"Three times the sum of a number and -5" - let the number be x.

"times" indicates multiplication, and "sum" indicates addition. Ignore the "times" part first; that leaves you with "the sum of a number and -5," which is x + (-5) or x - 5. Now include the multiplication bit, and you get 3(x - 5). This will be equal to "-6 times the sum of the number and -2." Similarly, the sum of the two numbers will be multiplied by the first number, -6. You get -6(x - 2). Now you have:

3(x - 5) = -6(x - 2)

Solve. Apply the Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

3(x - 5) = -6(x - 2)

3x - 15 = -6x + 12

Add 15 to both sides to get rid of the constant on the left side of the equation.

3x - 15 = -6x + 12

3x - 15 + 15 = -6x + 12 + 15

3x = -6x + 27

Add 6x to both sides to get rid of the variable term on the right side of the equation.

3x = -6x + 27

3x + 6x = -6x + 27 + 6x

9x = 27

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x.

9x = 27

9x/9 = 27/9

x = 3

Answer:

The number is 3.

3(x-5)=-6(x-2)

3x-15=-6x+12

9x-15=12

9x=27

x=3

Find the domain of the function f(x)= 2x-6​
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Well, the function is F(x)=x^(2)-6x=C so the domain would be found infinite.

All of the numbers are real except where the expression is undefined but in this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.  

Hope this helped, if not, message me and I'll try to explain further.

You invested a total of $15,000 at (mixed fraction) 4 1/2% and 5% simple interest. During one year, the two accounts earned $715
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The two investments are $7000 and $8000 during one year.

The amount $15,000 invested at 4\frac{1}{2}% and 5% simple interest.

During one year, the two accounts earned $715.

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is a method for calculating the amount of interest charged on a sum over a fixed period of time at a given rate.

Let amount x be invested at 4\frac{1}{2}%. Then, amount 15,000-x is invested at 5%.

Now, 4\frac{1}{2}×x+5×15000-x=715

⇒0.045x+0.05(15000-x)=715

⇒0.045x+750-0.05x=715

⇒750-0.005x=715

⇒0.005x=35

⇒x=$7000

Thus, x=$7000 and 15000-x=$8000

Hence, the two investments are $7000 and $8000.
