Answer:
6. x = 3
8. x = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the number in place of the expression it is equal to, then solve for x.
__
6) g(x) = -x +5
2 = -x +5 . . . . . . . . . g(x) is replaced by 2, because g(x) = 2
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . . . add x to both sides
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides
__
8) n(x) = -2x -21
-6 = -2x -21 . . . . . n(x) is replaced by its equal: -6
3 = x +10.5 . . . . . . divide both sides by -2
-7.5 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 10.5 from both sides

<em>Additional comment</em>
We have shown a couple of ways these equations can be solved. You can separate the x-term and the constant terms before you divide by the x-coefficient, or you can do it after. In the first equation, we could have solved it ...
2 -x +5
-3 = -x . . . . subtract 5
3 = x . . . . . . multiply by -1
The way we did it avoids negative numbers.

Answer:
The final amount is $1109.81
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the total amount, start with the know amount, which is Ms. Moore's class. Her class raised $249. Now we can use that to find the amount from Ms. Aguilar's class.
$249 + $396.62 = $645.62
Now we can use the amount from Ms. Aguilar's class to find the amount from Ms. Barry's class
$645.62 - $430.43 = $215.19
Now we can add the three amounts together to find the total amount.
$249 + $645.62 + $215.19 = $1109.81
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
