Need help with this problem choices: fallrisenot fallinteger range valuesinteger domain values
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A discrete function is a relation where the domain and the range take a specific discrete set of values and not the whole set of the real numbers.

In this case, it's okay to model the scenario with a line because all of the points will fall on the line. Only points corresponding to the integer domain values, however, actually represent the scenario.

Basically, a linear function that represents this situation serves as a prediction model to generalize this type of situation, but for this case, just the value inside the domain makes sense to this particular case.

5/6(2x+12)-8=4-(x+1)
alekssr [168]

For this case we have the following equation:

\frac {5} {6} (2x + 12) -8 = 4- (x + 1)

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

\frac {5 * 2} {6} x + \frac {5 * 12} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)\\\frac {10} {6} x + \frac {60} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)

We simplify the left side of the equation:

\frac {5} {3} x + 10-8 = 4- (x + 1)

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4- (x + 1)

On the right side we must take into account that:

- * + = -

So:

\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4-x-1\\\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 3-x

We add x to both sides of the equation:

\frac {5} {3} x + x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 * 1 + 3 * 1} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 + 3} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {8} {3} x + 2 = 3

We subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

\frac {8} {3} x = 3-2\\\frac {8} {3} x = 1

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

8x = 3

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:

x = \frac {3} {8}

Thus, the solution of the equation is:

x = \frac {3} {8}

Answer:

x = \frac {3} {8}

Question 7 (Essay Worth 5 points)
kogti [31]

Answer:

x = -2

y=-3

(-2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations are equal to y

We can set them equal to each other

y = 3x + 3

y = x − 1

3x+3 = x-1

Subtract x from each side

3x+3 -x = x-1-x

2x+3 = -1

Subtract 3 from each side

2x+3-3 = -1-3

2x = -4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -4/2

x = -2

Now we need to find y

y = x-1

y = -2-1

y = -3

y = x-1
