Hello - let's do this step by step. Show your work.

You're asking: 9(8−x)=3x.

Now, simplify both sides of the equation.

9(8−x)=3x

(9)(8)+(9)(−x)=3x (To do that, distribute)

72+−9x=3x

−9x+72=3x

Now, subtract 3x from both sides.

−9x+72−3x=3x−3x

Simplify,

−12x+72=0

After, subtract 72 from both sides.

−12x+72−72=0−72

−12x=−72

Last thing, divide both sides by -12.

-12x/12 = -72/-12

Divide.

Therefore, you have x = 6 as your final answer.

which equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 80)? f(x) = 4(x)5 f(x) = 5(x)4 f(x) = 4(5)x

pav-90 [236]

we know that

if the exponential function passes through the given point, then the point must satisfy the equation of the exponential function

we proceed to verify each case if the point $(2,80)$ satisfied the exponential function

case A $f(x)=4(x^{5})$

For $x=2$ calculate the value of y in the equation and then compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(2^{5})=128$

$128\neq 80$

therefore

the exponential function $f(x)=4(x^{5})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

case B $f(x)=5(x^{4})$

For $x=2$ calculate the value of y in the equation and then compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(2^{4})=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the exponential function $f(x)=5(x^{4})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

case C $f(x)=4(5^{x})$

For $x=2$ calculate the value of y in the equation and then compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=4(5^{2})=100$

$100\neq 80$

therefore

the exponential function $f(x)=4(5^{x})$ not passes through the point $(2,80)$

case D $f(x)=5(4^{x})$

For $x=2$ calculate the value of y in the equation and then compare with the y-coordinate of the point

$f(2)=5(4^{2})=80$

$80=80$

therefore

the exponential function $f(x)=5(4^{x})$ passes through the point $(2,80)$

therefore

the answer is

$f(x)=5(x^{4})$

$f(x)=5(4^{x})$

aev [14]

$86 because hes already has a 20 dollar gift card and if you do 86 - 20 which equals 66 then minus that by twenty three that comes out to 43 which is the amount of it all together if u do 20+23 = 43 :)

Which of the following points is located in the third quadrant of the coordinate plane?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

C. (-7, -15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the x- and the y-coordinates of a point in the third quadrant are negative. The given point C. (-7, -15) is the only one of the four choices that satisfies this criterion.
