How do I solve -2(x+5)=4

Mathematics

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+5)=4

open the bracket with -2

-2x - 10 = 4

combine the like terms

-2x = 4 + 10

-2x = 14

divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

x = -7

Answer:

<u>-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify both sides.

−2(x+5)=4

(−2)(x)+(−2)(5)=4

−2x+−10=4

−2x−10=4

Then add 10 to both sides.

−2x−10+10=4+10

−2x=14

Finally divide both sides by -2.

−2x/ −2  =  14/ −2 = -7

<u>Answer: -7</u>

F(x) = 1/x<br> g(x) = x - 4<br> Can you evaluate (gof)(0)? Explain why or why<br> not.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

f(x) = \frac{1}{x}\\\\g(x) = x - 4

A composite function is denoted by (g o f) (x) = g (f(x)).

The notation g o f is read as “g of f”

Therefore, let us find whether (gof)(0) can be evaluated or not

To find (gof)(0):

(g o f) (x) = g (f(x))

Now substitute the given value of f(x)

(g o f) (x) = g(\frac{1}{x})

\text{ Substitute } x = \frac{1}{x} \text{ in } g(x) = x - 4

(g o f) (x) = \frac{1}{x} - 4

Now to find (gof)(0), substitute x = 0

(g o f) (x) = \frac{1}{0} - 4

Since 1 divided by 0 is undefined, because any number divided by 0 is undefined

(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated

Use the principle of inclusion and exclusion to find the number of positive integers less than 1,000,000 that are not divisable
wel
This is a simple problem based on combinatorics which can be easily tackled by using inclusion-exclusion principle.
We are asked to find number of positive integers less than 1,000,000 that are not divisible by 6 or 4.
let n be the number of positive integers.
∴ 1≤n≤999,999
Let c₁ be the set of numbers divisible by 6 and c₂ be the set of numbers divisible by 4.
Let N(c₁) be the number of elements in set c₁ and N(c₂) be the number of elements in set c₂.

∴N(c₁) = \frac{999,999}{6} = 166666
N(c₂) = \frac{999,999}{4} = 250000
∴N(c₁c₂) = \frac{999,999}{24} = 41667
∴ Number of positive integers that are not divisible by 4 or 6,

N(c₁`c₂`) = 999,999 - (166666+250000) + 41667 = 625000
Therefore, 625000 integers are not divisible by 6 or 4

AnnyKZ [126]
5% is 0.05 in decimals. To get 5% of M, multiply it. To convert a percentage into decimals, divide the number by 100. 20/100 is 0.2. 0.2 is the tip. Do the same as 0.05 and add in the actual cost of the meal (M). Check image
