Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole goal when solving problems like this is to get the x alone. So the first step would be to get the -3 over to the other side. To do this, you would add 3 to each side of the equation, so that the -3 on the left side cancels out.

-2x - 3 = -7

+3 +3

-2x = -4

The next thing you need to do is divide each side by -2. You would do this because right now, the equation reads "negative two times x equals negative four". When you divide a multiplication problem, it cancels out, so you are left with just the x.

-2x = -4

÷ -2 ÷ -2

x = 2

You now have the value of x.

Please let me know if you need any more help. I hope this explanation helps you understand a bit better. Have a great day! :)

Which parent functions have an intercept at (0,0)Choose all that are correct.

inessss [21]

Answer:

Linear, Quadratic, Radical, Absolute Value, Cubic, Cube Root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

Which functions have an intercept at (0, 0).

That means, when we put a value $x=0$ in the $y =f(x)$ , value of $y=0$ .

Let us discuss each parent function one by one:

1. Linear:

$y = x$

When we put x = 0, y = 0

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

2. Quadratic:

$y = x^2$

When we put x = 0, y = 0

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

3. Radical:

$y = \sqrt x$

When we put x = 0, y = 0

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

4. Absolute Value:

$y = |x|$

When we put x = 0, y = 0

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

5. Rational:

$y = \dfrac{1}{x}$

When we put $x = 0\Rightarrow y \rightarrow \infty$

Therefore, it does not have intercept at (0, 0).

6. Exponential:

$y = b^x$

b is any base

When we put $x = 0\Rightarrow y =1$

Therefore, it does not have intercept at (0, 0).

7. Logarithmic:

$y = logx$

When we put $x = 0 \Rightarrow y\rightarrow$ Not defined

Therefore, it does not have intercept at (0, 0).

8. Cubic:

$y = x^3$

When we put $x = 0\Rightarrow y =0$

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

9. Cube Root:

$y = \sqrt[3]x$

When we put $x = 0\Rightarrow y =0$

Therefore, it has intercept at (0, 0).

A bakery makes small batches of bread daily. Each day, the bakery records the amount of flour used the number of loaves of bread

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The slope of the line would be the constant of proportionality for the line

shown. The point (35, 49) is really close the line which would make the

constant of proportionality 49/35 = 7/5. The equation of the line would be y =

7/5x. The number of loaves of bread from 85 pounds of flour would be

7/5(85) = 119 loaves.
