When we factor out something, we divide the factor by the equation. For example if we were to factor 3 out of 6, It will be 3(2). We got this answer by dividing 3 and 6. Using this concept:

\frac{-1}{4}[( \frac{-1}{2} / \frac{-1}{4}) - ( \frac{5}{4} y /  \frac{-1}{4})]

Simplifying:

\frac{-1}{4}(2 + 5y)

Hope this helps!

If g(x) is a linear function such that g(-3) = 2 and g(1) = -4, find g(7).
eimsori [14]
<h3>Answer:   -13</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

g(-3) = 2 means x = -3 and y = 2 pair up together to form the point (-3,2)

g(1) = -4 means we have the point (1,-4)

Find the slope of the line through the two points (-3,2) and (1,-4)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(1-(-3))

m = (-4-2)/(1+3)

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

m = -1.5

The general slope intercept form y = mx+b turns into y = -1.5x+b after replacing m with -1.5

Plug in (x,y) = (-3,2) which is one of the points mentioned earlier and we end up with this new equation:  2 = -1.5*(-3) + b

Let's solve for b

2 = -1.5*(-3)+b

2 = 4.5 + b

2-4.5 = 4.5+b-4.5 .... subtract 4.5 from both sides

-2.5 = b

b = -2.5

Therefore, y = mx+b becomes y = -1.5x-2.5 meaning the g(x) function is g(x) = -1.5x-2.5

The last step is to plug in x = 7 and compute

g(x) = -1.5*x - 2.5

g(7) = -1.5*7 - 2.5

g(7) = -10.5 - 2.5

g(7) = -13

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 5x2 + 60x = 0?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

It's A.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x2 + 60x = 0

5x is the GCF so:

5x(x + 12 ) = 0

5x = 0, x + 12 = 0

x =0, x = -12.
