Answer:

2x-20=14

The number is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

subtracted from means we do that 2nd

we need the product of 2 and the number first

now we subtract 20

2x-20

is means equals

2x-20=14

Add 20 to each side to solve

2x-20+20 =14+20

2x = 34

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =34/2

x = 17

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert words into an expression

20 subtracted from the product of 2 and a number is 14.

(2 * x) - 20 = 14

Step 2: Add 20 to both sides

2x - 20 + 20 = 14 + 20

2x = 34

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 34 / 2

x = 17

Answer: x = 17

Answer:

Part A: yes it is a function because every input value (x) produces only one output value (y).

Note: It is still a function if different x values produce the same y value, in this case, x=1 and x=-1 produce the same y value 1, but it is NOT a function if y=1 and y=-1 have the same x value x=1.

Part B: when x=30: f(30)=17*30+50=560

if means that the cost of renting the truck for 30 hours is 560 dollars.

With some simple rearrangement, we can rewrite the numerator as

$2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4 = 2(x^3 - x) - 3x^2 + x + 4 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 2x(x^2-1) - 3(x^2 - 1) + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = (2x-3)(x^2-1) + x+1$

Then factorizing the difference of squares, $x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1)$ , we end up with

$\dfrac{2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4}{x^2 - 1} = \dfrac{(2x-3)(x-1)(x+1) + x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{2x-3 + \dfrac1{x-1}}$
