Answer:
It's a proportion.
2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.
Multiply the means and extremes
15x = 18
divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.
x = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
amount after 2 years = 6000(1 + (0.04/12))^24 = 6498.86
Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5
sub
5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back
x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4
(-4,-3/2) is solution
Answer:
x=2
Step by step:
f(x)=g(x)
3x+12= -9.5x-13 simplifies to the equation below
3x+9.5x= -13-12
12.5x= -25
next, divide by 12 on both sides to isolate the variable, x.
12.5x/12 = -25/12
x=-2
to check: 3(-2)+12= -95x(-2)-13
-6+12= 19-13
6=6 ✅
