Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to get 9:

3x = 4(x - 2.25)

Solve 4(x - 2.25)

3x = 4x - 9

Move the variable to the left side and change it's sign

3x - 4x = -9

Combine like terms

-x = -9

change the signs

x = 9

There ya go! I hope this isn't too confusing!

I’m working on 3 and 4 only maybe if I can have some explanation so I can understand and do more of these next week.

4.b.

Answer:  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>For the equation f(x) = 2x</u></h2>

3.a.  f(6) means use x = 6 in the equation f(x) = 2x

so f(6) would be f(6)= 2(6)

<u>f(6) = 12</u>

3.b.  f(-11) = 2(-11)

<u>f(-11) = -22</u>

3.c.  f(2.75) = 2(2.75)

<u>f(2.75) = 5.5</u>

3.d.  This is turned around.  We are told f(x)=20, so what would x need to be for f(x) to be 20?  Since f(x) = 2x, we can say 20 = 2x.  Therefore x = 10

f(10) = 20

<u>The rest of (3) are solved in the same fasion.h</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>For the equation  f(x)= 5x+50</u></h2>

4.a.  f(7) = 5(7)+50

<u>f(7) = 85</u>

4.b. f(-12)

  f(-12) = 5*(-12)+50

<u>f(-12) = -60</u>

<u></u>

Continue in the same fashion for these types of problems.

A person is trapped in a burning building 60feet off the ground. A rescuer has a 70 foot ladder, but for safety purposes the lad
Neko [114]
Yes because, if the building is 60 ft from the ground and the ladder is 70 ft,shouldn’t it escalate an extra 10 ft because this is technically an emergency and it can be considered to be used as a reason for safety purposes, if I’m not mistaken
