Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK =5x+17,

KL = x -1,

JL=7x-9

We need to find the range of possible values for x.

It can be assumed that K is a mid point of JL.

JL = JK + KL

Putting all the values,

7x-9 = 5x+17 + x -1

Taking like terms together,

7x-5x-x = 17-1+9

x = 25

So, the value of x is 25.

Write an exponential function to describe the given sequence of numbers, assuming that the first number in the sequence correspo

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$y = 5(6) {}^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A exponential function is represented by

$y = ab {}^{x}$

where a is the vertical stretch and b is the base and x is the nth

power of x

Since the first number corresponds with zero, that means our y intercept is the first number.

This means when x=0 , y=5 so let find the value of 5.

$5 = ab {}^{0}$

b to the 0th power equal 1 so

$5 = a \times 1$

$a = 5$

Our equation is for now

$y = 5b {}^{x}$

Now let plug in 1,30

$30 = 5b {}^{1}$

Divide 5 by both sides

$6 = b {}^{1}$

Anything to the 1st power is itself so b equal 6.

So our equation is

$y = 5(6) {}^{x}$

In a sale, the price of a computer is reduced from $1,280 to $1,030. Find the rate of the discount and the amount of the discoun

aev [14]

Rate of discount = (old price - new price)/old price x 100 = (1280 - 1030)/1280 x 100 = 250/1280 x 100 = 19.5%

Amount of discount = old price - new price = $1,280 - $1,030 = $250

Solve the inequality –1 > –2(x – 4) – 5(4x – 7).

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$x > 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$–1 > –2(x – 4) – 5(4x – 7)$

$–1 > –2x + 8 –20x + 35$

$–1 > - 22x + 43$

$- 1 - 43 > - 22x$

$- 44 > - 22x$

$\frac{ - 44}{ - 22} < \frac{ - 22x}{ - 22}$

$2 < x$

$x > 2$
