Answer:

  x = 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment sum theorem tells you ...

  AB +BC = AC

  36 +(5x -9) = 54

  5x = 27 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 27 from both sides

  x = 5.4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Tomtit [17]
They bought 5 trophies total

1st trophy cost $37.50
($18.50+$12.50+$4+$2.50=$37.50)
Each additional trophy cost $15

They spent $97.50 total
$97.50-$37.50=$60
Additional trophies $15

Evaluate the function at the indicated values. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.) f(x) = 8x + 9 f(1) = f(−2) = f 1 2
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

f(1)=17

f(-2)=-7

f(\frac{1}{2})=13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function f(x)=8x+9

We have to evaluate f(1),f(-2) and f(\frac{1}{2})

Substitute x=1 in the given function  then we get

f(1)=8(1)+9=17

f(1)=17

Substitute x=-2 in the given function then we get

f(-2)=8(-2)+9=-16+9=-7

f(-2)=-7

Substitute x=\frac{1}{2}

Then we get

f(\frac{1}{2})=8(\frac{1}{2})+9=4+9=13

f(\frac{1}{2})=13
