Answer:

x = 6/5 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve:

|5x+2|=8

We know that |u|=a the u = a and u = -a

Now solving:

|5x+2|=8

5x +2 = 8 or 5x +2 = -8

5x = 8-2 or 5x = -8-2

5x = 6 or 5x = -10

x = 6/5 or x = -10/5

x = 6/5 or x = -2

So, x = 6/5 or x = -2

Answer:

(g+5)x(g-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Edmentum/PLATO answer:

Rewrite the expression:

g+1/g^2+5g-3g-15 + g+3/g+5

Factor out g from expression:

g+1/gx(g+5)-3g-15 + g+3/g+5

Factor out g+5:

g+1/(g+5)x(g-3) + g+3/g+5

Least common denominator: (g+5)x(g-3)

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$y=\frac{24}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a certain function is an inverse proportion. We are asked to find the formula for the function if it is known that the function is equal to 12 when the independent variable is equal to 2.

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form $y=\frac{k}{x}$ , where y is inversely proportional to x and k is constant of variation.
