Answer:

3a - 2ab if a= 4 and b= 6 = -36

-7x + 5 = 8x -25 solve for x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 3 a - 2 a b where a = 4 and b = 6:

3 a - 2 a b = 3×4 - 2×4×6

3×4 = 12:

12 - 2×4×6

-2×4 = -8:

-8×6 + 12

-8×6 = -48:

-48 + 12

12 - 48 = -(48 - 12):

-(48 - 12)

| 4 | 8

- | 1 | 2

| 3 | 6:

Answer: -36

_________________________________________

Solve for x:

5 - 7 x = 8 x - 25

Subtract 8 x from both sides:

5 + (-7 x - 8 x) = (8 x - 8 x) - 25

-7 x - 8 x = -15 x:

-15 x + 5 = (8 x - 8 x) - 25

8 x - 8 x = 0:

5 - 15 x = -25

Subtract 5 from both sides:

(5 - 5) - 15 x = -5 - 25

5 - 5 = 0:

-15 x = -5 - 25

-5 - 25 = -30:

-15 x = -30

Divide both sides of -15 x = -30 by -15:

(-15 x)/(-15) = (-30)/(-15)

(-15)/(-15) = 1:

x = (-30)/(-15)

The gcd of -30 and -15 is -15, so (-30)/(-15) = (-15×2)/(-15×1) = (-15)/(-15)×2 = 2:

Which representation of a transformation on a coordinate grid does not preserve congruence?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all options:

A. Transformation with the rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)$

is a reflection across the x-axis.

Reflection across the x-axis preserves the congruence.

B. Transformation with the rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{7}{8}x,\dfrac{7}{8}y\right)$

is a dilation with a scale factor of $\frac{7}{8}$ over the origin.

Dilation does not preserve the congruence as you get smaller figure.

C. Transformation with the rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow (x+6,y-4)$

is a translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down.

Translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down preserves the congruence.

D. Transformation with the rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)$

is a clockwise rotation by $90^{\circ}$ angle over the origin.

Clockwise rotation by $90^{\circ}$ angle over the origin preserves the congruence.

Select the correct<br> function<br> that represents<br> this data.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

f(x) = -5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the first set of values into each possible equation. Whichever equation yields the correct ouputs (y-values) for ALL input (x-values) is the correct answer. For the function f(x) = -5x - 2, f(-2) = 8, f(-1) = 3 and so on... So f(x) = -5x - 2 is the correct answer!

Hope this helps!

The number of employees for a certain company has been decreasing each year by 3%. If the company currently has 810 employees an

8090 [49]

Answer:

219 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

3% of decreasing rate of employees per year is calculated thus:

$3\% \: of \: 810 \: employees$

$= \frac{3}{100} \times 810$

$= 24.3 \: employees \: per \: year$

In 9 years,

$= 24.3 \times 9$

$= 218.7 = 219 \: employees$

Therefore, the number of employees for a certain company where decreasing rate of employees is 3% and continued to decrease for 9 years; and 810 employees are currently working is 219 employees. By implication, 810 + 219 = 1029 employees were working in the company 9 years ago.
