Enter the value of w so the expression -5 +0.6W is equivalent to w (2.5 – 0.3w)
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
w = -2 or 8 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting the two expressions equal makes a quadratic equation:
-5 +0.6w = w(2.5 -0.3w)
0.3w^2 -1.9w -5 = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right-side expression
3w^2 -19s -50 = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 10 to give integer coefficients
(3w -25)(w +2) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
We can use the zero product rule to find the solutions. The product will be zero only if a factor is zero.
3w -25 = 0 ⇒ w = 25/3 = 8 1/3
w +2 = 0 ⇒ w = -2
The values of w that make the two expressions equivalent are -2 and 8 1/3.

Answer:
Graph y = 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's get the equation into standard form. Distribute the 2 on the right.
Next, we want the variable "y" to be alone, so we at 4 to both sides.
That is our equation in standard y = mx + b form. "m" is our slope, while "b" is our y-intercept. Above , we don't have a value for b, therefore the line passes through the origin.
We do, however, have a slope, which can be thought of as or rise over run. To represent this, we can rewrite our slope as:
Meaning in each interval, the line goes up by 2 units, and moves forward by 1.
