Answer:
p= 2.5
q= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.
Equations in slope- intercept form:
6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)
12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒ y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)
Slopes equal:
6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)
6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)
12p- 6= 24p - 36
12p= 30
p= 30/12
p= 2.5
y-intercepts equal:
(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)
(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)
(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4
4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)
8q+12= 10q- 2
2q= 14
q= 7
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First distribute the 2x to get:
4x² + 10x
Then distribute the -5 to get:
-10x - 25
Then combine
4x² + 10x - 10x - 25
The 10x's will cancel leaving you:
4x² - 25

Step-by-step explanation:
just put -14 where x is and put it in the calculator.
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the question said that the shoes were $15 less than double the price of his pants. In algebra 2p would mean 2 multiplied by p so we know that C and D are wrong. Now $15 less than 2p would mean you have to subtract by 15, so now we have 2p-15. Since we haven't added in the amount of money the pair of pants cost, we have to use addition to add it in, and that adds to the equation making the equation 2p - 15 + p. So, the answer is B.
These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).
To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18
To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.
f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18
Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.
f(x/3) = 2x -18
Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3
This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing
f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3
We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.
f(x)/3 = 2x - 6
Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.
Hope this helps!
