When you know your equation f(x) and they want you to find f(-4), it means that they want to know what f(x) is worth when x=-4
Therefore, you only need to plug in you x in the equation
f(x)=5x-2
f(-4)=5(-4)-2
=-20-2
=-22 (B)
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
Answer:
the student that is correct is Gene and the solution is x=10
1/3 oranges were spoiled.....u threw away 4 oranges...
1/3 of what = 4....
1/3x = 4
x = 4 * 3
x = 12 oranges
1/4 grapefruits were spoiled....u threw away 7
1/4 of what = 7
1/4x = 7
x = 7 * 4
x = 28
so ur fruit basket contained 12 oranges and 28 grapefruits before u discarded the spoiled ones
Answer:
Hey there!
There is this equation, which states that the angle created by an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc.
Thus, we can write: 60=5x-5
65=5x
x=13
Let me know if this helps :)
