Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) = 24

Divide each side by 3

3/3(x+2) = 24/3

x+2 = 8

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = 8-2

x=6

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation y=x+3 y=x^2+2x-4

8_murik_8 [283]

The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

Solution:

Given that,

$y = x + 3 ------- eqn 1\\\\y = x^2 + 2x - 4 ----- eqn 2$

We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

$x + 3 = x^2 + 2x - 4$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4=x+3\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-4-3=x+3-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+2x-7=x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+2x-7-x=x-x\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x^2+x-7=0$

$\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=1,\:c=-7\\\\x =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{ 1 + 28}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{ -1 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}$

$x = \frac{ -1 \pm 5.385 }{2}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\x = \frac{ -1 + 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = 2.1925$

$Also\\\\x = \frac{ -1 - 5.385 }{2}\\\\x = -3.1925$

Substitute x = 2.1925 in eqn 1

y = 2.1925 + 3

y = 5.1925

Substitute x = -3.1925 in eqn 1

y = -3.1925 + 3

y = -0.1925

Thus the solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (5,0) and is parallel to the line represe

zlopas [31]

Answer:

y=1.2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

place in the points

0=1.2(5)+b

distrubutive property

0=6+b

subtract 6 on both sides

-6=b

y=1.2x-6

Write a function rule that represents each sentence.1. y is 5 less than the product of 4 and x. 2. 2.5 more than the quotient of

Mrac [35]

1. It is important to go through each of the words given in the question to get through to the actual answer. The function will be:
y= (4 * x) - 5
= 4x - 5

2. The function of this statement will be
(h/3) + 2.5 = w

1. Let us assume the price of a pizza = p
From the first part we can write
p = $6.95
On adding the price of each topping "t" we get
p = $6.95 + ($0.95) * t
= $6.95 + $0.95t
I hope it helps you.
