Answer:
f = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
- Apply the distributed property, so it now looks like this: 2f - 10 = 6
- Add 10 to each side, so it now looks like this: 2f = 16
- Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to f. It should now look like this: f = 8
I hope this helps!
Answer:
(f+g)(x) = 13x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite f(x)=2x+7 and g(x)=11x-4 in columns, as follows:
f(x)=2x+7
+g(x)=11x-4
----------------
Now add each column separately.
f(x)+g(x) = (f+g)(x) ("the sum of functions f and g")
2x + 11x = 13x, and, finally, 7-4 = 3.
Therefore,
f(x)=2x+7
+g(x)=11x-4
----------------
(f+g)(x) = 13x + 3
Let's call:
a = price of 1 apple
p = price of 1 peach
The total cost is the price of 1 apple times the number of apples plus the price of 1 peach times the number of peaches, therefore the system can be:

Solve for a in the second equation (you can choose to solve for any of the variables in any of the equations, try to understand what is the best):
a = (4.82 - 5p) / 4
Now, substitute in the first equation:
6 · (4.82 - 5p) / 4 + 9p = 7.86
7.23 - (15/2)p + 9p = 7.86
(3/2)p = 0.63
p = 0.42
Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
<span>a = (4.82 - 5·0.42) / 4</span>
= 0.68
Therefore, one apple costs
0.68$ and one peach costs
0.42$.
∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>) = -1/2
Take the 3rd power of both sides and solve:
(∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>))³ = (-1/2)³
1/8 - <em>x</em> = -1/8
2/8 = <em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 1/4
The correct answer is: [D]: "distributive" .
