Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3.5(x + 12) = -2x + 18

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute 3.5:                    3.5x + 42 = -2x + 18
  2. Add 2x on both sides:       5.5x + 42 = 18
  3. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                    5.5x = -24
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                             x = -4.36364

Answer:

The answer I arrived at was x = -4.364

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5(x + 12) = -2x + 18

=> multiply 3.5 by everything in parenthesis

3.5x + 42 = -2x + 18

=> subtract 18 from both sides

3.5x + 24 = -2x

=> subtract 3.5x from both sides

24 = -5.5x

=> divide both sides by -5.5

-4.364 = x

Answer:

22. Perimeter = 52 units

     Area = 160 Square Units

23. Notation form :  2 \times 10^{5}

     Standard Form : 200000

Step-by-step explanation:

22.

The formula for perimeter is

P = 2 (length + Width )

  = 2 ( 2x+3x+1)

  =  2(5x+1)

The Formula for Area of a rectangle is

A= length x width

A= 2x \times (3x+1)

A=6x^2+2x

Now we have to find the Perimeter and Area for x = 5

P = 2(5 x 5 +1)

P= 2(26)

P=52 units

A= 6 x 5 x 5 + 2 x 5

A= 150 + 10

A= 160 square units

23.

A. By using rule of exponents , we can determine that both the results will be same.

B.

Miriam's calculation

\frac{2.8 \times 10^{9}}{1.4 \times 10^{4}}

\frac{2.8}{1.4} \times 10^{9-4}

2 \times 10^5

Priya's calculation

\frac{2.8 \times 10^{2}}{1.4 \times 10^{-3}}

\frac{2.8}{1.4} \times 10^{2-(-3)}

2 \times 10^5

Standard notation

2 \times 10^5 = 200000

The table below represents the distance of a car from its destination as a function of time.
KIM [24]
We are given the table that projects the distance of the car per hour. x is associated to time while y is associated to distance. The equation of the line after plotting in MS Excel is y = 900 - 50x. Hence the y-intercept is equal to 900 while the slope is equal to -50. The domain of the function that is x is all positive numbers.

Given f(x)= 2x²+4x-6 and g(x)=2x-2, find each function
valkas [14]
F(x)= 2x²+4x-6 and g(x)=2x-2, find each function
1. (f/g) (x) = f(x)÷g(x) = (2x²+4x-6)÷(2x-2)
First factor both top and bottom:
(2x-2)(x+3)÷(2x-2) = x+3

2. f(a + 2) = plug (a+2) in anywhere there is an x in f(x)=2x²+4x-6 -->
2(a+2)^2 +4(a+2)-6 = 2(a^2+4a+4)+4a+8-6, now distribute:
2a^2+8a+8+4a+2, combine like terms
2a^2+12a+10

3. g(a/2) = plug (a/2) in anywhere there's an x in g(x)=2x-2:
2(a/2)-2 = a-2
