisoha [69]

g(x)=2(x-4)

g(x)=20,

20=2(x-4)

20/2=x-4

10=x-4

The population of Clarksville is about 6,000 people. What is the population written as a whole number multiplied by a power of t

kupik [55]

Well 6,000 is actually equal to 1,000 x 6.

It turns out that 1,000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 10^3

So the answer to your question is:

6 x 10^3
