First, you add like terms. In this case, the like terms are 6 and 3.
4x + 6 + 3 = 17
4x + 9 = 17
Then, subtract 9 on each side:
4x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9
4x = 8
Then divide by 4 on each side to get the x by itself:
4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2
Subtract 5x from both sides
0=-30x
Divide both sides by -30
0=x
Final answer: x=0
Hope this helps!
If f(x)=2x-1 just plug in the 3 where x is. So it would be 2(3)-1=5
I believe it should be 5.3487 since 283% is converted into 2.83 and multiplied by 1.89.
If you would like to know the Tom's pay for the week, you can calculate this using the following steps:
P = B * h
P ... the pay
B ... the base pay
h ... the number of hours worked
B = $6.35
h = 28 hours
P = B * h = $6.35 * 28 hours = $177.8
<span>Tom's pay for the week would be $177.8.</span>
