If the expression x-3 has a value of -5,then which of the following represents the value of 3x-9

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Italics by itself are comments, italics and underlines are helpful rules, bold highlights little facts.

x-3=-5 : since the expression 'x-3' is being assigned the value '-5'

We then isolate or leave the variable 'x' on one side, usually the left-hand side and move all constants (numbers without letters attached such as 3, 4, 5..etc.) and variables (letters such as x, y, a, b..etc.) that do not have 'x', to the right-hand side of the equality symbol (=). This also includes terms such as 5x, -2y, 50z..etc.

(Remember that the opposite of multiplication is division and vice versa and the opposite of addition is subtraction and vice versa).

To do that, we add 3 to both sides of the equation, because the opposite of subtraction is addition (in this case 3 is being subtracted by x, therefore in order to cancel 3 on the left, we do the opposite of the operation). By doing this, we effectively cancel 3 on the left and bring it to the right-hand side. After all, 3 cannot be in two places at once (well not in this equation).

x=-5+3 which is equal to -2.

Hence, x=-2

Now that we know what 'x' is we can work on the other expression: 3x-9

Substitute the value for 'x' (-2 is what we got) into the 'x' in the expression.

3(-2)-9=?

(Remember that a positive number multiplied by a negative number will ALWAYS be a negative number. In other words, (+) × (-) = (-). Yes, this also includes a negative number multiplied by a positive number).

Therefore, 3×(-2) will equal -6.

-6-9=-15

Hence, 3x-9=-15.

To make sure your answer is correct, do the equation backwards. Add 9 to -15 which would then give you -6.

Here's how that looks: 3x-9 (+9)= -15 (+9).

You would then be left with 3x=-6.

If you remembered the rule typed previously, I said in order to isolate 'x' we do the opposite of the operation. 3x means '3' multiplied by 'x', therefore the opposite of multiplication is division:

3x(÷3)=-6(÷3) ----> 3 divided by 3 equals 1. Anything multiplied by 1 will be equal to itself (x*1= x)

(An asterisk can also symbolise multiplication).

Therefore when 3x is divided by 3, the constants would cancel each other out, 1 would be left looking like this: 1x=... and 1x is the same as x by itself.

-6 divided by 3 is equal to -2 (a positive divided by a negative will always be negative and vice versa).

Hence, x=-2.

Janine babysits for $14.50 per hour. She also works as a dishwasher at her family's restaurant for $9.50 per hour. Her family ne

FrozenT [24]

The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5

5!(3!)/4! all include factorials. what to do?

shtirl [24]

5! Is the same as 5x4x3x2x1 and 4! Is the same as 4x3x2x1 because 4! Is in the denominator it cancels the 4x3x2x1 in the numerator and you are left with 5x(3!) witch is the same a 5x3x2x1. The answer=30
