When –3 is multiplied by the sum of a number and 8, the result is –21. Find the number.

1 answer:

6 0

-3 times (x+8)=-21
-3(x+8)=-21
distributive property=a(b+c)=ab+ac
-3(x+8)=-3x+(-3)(8)=-3x-24
-3x-24=-21
add 3x to both sides
-24=-21+3x
add 21 to both sides
-3=3x
divide both sids by 3
-1=x

x=-1

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x(18x + 4)

f(x) = 18x^2 + 4x

Antiderivative = 18 * (x^2+1)/(2 + 1) -+4x(1+1) / (1+1) + C

= 18x^3 / 3 + 4x^2 / 2 + C

= 6x^3 + 2x^2 + C.

Checking by differentiating:

f'(x) = 6*3 x^(3-1) + 2*2x^(2-1)

= 18x^2 + 4x

= x(18 -+4)

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$69

Step-by-step explanation:

A phone sells for $245 it is now on sale for 1/5 off the original price. Find the sale price:

$\$245-\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot \$245=\$245-\$49=\$196$

April has a coupon for a extra 10% off the sale price. Find how much will April pay using her discount coupon:

$\$196-\$196\cdot 0.1=\$196-\$19.6=\$176.4$

Therefore, April will pay

$\$245-\$176.4=\$68.6\approx \$69$

less.
