Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x+6(5x-18)=17
-5x+30x-108=17
25x-108=17
25x=17+108
25x=125
x=5
Answer:
2 does not belong
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 2 cups of orange juice make 3 cups of fruit punch. So 2/3 cups of orange juice makes 1 cup of fruit punch. Due to this, you know that 2/3 belongs.
We are given
(a, b) ---------------> (a, −b)
we can see that
x-values of both points are 'a'
which is same
while y-value of first =b
y-value of second =-b
so, y becomes as -y
and we know that
when a function is reflected about x-axis
then y becomes -y
so, option-C.................Answer
Answer: B) -8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
I would start by looking inside the parenthesis to see if anything could be simplified. We see the terms -5 and -3x, and upon realizing that there is no way to simplify, we can go ahead and just simplify the left side of the equation as much as we can before worrying about breaking the equation down. Distribute the -9 to the -5 and the -3x (multiply -9 by -5 and -9 by -3x). Multiplying two negative numbers will result in a positive value, so the left side of your equation should end up looking like this: 45+27x=21. Now, we can start working to get the variable on its own. Subtract 45 from both sides of the equation. On the left side this cancels out and leaves you with 27x. On the right side you have more of the negative value than positive value, so you end up with -24. The equation now looks like this: 27x=24. The only thing left to do is divide the equation by 27. On the left side of the equation, this leaves you with just x. On the right side, you get -24/27. Normally at this point I would divide out to get the decimal form (I prefer working with decimals) but bc the answer choices are all fractions there's not really a good use to, so instead let's just find the greatest common denominator (GCD) which would be 8. (Just as a clarification the GCD is the largest number you can divide both numbers by evenly.) Divide both the numerator and denominator by eight leaves you with -8/9. Therefore, x= -8/9.
