Answer:

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1

7x - 9 = 8x - 1

7x - 8x - 9 = 8x - 8x - 1

- x - 9 = - 1

- x - 9 + 9 = - 1 + 9

- x = 8

- x ÷ - 1 = 8 ÷ - 1

x = - 8

How many tenths are there in 4/5

il63 [147K]

What we have to solve is:

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{10}$

we should multiply both sides by10, to get the "x" by itself:

$\frac{4*10}{5} = \frac{x}$

$\frac{4*2}{1} = \frac{x}$

$8 = \frac{x}$
so there are 8 tenths in this number!

Let f(x)=2x−1. If 3f(a)=15, what is the value of f(2a)?

Misha Larkins [42]

The answer is 7.

f(a) = 2a-1, 3f(a) = 3(2a-1) = 15 -> a=2 so f(2a)=f(4)=7
