Answer:

They got 12 by multiplying 3 × 4

Step-by-step explanation:

They used distributive property to multiply the 3 by each number in the parentheses

3 × x/3 = 1x = x

3 × 4 = 12

x + 12 = 6 × 3

They mutliplied 6 × 3 to get 18

x + 12 = 18

They then subtracted both sides by 12 to isolate the variable

x + 12 - 12 = 18 - 12

x = 6

Answer:

hope this helps! lmk if you still dont understand it!

Step-by-step explanation:

you do 3*4 which gives you 12 and 3*x/3, but you should keep it as x

6*3 is 18

x+12=18 (solve for x)

-12=-12

x=6

check the answer:

3*(6/3+4)=6*3

3(2+4)=6*3

6+12=6*3

18=18

A student uses the method of successive approximations to estimate a positive solution of f(x) = g(x), where f(x) = x2 + 10 and

Answer:

The next number selected should be between 2 and 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

x. x f(x) g(x)

0 10 17

1 11 19

2 14 21

3 19 23

4 26 25

3.5 22.25 24

<u>2.5 16.25 22</u>

1.5 12.25 20

0.5 10.25 18

We see the pattern that it is increasing with only a unit. The last given data is mid of the last two values that is 3 and 4.

So the next value would be the mid of the next last two values that is 2 and 3 and will be 2.5

Now it is moving in the reverse direction in the same pattern with a difference of a unit.

Arthur has decided to start saving for a new computer. His money is currently in a piggy bank at home, modeled by the function s

Leya [2.2K]

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

$h(x) = f(x) + g(x)$ $h(x) = f(x) - g(x)$

$h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ $h(x) = f(g(x))$

And many more.

The approach or formula to use depends on the question.

In this case, the combined function is:

$f(x) = 75+ 10x$

The savings function is given as

$s(x) = 85$

The allowance function is given as:

$a(x) = 10(x - 1)$

The new function that combined his savings and his allowances is calculated as:

$f(x) = s(x) + a(x)$

Substitute values for s(x) and a(x)

$f(x) = 85 + 10(x - 1)$

Open bracket

$f(x) = 85 + 10x - 10$

Collect like terms

$f(x) = 85 - 10+ 10x$

$f(x) = 75+ 10x$
