If that doesn't work, try simplifying the fraction.
<em>*Remember that y and f(x) are the same.</em>
With f(2), you are solving for the output (y), given that the input (x) is equal to 2.
With f(x) = 2, you are solving for the input (x), given that the output (y) is equal to 2.
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1+1+1+1+1
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
let a = 5
a² + 7 | Original equation
5² + 7 | Substitution of a as 5
25 + 7 | 5 to the power of 2 is 25, as 5*5 = 25.
32 | 25 + 7 = 32
