What is the solution to the equation below? 5c + 4 = 2(c - 5)

1 answer:

7 0

Distribute
5c + 4 = 2c - 10

Subtract 2c from each side
3c + 4 = -10

Subtract 4 from each side
3c = -14

Divide each side by 3
c = -4 2/3

The answer is #1

Intercept from a table

gladu [14]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} x&y\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ \boxed{14}&\boxed{-5}\\ 21&-3\\ \boxed{28}&\boxed{-1} \end{array}\impliedby \textit{we'll use two points to get the slope}$

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{14}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{28}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-1-(-5)}{28-14}\implies \cfrac{-1+5}{28-14} \\\\\\ \cfrac{4}{14}\implies \cfrac{2}{7} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-5)=\cfrac{2}{7}(x-14) \\\\\\ y+5=\cfrac{2}{7}x-4$

now, to get the y-intercept, we simply set x = 0 and solve for y, and to get the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{y-intercept, x = 0}}{y+5=\cfrac{2}{7}(0)-4}\implies y+5=-4\implies y=-9\qquad \qquad \stackrel{y-intercept}{(0~,-9)}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{x-intercept, y = 0}}{(0)+5=\cfrac{2}{7}x-4}\implies 5=\cfrac{2x}{7}-4\implies 9=\cfrac{2x}{7}\implies 63=2x \\\\\\ \cfrac{63}{2}=x\implies 31\frac{1}{2}=x\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{x-intercept}{\left( 31\frac{1}{2}~,~0 \right)}$

G = {(5, 3), (2, 3), (6, 4)} Is G-1 a function and why?

galben [10]

To get G^-1 all we need to do is flip the points around Example for (5,3) make it (3,5)
Here are the points in inverse (3,5); (3,2); (4,6)
To tell if a group of point can be a function we need to 1st look at the x values. If all the x values are different, then it is a function (the x's are not all different)
If there are x values that are the same, they MUST have the same y value.
look at the points (3,5) and (3,2) those have the same x but they go to different y values so it is not a function.

You can think about it like this. Can you go to more than 1 place at the EXACT same time? Obvious answer is no. Can you have multiple people go to the same room? Sure that is possible. Same with functions. An x value can ONLY go to 1 y value, and many different x values can go to the same y value.
