3n - 5 = -8

n = -1 because if you…

move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign —>

3n = -8 + 5

calculate -8 + 5 which would be —>

-3

equation now —>

3n = -3

divide both sides —>

3n/3 = 1
-3/3 = -1

final answer —>

n = -1

Have a great day! hope this helps!

Consider the function. f(x)= -2/3x-24 Which conclusions can be drawn about f–1(x)? Select two options. f–1(x) has a slope of -2/

disa [49]

Answer:

(D) $f^{-1}{(x$) has an x-intercept of (-36, 0).$

(E) $f^{-1}{(x)$ has a range of all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: $f(x)= -\dfrac23x-24$

$f(x)+24= -\dfrac23x\\$Multiply both sides by $ -\dfrac32\\x=-\dfrac32(f(x)+24)\\f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac32f(x)-36$

When y=f(x)=0

$f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac32(0)-36\\f^{-1}(x)=-36$

Therefore, $f^{-1}(x)$ has a x-intercept of -36$

Also, $f^{-1}(x)$ has a range of all real numbers.

Therefore, Options D and E are correct.

If you have fifty-four pieces of candy that need to be split up evenly

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

"You" and your "5 friends" means that there are 6 people total.

All we need to do is divide.

54 / 6 = 9

Therefore, each person gets 9 pieces of candy.

Best of Luck!

1/5 yard ------------------
7/10 yard
<span>The distance poles B and D= (1-1/5)=4/5 yard

</span>The distance poles B and E= BD+DE=4/5+7/10=(8+7)/10=15/10=3/2 yard

the answer is 3/2 yard (distance poles B and E)
