Solve for x: -2(x + 3) = -4x + 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phantasy [73]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with 13

-2(13 + 3) = -4(13) + 20

-32 = -52 + 20

-32 = -32

x = 1 basically

now 19

-2(19 + 3) = -4(19) +20

-44 = -76 + 20

-44 = -56

so divide those

-2(31 + 3) = -4(31) + 20

-68 = -124 + 20

-68 = -104

divide them

-2(37 + 3) = -4(37) + 20

-80 = -148 + 20

-80 = -128

Find the solution:<br> 3x + 2y = 12<br> -2x + 3y = 5
finlep [7]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 12

-2x + 3y = 5 to find the solution we will use elimination method and for that, multiply second equation with 3 and the first equation with 2

<em>2 * 3x + 2y = 12</em>

<em>6x + 4y = 24</em>

<u>3 * -2x + 3y = 5</u>

<u>-6x + 9y = 15</u>  now find the sum of both equation:

<em>6x + 4y  </em><u>-6x + 9y</u> = 24 + 15 add like terms

13y = 39 divide both sides by 13

y = 3 now that we found the value of y we can use this to calculate the value of x

3x + 2y = 12 replace y with 3

3x + 2*2 = 12

3x + 4 = 12 subtract 4 from both sides

3x = 9 divide both sides by 3

x = 3

Answer: y=-1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use point slope formula you get

y+2=-1/2(x+4)

simplify that in y=mx+b and you get

Let f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=2x2−1<br> Find f(g(2))<br><br><br> 10<br><br> 22<br><br> 97<br><br> 28
kupik [55]

Answer:

f(g(2)) = 22

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Composition of functions

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3x + 1

g(x) = 2x² - 1

<u>Step 2: Find g(2)</u>

  1. Substitute:                    g(2) = 2(2)² - 1
  2. Evaluate:                       g(2) = 2(4) - 1
  3. Multiply:                        g(2) = 8 - 1
  4. Subtract:                       g(2) = 7

<u>Step 3: Find f(g(2))</u>

  1. Define:                    g(2) = 7
  2. Rewrite:                   f(7)
  3. Substitute:               f(7) = 3(7) + 1
  4. Multiply:                   f(7) = 21 + 1
  5. Add:                         f(7) = 22

And we have our final answer!
