Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:
Let x be the number of cans.
4x + 5x = 180
9x = 180
9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
x = 20
Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
80 + 100 = 180
180 = 180
Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.
Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.
Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:
5-5 = 0
So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.
To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.
In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)
so the degrees would be equal.
Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.
This makes the first choice the correct answer.
Answer:
Part A: (0.75 + .25 + .60) - .20 = 1.40
Part B : Addition and subtraction ¯\(°_o)/¯
First parentheses ¯\(°_o)/¯
Then subtract
¯\(°_o)/¯
- 8x - 9 = - 21
Add 9 to both sides:
- 8x = - 12
Divide both sides by - 8:
x = -12/-8
x = -3/-2
x = 3/2 OR 1.5
Hope this answer helps :)
