The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
$3,600 is 0.8% (or 80%) of $4,500.
Answer:
f(x) = 0.5(x + 3)^2 + 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal stretch is given by multiplying by 1/2 or 0.5:
f(x) = 0.5x^2
Now a shift of 3 to the left gives f(x) = 0.5(x + 3)^2.
5 units up gives 0.5(x + 3)^2 + 5.
