Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute 3:                    12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
  2. Combine like terms:       8x - 14 = -6
  3. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                 8x = 8
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                          x = 1

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
  2. Multiply:                               3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
  3. Subtract:                              3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
  4. Multiply:                               -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
  5. Subtract:                              -7 + 1 = -6
  6. Add:                                     -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.

A bookstore had 90 copies of a magazine. Yesterday, it sold 1/6 of them. Today, it sold 1/5 of what remained. How many copies do
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

60 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

first you take 1/6th of the original 90 copies which is 15 and subtract that from the 90, you are left with 75 copies which is how many they had left at the end of yesterday. then you take 1/5th of the 75 copies that are left which is also 15 and you subtract that from 75 and you get 60. that's why at the end of today there are 60 copies left.

The price of gold has increased by 35% per year from 2000 in the year 2000 hairy bought a gold ring for $590 which of the follow
Lyrx [107]

Since the price is increasing by percentage, rather than a constant rate, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y=ab^x (a = initial value, b = growth/decay)

Since the value was $590 in the year 2000, 590 will be our a variable.

Since the value is *increasing* by 35%, add 1 and 0.35 (35% in decimal form) together to get 1.35. 1.35 is going to be your b variable.

Putting our equation together, our equation is f(x) = 590(1.35)^x
