4x - 2(0.5x-1) =14
4x - 1x +2 = 14
3x + 2 = 14
X= 4
Plug that into second equation to get y
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If
then
by combining like terms. (I'm thinking you might have mistyped the problem because this representation is weird).

Answer: graph E.
A geometric sequence can be written as:

where:
a₁ = first term = 4
r = ratio = 0.5
Substituting the numbers, we have:

or else

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).
In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2 + 58 = 90
3x + 60 = 90
3x = 30
x = 10
it's adjacent
