Answer:
3/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/3
The best way to solve this one would be simple cross multiplying. Multiply the top of one side with the bottom of the other side. In this problem you need to multiply X with 8 and multiply 3 with 5. You'll get an equation of 8X=15, then divide both sides by 8 so that you get X by itself. Your answer will them be X=1.875
Answer:
h(8q²-2q) = 56q² -10q
k(2q²+3q) = 16q² +31q
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Replace x in the function definition with the function's argument, then simplify.
h(x) = 7x +4q
h(8q² -2q) = 7(8q² -2q) +4q = 56q² -14q +4q = 56q² -10q

2. Same as the first problem.
k(x) = 8x +7q
k(2q² +3q) = 8(2q² +3q) +7q = 16q² +24q +7q = 16q² +31q

Comment on the problem
In each case, the function definition says the function is not a function of q; it is only a function of x. It is h(x), not h(x, q). Thus the "q" in the function definition should be considered to be a literal not to be affected by any value x may have. It could be considered another way to write z, for example. In that case, the function would evaluate to ...
h(8q² -2q) = 56q² -14q +4z
and replacing q with some value (say, 2) would give 196+4z, a value that still has z as a separate entity.
In short, I believe the offered answers are misleading with respect to how you would treat function definitions in the real world.
2x=16-2y
x=8-y
6(8-y)+4y=38
48-6y+4y=38
48-2y=38
-2y=-10
y=5
8-5=x
x=3 <-Answer
