Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides

5x + 2 - 2 = 12 - 2

Simplifying

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x / 5 = 10/5

Simplifying

x = 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are solving for the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS, and isolate the variable.

First, subtract 2 from both sides.

5x + 2 = 12

5x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

5x = 12 - 2

5x = 10

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 5 from both sides.

(5x)/5 = (10)/5

x = 10/5

x = 2

x = 2 is your answer.

Find the slope of ther line that goes through the points (-9,-4) and (-3,-6)

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 6)

m = $\frac{-6+4}{-3+9}$ = $\frac{-2}{6}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

There are 200 students in the 8th grade class at Alleghany Middle School. Of these students, 8% play basketball and 14% play soc

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer is 19% or 0.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that student play basketball and B be the event that student play soccer.

$P(A)=8\%$

$P(B)=14\%$

It is given that 6 students play on both teams.

$P(A\cap B)=\frac{6}{200}\times 100=3\%$

We have to find the probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer.

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-(A\cap B)$

$P(A\cup B)=8\%+14\%-3\%$

$P(A\cup B)=19\%$

Therefore the probability that a student plays either basketball or soccer is 19% or 0.19.

For f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x2 - 7, find (f - g)(x).

kakasveta [241]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+1

g(x)=2x-7

now,

f-g(x)=f(x)-g(x)
2x+1-2x+7
8

(f-g)(x)=8

hope it helps.
