Build an equation with at least three different operations that has solution x=2

Answer: (10x+7)/2 = -13/2

This is not the only answer possible. There are infinitely many possible answers.

=================================

Explanation:

We start with the given equation x = -2

Multiply both sides by some number. I'll pick 10

So if we multiply both sides by 10, we get

10*x = 10*(-2)

10x = -20

Now let's add something to both sides. Let's say we add 7 to both sides

10x+7 = -20+7

10x+7 = -13

Finally, let's divide both sides by 2

(10x+7)/2 = -13/2

You could keep going to add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides by some number. This process can continue indefinitely. I'll stop here since we have three operations done.

-------------------

If we were to solve (10x+7)/2 = -13/2, we would get to x = -2

To solve (10x+7)/2 = -13/2, we follow the steps done in the previous section in reverse.

So we'll undo the "divide both sides by 2" operation by multiplying both sides by 2.

Then we'll undo the "add 7 to both sides" operation to subtract 7 from both sides

Lastly, we'll undo the "multiply both sides by 10" by dividing both sides by 10.

Which table represents a linear function help ASAP!!!!!
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's the last one because as x increases by one, y increases by a constant rate of 5. The others don't increase by a constant rate. (I don't know if this is right but I think it is!)
