What is the answer for -2x = 34

Mathematics

Alinara [238K]3 years ago

Hello!

Answer:

\boxed{X=-17}

<u><em>*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign!*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{34}{-2}

Then, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

34/-2=-17

\boxed{X=-17}, which is our the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D

-Charlie

Thank you!

To solve:

-2x = 34
----- -----
-2 -2

(-2x means -2 times x, so to undo this we need to divide by -2 on both sides)

x = -17

Then you do basic division (knowing that a positive divided by a negative results in a negative answer). And that's it!

Which of these statements best describes the relation shown in Item 1?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

It is a many-to-one relation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for relation

Required

What type of function is it?

The relation can be represented as:

\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ \\-5\\-2\\1\\5\end{array}\right]         \left[\begin{array}{c}y\\ \\10\\11\\4\\10\end{array}\right]

Where

x = domain and y = range

Notice that the range has an occurrence of 10 (twice)

i.e.

(x_1,y_1) = (-5,10) and (x_2,y_2) = (5,10)

In function and relations, when two different values in the domain point to the same value in the range implies that, <em>the relation is many to one.</em>
