Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation

2x + 1 + 5x - 8

2. Add 8 on both sides

2x + 9 = 5x

3. Get the variables together

9 = 3x

4. Solve for x and divide both sides by 3

x = 3

Hello!

\large\boxed{x = 3}

2x + 1 = 5x - 8

Solve by subtracting both sides by 2x:

2x - 2x + 1 = 5x - 2x - 8

1 = 3x - 8

Add 8 to both sides:

1 + 8 = 3x - 8 + 8

9 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

9/3 = 3x/3

x = 3

The answer is D, because you move to the right of the decimal to see if that number is 5 or above. Then you round up, (to 86). :) Hope this was helpful.

Can someone explain this to me??
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Yes. g⁻¹(x) = f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = ∛x - 1.

Rearrange to solve for x:

y+1 = ∛x

(y+1)³ = x

Swap x and y:

(x+3)³ = y

g⁻¹(x) = (x+3)³ = f(x)

A store bought pants at a wholesale price of $15. They retail the pants for $45. What is the amount of change? What is the perce
9966 [12]

Answer: Amount of change : $30

percent increase : 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Wholesale price: $15 </em>
  • <em>Retail price: $45 </em>

To obtain the amount of change we have to subtract the wholesale price to the retail price:

Mathematically speaking:

45 -15 = $30

For the percent increase, the amount of change (30) is some percent of the original price (15). So:

30 / 15 =2 (decimal form)

If we multiply it by 100, the percentage is:

200%
