-2.3x + 4.2x = 15.01         original equation

1.9x = 15.01                    combine like terms

1.9x/1.9 = 15.01/1.9        divide both sides by 1.9 to get x alone

<u>x = 7.9</u>                           simplify

CHECK YOUR WORK:

<u>plug in the solution to x into the original equation like so:</u>

-2.3(7.9) + 4.2(7.9) = 15.01        original equation w/ substitute for x

-18.17 + 33.18 = 15.01                simplify multiplication

<u>15.01 = 15.01</u>                             simplify addition

<u>When you get an answer like this, you know that the solution to x that you found is correct.</u>

Answer:

x = 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.3x + 4.2x = 15.01

combine like terms

1.9x = 15.01

divide both sides by 1.9

x = 7.9

Does the graph shown below represent y as a linear function of x?
marshall27 [118]

Answer: No, it is not a linear function

Explanation:

We can see that it's a function because it passes the vertical line test, but it's not linear. To be linear, it needs to be one single straight line only (instead of composed of multiple pieces of different straight lines). This graph is considered a piecewise function.

So if your teacher asked "is this a function?" then the answer would be "yes". However, the "linear" portion is what makes the final answer "no".

Kayla has a tshirt store. she sold three times as many white tshirts as blue tshirts. she sold a total of 48 tshirts. How many w
SpyIntel [72]
First make the equation:

1. x
2. 3x

x + 3x = 48

Now solve it:
x + 3x = 48
4x= 48
x=12

Now plug in x 
1. x = 12
2. 3x = 36

So Kayla sold 12 blue t-shirts and 36 white t-shirts.
