F(x) = -5x + 1

f(-3) = ?

subtitute x = -3 to the equation of the function:

f(-3) = -5 · (-3) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

<span>f(x) = −5x + 1
putting the value of x= -3 in above function
</span>f(-3)=-5x-3+1
f(-3)= 15+1
=16.

Solve for x. 3/4 = x/12 <br> I need work shown to

marta [7]

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{12}$

To solve for x you have to bring the 12 to the other side

How do we do this?

Well if you think about it this is technically what the equation shows

$\frac{3}{4} = x * \frac{1}{12}$

This means to isolate x you can multiply both sides by 12 and that will cancel $\frac{1}{12}$ from the right side

$\frac{3}{4} * 12 = x * \frac{1}{12} * 12$

$\frac{36}{4} = x * 1\\\frac{36}{4} = x$

$\frac{36}{4}$ can be further simplified to...

^^^This is the answer

Check:

3/4 = 9/12

3/4 = 3/4

Hope this helped!

The distance between city A and B is 600 km. The first train left A and headed towards B at the speed of 60 km/hour. The secon

$\bf \textit{meaning}\implies

keep in mind, that "t" is the time when the train at A station, left towards B station

they met, at some time "t", and by the time that happened, train from A
which started 3 hours earlier, had already covered "d" distance,
whatever that is
and the train coming from B, covered, 600-d, or the difference
