Answer:

X = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First count the amount of X's. There are 5 and it is plus two. Both sides should be equal in value so you have to set up your equation.

5x + 2 = 17

Then Solve For X

5x + 2 = 17

Subtract 2 from both sides

5x = 15

Divide by 5

X = 3

Check your answer

5(3) +2 = 17

15 + 2 = 17

17 = 17

It is correct!

There were 63 equal piles of plantain fruit put together and 7 single fruits. They were divided evenly among 23 travelers. What

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

There are 28 fruits in each pile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x denote the number of fruits in each pile and y denote the number of fruits that every traveler receive.

Consider the diophantine equation:

$63x + 7 = 23y\\63x-23y = -7$

We obtain the greatest common divisor of (63,-23).

The greatest common divisor f 63 and -23 is 1.

Therefore, there exist $\alpha,\beta$ such that

$-23\alpha+63\beta=1$

By applying extended Euclidean Algorithm, we have,

$1 = (1\times 6)+(-1\times 5)\\1 = (1\times 17)+(3\times 6)\\1 = (3\times 23)+(-4\times 17)\\1 = (-4\times 40)+(7\times 23)\\1 = (7\times 63)+(-11\times 40)\\1 = (-11\times -23)+(-4\times 63)$

$1 = (-11\times -23) + (-4\times 63)$

Multiplying -7 on both sides, we get,

$-7 = (77\times -23) + 28\times 63)$

Thus, we get,

$x = 28\\y=77$

Thus, there are 28 fruits in each pile.

Translation 3 units up
k = 3

============================================================

Explanation:

The y intercept of the black f(x) curve is at (0,1)

The y intercept of the blue curve is at (0,4)

To go from y = 1 to y = 4, we add 3

So we shift 3 units up to go from the f(x) curve to the g(x) curve.

The value of k is 3, which corresponds exactly to the vertical shift. If we shifted down, then k would be negative.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: x>_3.2 OR x<_ -0.75

Step-by-step explanation: first break down your compound inequality. 5x-4>_12

You first cancel out your constants by adding 4 to both sides. Now you’re left with 5x>_16 then to cancel five you have to divide on both sides by five which equals to 3.2. Then, x>_ 3.2.

Next you do your second part, 12x+5<_-4

So first cancel out the constant of 5 by subtracting 5 on both sides, making the equation 12x<_-9. Now, you divide by 12 on both sides, making it -9/12. Which effectively is -0.75. Therefor, the answer being x<_ -0.75. Add the two together x>_3.2 OR x<_0.75
