Answer:

A: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is 5x+12=6(x+1)

Our possible numbers are 6, 5, 24, or 7.

To figure this out you start putting the possible numbers in place of x so we'll start off using 6:

5*6+12=6(6+1).

5*6=30. 30+12=42. 6+1=7, 6*7=42.

This equals the same on both sides.

Next we'll go to 5:

5*5+12=6(5+1)

5*5=25, 25+12=37. 5+1=6, 6*6=36.

This doesn't equal the same amount on both sides.

Next is 24:

5*24+12=6(24+1)

5*24=120, 120+12=132. 24+1=25, 6*25=150

This doesn't equal the same amount.

Next is 7:

5*7+12=6(7+1)

5*7=35, 35+12=47. 7+1=8, 6*8=48.

This doesn't equal.

The only number that equals the same amount on both sides is A:6

Can someone help me find the functions zeros
Amiraneli [1.4K]

\bf g(x) = 2(x-3)^2-8\implies \stackrel{g(x)}{0}=2(x-3)^2-8\implies 8=2(x-3)^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{8}{2}=(x-3)^2\implies 4=(x-3)^2\implies \pm\sqrt{4}=x-3\implies \pm 2 = x-3 \\\\\\ \pm 2 +3 = x\implies x = \begin{cases} 5\\ 1 \end{cases}

Help solve w(5w^3)^-2 / w^-4
Bond [772]
Start with the exponents, 3 and -2, you multiply them together so you get -6 so its w(w^-6)/w^-4 and then you do wx5w^-6 which is 5w^-4 bc im pretty sure you multiply it to 5w and thats 5w squared so you just add it and so it becomes 5w^-4/5w^-4 and you can simplify that
