I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>
Answer:
one half or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
do your rise over your run on the graph.
P^-4 x -5p
In properties of exponents, if the exponent is negative then you move the variable with the negative exponent to the denominators place and it changes to positive and the numerator becomes 1.
p^-4=1/(p^4)
Also, if no exponent is present it is understood to be 1.
Keeping this in mind,
p^-4 x -5p
1/(p^4) x -5p^1 substituted p^-4 by 1/p^4 and added ^1 to -5p
-5p^1/p^4 multiplied-5p^1 to 1
-5/p^3 simplified
