5(x – 4) + 3x – 9x = 6 – (2x + 5) + 8x

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property a couple times to expand the parentheses.

Remember that when expanding parentheses, we find the sum of the products of the outside term with each of the inside terms.

5(x - 4) = 5 * x + 5 * (-4) = 5x - 20

-(2x + 5) = -1 * 2x + -1 * 5 = -2x - 5

Now we have:

5x - 20 + 3x - 9x = 6 - 2x - 5 + 8x

Combine all the terms with x:

-x - 20 = 6x + 1

7x = -21

Divide by 7:

x = -21/7 = -3

The answer is thus -3.

The image of point (−3, 5) under translation T is (6, -8). What is the image of point (4, 7) under the same translation?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

(13,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are at (-3,5) and you translate T to give you (6,-8), that means you translated (9,-13) because you moved right 9 units in the positive x direction and down 13 units in the negative y direction.

Apply this translation T to (4,7) and you get (13,-6).

What is the range of the given function? To bill customers for water usage, one city converts the number of gallons used into un
DedPeter [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

To bill customers for water usage, one city converts the number of gallons used into units. This relationship is represented by the equation g = 748u, where g is the total number of gallons of water used and u is the number of units. Determine which statements about the relationship are true. Check all that apply.

g is the dependent variable.

u is the dependent variable.

g is the independent variable.

u is the independent variable.

The variables cannot be labeled without a table of values.

The variables cannot be labeled since any value can be selected for either

Solution :

Given equation :

g = 748 u

Here, g = total number of gallons of water used

         u = number of units

Customers uses the number of units of water.

The unit of water is independent of the total number of gallons of water used.

So the number of units u is an independent variable.

But the value of gallons of water depends on the number of units that is used.

Therefore, number of gallons of water g is a dependent variable.

Thus, we can say that :

  • g is dependent variable
  • u is independent variable

biancas employer matches 25% of her 401(k) contributions u to $1000 biancas salary is $50000 and last year she contributed $6000
Phoenix [80]
We are told that the employer matches 25% of Bianca's contributions to her 401(k). We are also told that Bianca's salary is $50,000 a year, of which she contributed $6000 to her own 401 (k). Her salary is not necessary to solve this, simply knowing how much she put into her 401(k) is enough information.

We can solve for 25% of $6000.

$6000 x 0.25 = $1500.

The employer should contribute $1500 to her 401(k), however, the question also states that they will contribute 25% UP TO $1000. Since 25% of 6000 is greater than 1000, the employer's contribution to the 401(k) will be $1000.
