Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
That'd be the Substitution Property. Substitute -2 for x in x + 8 = 6 and arrive at the true statement 6 = 6.
Answer:
\
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try them out and see which one works.
a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one
b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)
c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)
d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one
_____
The appropriate choice is ...
... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6
— — — — —
You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7=-5x-1
x-(-5x)-7=-1
x+5x-7=-1
6x-7=-1
6x=-1+7
6x=6
x=6/6
x=1
Answer:
8 floors
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of employees is directly proportional to the number of floors that each building has.
The first building has 32 floors and it occupies 189 employees. Therefore:
189 α 32
=> 189 = k * 32 = 32k
where k = constant of proportionality
=> k = 189/32
The new building has 50 employees, therefore:
50 = kN
where N = number of floors
=> 50 = 189/32 * N
N = (50 * 32) / 189 ≅ 8 floors
The new building should have 8 floors
