Answer:

The value of x is 2 .

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Three times a number, x, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x.

Thus the equation becomes

3x + 4 = 5x

5x - 3x = 4

2x = 4

$x = \frac{4}{2}$

x = 2

Therefore the value of x is 2 .

Option (b) is correct .

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take this number as x, translating this description of the equation into mathematical language;

$x^2 = 3x - 2$

Now let us solve for x;

$x^2 = 3x - 2,\\x^2+2=3x-2+2,\\x^2+2=3x,\\x^2+2-3x=3x-3x,\\x^2-3x+2=0,\\\\Factored = \left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)=0,\\Zero Factor Principle, \\x = 1, x = 2\\\\Solution - Option A$

For the function f(x)=1/x which of these could be a value of F(x) when x is close to zero

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The function in quadrant I, where y is increasing upward.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller x becomes, the larger f(x) becomes. The answer is that f(x) or y approaches infinity as x becomes smaller and smaller. This helps to understand why division by zero is undefined.

Here you go! Hope this helps!! :-)

patty bought a shirt for $14.50 plus9% tax. ales bought a sweater for $22.95 plus 9% write the sum in dollars that patty and ale

siniylev [52]

Answer: The amount that patty and ales paid including taxes was $40.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of the shirt and sweater together, we first calculate the total cost of shirt and sweater individually.

Amount paid by Patty:

Shirt of $14.50 + 9% tax

Tax paid = $9\%=\frac{9}{100}=0.09$

Amount of tax paid = ($14.50 × 0.09) = $1.305

Amount paid by patty = $14.50 + $1.305 = $15.805

Amount paid by Ales:

Sweater of $22.95 + 9% tax

Tax paid = $9\%=\frac{9}{100}=0.09$

Amount of tax paid = ($22.95 × 0.09) = $2.0655

Amount paid by ales = $22.95 + $2.0655 = $25.0155

Total amount paid by both Patty and ales = $15.805 + $25.0155 = $40.96

Hence, the amount that patty and ales paid including taxes was $40.96.
