Multiply the first bracket by -2
Multiply the second bracket by 2
x-3-12+4x= 4x-10
- negative number times + positive number= - negative number
- negative number times -negative number = + positive number
x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10
5x-15= 4x-10
Move 4x to the other side
5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10
x-15= -10
Move -15 to the other side
x-15+15= -10+15
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change = final - initial / time(in years)
= 41 - 43 / 2014 - 2012
= - 2 / 2
<u>Rate of change</u> = <u>- 1</u>
Therefore, the number of employees with health care benefits reduced by 1 person per year between 2012 - 2014 in response to policy changes.
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that

For each real number 
To prove that f is one -to-one.
Proof:Let
and
be any nonzero real numbers such that

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation of 

Equating the expression then we get




Therefore, f is one-to-one.
Of course it can. It always is if 'x' is less than 2.
