Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3=8/x+6

Using cross products

2 * (x+6) = 3*8

2(x+6) = 24

Divide by 2

x+6 =12

Subtract 6

x = 6

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we simply need to isolate x in the equation using properties of equations. For this equation, we will use addition and multiplication properties.

(2/3) = (8/x) + 6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x) + 6 + -6

(2/3) + -6 = (8/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (8/x) * (1/8)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + -6] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [(2/3) + (-18/3)] = (1/x)

(1/8) * [-16/3] = (1/x)

(1 * -16) / (3 * 8) = (1/x)

(-2/3) = (1/x)

x * (-2/3) = (1/x) * x

(-2x/3) = 1

(-3/2) * (-2x/3) = 1 * (-3/2)

x = (-3/2)

x = -3/2

Cheers.

Find f(-1), f(0), f(3) for the following function.<br> f(x)=3x<br> f(-1)=Blank

kramer

Answer:

If f(x) = 3x, this means that any number that replaces x in the parenthesis, would replace x in the right side too.

When x = -1:

f(-1) = 3(-1) = -3

When x = 0:

f(0) = 3(0) = 0

When x = 3:

f(3) = 3(3) = 9

Arbara signed up for dance lessons at Dance Unlimited. She was charged $55 per month for lessons and a one-time recital fee of $

kramer

Given:

Per month fee = $55

One-time recital fee = $165

The equation represents the $495 total cost that Barbara paid to Dance Unlimited.

$495=165+55m$

To find:

We need to find the number of month Barbara receive dance lessons from Dance Unlimited.

Solution:

We have,

$495=165+55m$

Here, m is number of months. We need to isolate m.

Subtract 165 from both sides.

$495-165=55m$

$330=55m$

Divide both sides by 55.

$\dfrac{330}{55}=m$

$6=m$

The value of m is 6. So, the required number of month Barbara receive dance lessons from Dance Unlimited is 6.
