Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the given equation, you have ...

-6(x -2) +3x = -3(x +3) +21 . . . . . given

-6x +12 +3x = -3x -9 +21 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

-3x +12 = -3x +13 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

0 = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add (3x-12) to both sides

There is no value of x that will make this true.

The equation has NO SOLUTION.

-6(x+2) + 3x = -3(x+3) + 21

-6x - 12 + 3x = -3x - 9 + 21

-3x - 12 = -3x + 12

-3x + 3x = 12 + 12

0 = 24

Sorry but this equation has no solution.
-3x + 3x = 0, x is cancelled out so we can’t find ‘x’.

Given f(x)=4x+5 and g(x)= x^2+x; find (f∘g)(-5)<br> Please show all steps thank you

Greeley [361]

Answer:

$(f\circ g)(-5)=85$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$\displaystyle f(x)=4x+5\text{ and } g(x)=x^2+x$

And we want to find:

$(f\circ g)(-5)$

This is equivalent to:

$\displaystyle =f(g(-5))$

So, we will evaluate g(-5) first, which yields:

$\displaystyle g(-5)=(-5)^2+(-5)=25-5=20$

So:

$=f(g(-5))=f(20)$

Then:

$\displaystyle f(20)=4(20)+5=80+5=85$

Therefore:

$(f\circ g)(-5)=85$

A study show that there are 16 vehicles for every 10 households how many vehicles are there for 107 million households

Lisa [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
vehicles&households\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
16&10\\
v&107E6
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{16}{v}=\cfrac{10}{17E6}\implies \cfrac{17E6\cdot 16}{10}=v$

just to clarify the engineering notation, E6 is just 1 and 6 zeros, or a million, thus, 107,000,000 is just 107E6.
