Answer:
188 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to divide the amount he collected altogether by the price of each balloon that he sold to find out how many balloons he sold:
9632 / 86 = 112 balloons
She sold 112 balloons.
We know that she threw 76 balloons away, therefore, the number of balloons she bought was:
112 + 76 = 188 balloons
You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
Answer:
the answer is 14.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
(1+0.14/12)^(12))-1)*100=14.9%
Answer:
x≠-1,1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(g(x)) is a composition where g(x) is is substituted for x in f(x).
Recall, f(x) is 2/x. So we write 2/|x|-1. This places x in the denominator and 0 cannot be in the denominator x. Any value of x that makes the denominator 0 will not be in the domain.
|x|-1=0
|x|=1
x=1,-1
