Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to combine like terms in order to begin simplifying. This is done by subtracting 2x from 6x. Also, add 7 to 23.
6x + 10 - 2x = 7 + 23
4x + 10 = 7 + 23
4x + 10 = 30
Now, you have a two-step equation. Subtract 10 from both sides, and then divide by 4.
4x + 10 = 30
4x = 20
x = 5 is the final answer.
Vertical compression of a function is moving the graph of the function towards the x axis.
It is done by multiplying F(x) with IaI<1, the absolute value of a is less than 1. Then we get f(x)=a*F(x).
If we have a function F(x)=x, and we multiply it by a=1/2, we get:
f(x)=a*F(x)=a*x=(1/2)*x.
This linear function is vertically compressed because the the graph of a new function is closer to the x axis.
6/13, when turned into a decimal, is equal to 0.4615384615... And so on. That decimal can be rounded to the nearest hundredth to become 0.46.
Is 0.46 closer to 0.5, or 0? When put on a number line, we can see how close it is to 0.5, which is the same as 1/2.
6/13, rounded to the nearest half, is 1/2.
Hope this helped =)
