$\frac{2x}{5} + 1 = \frac{1}{15}$

---------------------------------------------------------
Take away 1 from both sides
---------------------------------------------------------
$\frac{2x}{5} = \frac{1}{15} - 1$

---------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the value on the right
---------------------------------------------------------
$\frac{2x}{5} = - \frac{14}{15}$

----------------------------------------------------------
Multiply by 15 on both side
---------------------------------------------------------
$\frac{2x}{5} \times 15 = - \frac{14}{15} \times 15$

---------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate
---------------------------------------------------------
$6x = -14$

---------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 6 on both sides
---------------------------------------------------------
$x = - \frac{14}{6}$

---------------------------------------------------------
Simplify
---------------------------------------------------------
$x = - \frac{7}{3}$

$Answer \: x = - \frac{14}{6} \ or - \frac{7}{3}$

Solve 3(4m - 6) = 12 and explain each step

Studentka2010 [4]

Distribute the 3 to 4m and 6. this makes 12m-18=12

Determine if the leading coefficient of the following function is positive or negative and whether the function has a minimum or

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The function has a negative leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point

Explanation:

This function's leading coefficient is determined by whether it is concave up or concave down, meaning it has an Up and Up end behavior for a positive leading coefficient and a Down and Down end behavior for a negative coefficient.

This function's end behavior is Down and Down, so it must have a negative leading coefficient.

The function has a minimum vertex when the function has a positive leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point when the function has a negative leading coefficient.

This means that the functions vertex is the highest or lowest possible value of the function (the rest of the function continues forever in whichever direction.

This particular function has a maximum vertex as there is no point above the vertex here and the function has a negative leading coefficient.
