Thx no that answer is not correct
Answer:
The third option, -1/2(30) = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
If it decreases by 1/2, we know it has to be -1/2, and the days we are given are 30. We need to multiply -1/2 by 30 in order to find the water level after 30 days, which would be -15 (inches?) I hope this helped.
The answer to your question is 36
You haven't shared "the given value of x," or, if you have, you haven't drawn attention to it.
Just suppose we were to choose x = 4 as a possible solution and then try to find a value of the parameter k that would make x = 4 an actual solution.
2(4) + 4k - 9 = (4)(4) - (4) + 1
Then 8 + 4k - 9 = 16 - 4 + 1, or 4k - 1 = 13. Then 4k = 14, and k = 14/4, or (after reduction) k = 7/2
If the parameter k equals 7/2, then x = 4 is a solution to the given equation.
To check this out further, start with the proposed solution x = 5 and find k.
