Answer:

x = 2/7 = 0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

One solution was found :

                  x = 2/7 = 0.286

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :  

                    8/5*x-2/3*x-(4/15)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            4

Simplify   ——

           15

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   8     2      4

 ((—•x)-(—•x))-——  = 0  

   5     3     15

Step  2  :

           2

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   8          2           4

 ((— • x) -  (— • x)) -  ——  = 0  

   5          3          15

Step  3  :

           8

Simplify   —

           5

Equation at the end of step  3  :

   8         2x      4

 ((— • x) -  ——) -  ——  = 0  

   5         3      15

Step  4  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

4.1    Find the Least Common Multiple  

     The left denominator is :       5  

     The right denominator is :       3  

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime  

Factor   Left  

Denominator   Right  

Denominator   L.C.M = Max  

{Left,Right}  

5 1 0 1

3 0 1 1

Product of all  

Prime Factors  5 3 15

     Least Common Multiple:  

     15  

Calculating Multipliers :

4.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions  

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M  

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M  

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno  

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 3

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 5

Making Equivalent Fractions :

4.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.  

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      8x • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               15  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      2x • 5

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               15  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions  

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

8x • 3 - (2x • 5)     14x

—————————————————  =  ———

       15             15  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 14x     4

 ——— -  ——  = 0  

 15     15

Step  5  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

14x - (4)     14x - 4

—————————  =  ———————

   15           15    

Step  6  :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1     Pull out like factors :

  14x - 4  =   2 • (7x - 2)  

Equation at the end of step  6  :

 2 • (7x - 2)

 ————————————  = 0  

      15      

Step  7  :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2•(7x-2)

 ———————— • 15 = 0 • 15

    15    

Now, on the left hand side, the  15  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (7x-2)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

7.3      Solve  :    7x-2 = 0  

Add  2  to both sides of the equation :  

                     7x = 2  

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

                    x = 2/7 = 0.286  

One solution was found :

                  x = 2/7 = 0.286

How do I show the relationship between the input and the output
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Types of Relationships between the Input and Output

The scatter plot can be a useful tool in understanding the type of relationship that exist between the inputs (X’s) and the outputs (Y’s)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. No Relationship: The scatter plot can give an obvious suggestion if the inputs and outputs on the graph are not related. The points will be scattered throughout the graph with no particular pattern. For no relationship to exist, points have to be completely diffused. If some points are in concentration, then maybe a relationship does exist and our analysis has not been able to uncover it.

2. Linear and Non-Linear: A linear correlation exists when all the points are plotted close together. They form a distinct line. On the other hand points could be close together but they could form a relationship which has curves in it. The nature of the relationship has wide ranging implications.

3. Positive and Negative: A positive relationship between the inputs and the outputs is one wherein more of one input leads to more of an output. This is also known as a direct relationship.

On the other hand a negative relationship is one where more of one input leads to less of another output. This is also known as an inverse relationship.

4. Strong and Weak: The strength of the correlation is tested by how closely the data fits the shape. For instance if all the points are scattered very close together to form a very visible line then the relationship is strongly linear. On the other hand, if the relationship does not so obviously fit the shape then the relationship is weak.

I don't know if this was exactly what you were looking for; hope it is! :)

Answer:1)5x^2-11x

             2) x^2-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1)(f+g)(x)

f(x)=3x-7

g(x)= 2x-4

[(3x-7)+(2x-4)](x)

3x^2-7x+2x6^2-4x

=<u>5x^2-11x</u>

2) (f-g)(x)

[(3x-7)-(2x-4)](x)

(3x-7-2x+4)(x)

3x^2-7x-2x^2+4x

x^2-3x

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = (x – 5)2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)2 – 2?
Andreas93 [3]

The parent. function shifted up by 6 units to produce x + 1 and to the left by 9 units

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

This is a way of changing the position of an object on an xy-plane.

Given the parent function expressed as  y = (x – 5)^2 + 7

From the resulting image after translation, we can see that the parent. function shifted up by 6 units to produce x + 1 and to the left by 9 units

Answer:The first table would be a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the only table with a constant, which is required in a proportional relationship. The constant would be 1300 which you can find by divided the two numbers in each row.
