X-1=5x+3x-8help this confused child

1 answer:

4 0

X-1= 5x+3x-8

Combine like terms
x-1= 8x-8

Our goal is to isolate x by cancelling out other numbers.
Subtract x from both sides
x-1-x= 8x-x-8
-1= 7x-8

Add 8 to both sides
7=7x

Divide both sides by 7
1=x

Final answer: x=1

Which two transformations must be applied to the graph of y = ln(x) to result in the graph of y = –ln(x) + 64?

stiks02 [169]

Answer: A) reflection over the x-axis, plus a vertical translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, when we have a function y = f(x)

> A reflection over the x-axis changes a point (x, y) to a point (x, -y), then for a function (x , y = f(x)) the point will change to (x, -y =- f(x))

then for a funtion g(x), this tranformation can be written as h(x) = -g(x).

> A vertical translation of A units (A positive) up for a function g(x) can be written as: h(x) = g(x) + A.

Then in this case we have:

y = g(x) = ln(x)

and the transformed function is h(x) = -ln(x) + 64

Then we can start with h(x) = g(x)

first do a reflection over the x-axis, and now we have:

h(x) = -g(x) = -ln(x)

And now we can do a vertical translation of 64 units up

h(x) = -g(x) + 64 = -ln(x) + 64

Then the correct option is:

A) reflection over the x-axis, plus a vertical translation

Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(2\times x + 3\times y)$

and

Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(4\times x + 4\times y)$

According to the question,

$(2\times x + 3\times y) = 8$ -----(1)

$(4\times x + 4\times y) = 13$ -----(2)

multiplying (1) by 2 we get,

$(4\times x + 6\times y) = 16$ -----(3)

Deducting (2) from (3) we get,

$2\times y = 3$

⇒ $y = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ ------------------(4)

Putting value of y in (1) we get,

$(2\times x = 8 - 3\times 1.5) = 3.5$

⇒ $x =\frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75$ ------------(5)
