Distribute
2(x-1) =3(x-4)
2x -2 =3 (x-4)
Distribute
2x-2 =3 (x-4)
2x-2=3x-12
Add 2 both sides of the equation
2x-2=3x-12
2x-2+2=3x-12+2
Simplify
2x=3x-10
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
2x=3x -10
2x -3x =3x -10 -3x
Simplify
-x=-10
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
-x=-10
-x/-1 / -1 / -10/-1
Simplify
X=10
Answer : x=10

If f(x) = 6x - 4 and g(x) = 2x^3, find g(3) - f(4)

Korolek [52]

To solve the problem, simply plug in the value for x in both functions, as shown below:

$f(4) = 6(4) - 4$

--> $f(3) = 24 - 4$

---> $f(3) = 20$

$g(3) = 2(3)^3$

--> $g(3) = 2 * (3^3)$

---> $g(3) = 2 * 27$

----> $g(3) = 54$

$g(3) - f(4) = 54 - 20$ , so the answer is 34.

What is the equation for passing through (-2,2) and (5,3)

Reil [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ -2}} &,&{{ 2}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ 5}} &,&{{ 3}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}}{\stackrel{run}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}}\implies \cfrac{3-2}{5-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{3-2}{5+2}\implies \cfrac{1}{7}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-2=\cfrac{1}{7}[x-(-2)]
\implies 
y-2=\cfrac{1}{7}(x+2)
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{1}{7}x+\cfrac{2}{7}\implies y=\cfrac{1}{7}x+\cfrac{2}{7}+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{7}x+\cfrac{16}{7}$

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Solution:

Hence

Kailey's parents should choose a bank that has a high interest rate.

Hence the correct option is (B)
