You subtract or add the things that are on the same side to the other side in which it cancels out and your left with just the Y on that side
Many students seem puzzled by function notation well after it has been introduced, and ask “why can’t we just write
y = 3x instead of
f(x) = 3x ?”. To motivate the use of function notation and improve understanding, I advocate using multi-variable functions instead of single-variable functions in introducing this notation. My introduction usually proceeds something like this:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is b both have 5 on the x
Use the formula,
I = Prt
P = Principal amount = 400
I = interest = 18
r = annual rate
t = time in years = 9/12 = 3/4
so,
18 = 400*r*3/4
r = 0.06
so the annual interest rate is 0.06 or 6%.
