Solve for x. 2x−5=−x+7

Mathematics

Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to isolate the variable on one side first so that the equation is easier to solve.  To do that, add x to both sides to get 2x + x, which is 3x.  This gets rid of the -x on the other side and results with the new equation

3x - 5 = 7.   Add 5 to both sides to get 3x = 12, then divide both sides by 3 to get x = 4.  

You can check your work by plugging in 4 for x.  

2(4) - 5 = -(4) + 7

8 - 5 = 3

3 = 3

Therefore, x is equal to 4.  

Hope this helped!  Have a good day!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation

2x−5+x=−x+7+x

3x−5=7

3x−5+5=7+5

3x=12

x=4

Find the slope 3x+5y=29
tester [92]

Answer: -\frac{3}{5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If you solve for y, then it will be in y = mx + b format where m is the slope.

3x + 5y = 29

<u>-3x        </u>  <u> -3x </u>

       5y = -3x + 29

       \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{-3x}{5} + \frac{29}{5}

       y = \frac{-3}{5}x + \frac{29}{5}

m = -\frac{3}{5}

If you were to graph 1.14, 1.15, and 0.5. what would you count by on your number line?
GREYUIT [131]

If you want to include 0, the overall interval is 115 times 0.01, or 23 times 0.05 or 11.5 times 0.10. The latter might make it harder to plot 1.14, so I'd probably use an interval of 0.05.

Between 6 or 7 and about 25 intervals on a graph's scale are about right. More makes it pretty busy and sometimes difficult to tell which mark is associated with the number. A fewer number is indicated only if there are a fewer number of discrete values that need to be shown to adequately identify the data points.

I need help, plz help meh, pplz
Leya [2.2K]

I will only answer 1, 4, and 5 for you.

#1.

2pm = 10 feet, 6pm = 2 feet

You would subtract so 6 - 2 = 4 hours

10 - 2 = 8 hours

The water went down 8 feet in 4 hours

Then you'd find how many feet it went down in an hour, which you'd divide

8/4 = 2 feet

The constant rate of the water would be 2 feet/hour

#4.  

Jazz = 43 inches tall, 18 months later Jazz = 52 inches tall

Again, you'd subtract just like we did in #1.

52 - 43 = 9 inches

Then you'd divide 9 inches into the 18 months

9/18 = 0.5

So Jaz grew 0.5 inches.

#5

For this question, all you have to do is look at the graph. You see those points? Look at the numbers on the side, you will see that they increase by 10 each time. So there's your answer! Toby biked 10 miles per week.

Find its inverse and check your answer. (b) Find the domain and the range of f and
ElenaW [278]

We have the function:

f(x) = 3x / (x + 7)

(a)

We rename the function as: f(x) = y

Then:

y = 3x / (x + 7)

Taking the inverse:

1/y = (x + 7) / 3x

1/y = x/3x + 7/3x

1/y = 1/3 + 7/3x

Solving for x:

1/y - 1/3 = 7/3x

1/x = 3/7y - 1/7 = (3 - y) / 7y

Taking the inverse:

x = 7y / (3 - y)

Then, the inverse function of f is:

f ⁻¹(x) = 7x / (3 - x)

(b)

We know that the division by 0 is undefined in real numbers. From the function f, we have a division by 0 if x = -7, so the domain should be:

Dom_f = {x| x ≠ -7}

For the range, we know that x = -7 is a vertical asymptote of the function f, so this means that the graph never passes across x = -7, but it tends to it on infinity. Then, the range of f is:

Ran_f = All the real numbers

For f ⁻¹(x), we see that for x = 3 there is a division by 0, so this is an asymptote of the function. Then, the domain of f ⁻¹ is:

Dom_f ⁻¹ = {x| x ≠ 3}

Again, as there is an asymptote, the range is:

Ran_f ⁻¹ = All the real numbers
