Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

X+x+1+x+2=51

3x+3=51
Use inverse operations to solve

subtract 3 from both sides

3x=48 

Divide by 3 on both sides

x=16

Which rule can be used to describe the growth of the y vales of the function y=12^x over each interval from x=-1 to x=3?
valentinak56 [21]
The function is f(x)=12^x. 

This means that as we get from 1 to 2, we have the following values:

f(1)=12^1=12, and f(2)=12^2=12\cdot12.

Similarly, if we check x=3, we have f(3)=12^3=12\cdot12\cdot12.


We can see that as x changes by 1 (with greater values), y increases by a factor of 12.


Answer: multiply by 12
