What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)

What is slope between the points (-5,7) and (4,-8)?
WINSTONCH [101]
The slope can sometimes be called the gradient, and the equation for the gradient is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). So therefore, you'd do: (-8 - 7)/(4 - -5) which is (-15)/9) which is -1 2/3 or -1.6 (recurring), which is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if I've confused you :)

An exponential function f(x) = ab^xpasses through the points (0, 2) and (3, 54). What are the values of a and
Vsevolod [243]

Answers:

a = 2

b = 3

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

Explanation:

Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that

y = a*b^x

2 = a*b^0

2 = a*1

2 = a

a = 2

Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b

y = a*b^x

y = 2*b^x

54 = 2*b^3

2b^3 = 54

b^3 = 54/2

b^3 = 27

b = (27)^(1/3)

b = 3

So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x
