For this case we must algebraically rewrite the given expression. So:
x: It is the variable that represents an unknown number
"double a number" is represented as: 
"6 less than double a number" is represented as: 
So, the final expression is:
If we want to rewrite the expression in an equivalent way, we take common factor 2:
Asnwer:
Equivalent expression:
3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10
Use the distributive property:
3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10
Combine like terms:
7x -14 = 10
Add 14 to both sides:
7x = 24
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 24/7
Answer:
5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
Let's test it.
Initial:
10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500
Let's try our equation.
f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x
x = 2
10,000(1.5)^2
10,000(2.25) = 22,500
The same!
Answer:
Hey there!
f(x)=5x+3
f(5)=5(5)+3
f(5)=25+3
f(5)=28
