How do I solve -6x + 5= 17

2 answers:

5 0

-6x + 5 = 17
isolate the x, first subtract 5 from both sides
-6x + 5 (-5) = 17 (-5)
-6x = 12
Then divide -6 from both sides
-6x(/-6) = 12(/-6)
Answer
x = -2

hope this helps

To solve for this.
$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ -6x+5-5=17-5 \ \textgreater \ -6x=12$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{12}{-6} \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ x=-2$

Hope this helps!

An amusement park has a diameter of 1550 feet and has a circular walking path around the entire park. The maintenance worker has

almond37 [142]

Answer: 6200pi feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the diameter*pi.

Therefore each circle around the park = 1550 pi feet.

Since he has to walk around the park 4 times, the total distance he walks is 1550 pi feet*4 = 6200pi feet

Given the functions f (x)=\x] and g(x)= 2 x + 31 – 4 a. Determine the

Arisa [49]

Functions can be transformed through translation, dilation, etc.

The changes are horizontal translations and vertical compression.
The domain of f(x) is $(-\infty,\infty)$ , while its range is $(0,\infty)$
The domain of g(x) is $(-\infty,\infty)$ , while its range is $(-4,\infty)$

We have:

$f(x) = |x|$

$g(x) = 2|x - 3| - 4$

(a) The changes from f(x) to g(x)

First, f(x) was translated to the left by 3 units.

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x-3.y)$

So, we have:

$f'(x) = |x - 3|$

Next, the function is compressed vertically by 2

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,2y)$

So, we have:

$f"(x) = 2|x - 3|$

Lastly, the function is translated down by 4 units.

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x, y - 4)$

So, we have:

$g(x) = 2|x - 3| - 4$

Hence, the changes are horizontal translations and vertical compression.

(b) Analyze f(x) and g(x)

f(x)

It spans across the x-axis; so, its domain is $(-\infty,\infty)$

The y values start from 0 and opens upward; so, its range is $(0,\infty)$

It crosses the x and y axes at 0; so its intercepts are 0.

g(x)

It spans across the x-axis; so, its domain is $(-\infty,\infty)$

The y values start from -4 and opens upward; so, its range is $(-4,\infty)$

It crosses the x-axis at -1 and -5; so its y-intercepts are -1 and -5

It crosses the y-axis at 2; so its x-intercept is 2

A rocket generates a net force (F) of 2,050,000 newtons, and the rocket mass (m) is 40,000 kilograms

SVEN [57.7K]

From the given equation above, F = ma, acceleration may be calculated by slightly modifying the equation into a = F / m. Substituting the known values for force and mass,

a = 2,050,000 N / 40,000 kg = 51.25 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration achieved is 51.25 m/s².

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE LITTLE QUESTION

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

y = -x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the slope.

(-1,3) and (4,-2)

3 - -2/ -1 - 4 = 5/-5 = -1

Slope = -1

Now let's use slope intercept form:

y1-y2=m(x1-x2)

Let's plug in our slope for m.

y1-y2= -1 (x1-x2)

And now let's substitute y2 and x2 for one of our points, I'll use (4,-2)

y1+2 = -1(x1- 4)

y= -x + 4 -2

y = -x +2
