Answer:

the equation is x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

or 5x + 7 = 327

x = 64

Trisha has 135 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill has x votes.

If Morgan got twice as many votes as Jill, then Morgan has

2 times the number of votes

or 2x

Trisha won the election with 7 more votes than Morgan's, so we add 7 to this amount

2x + 7

So assuming Jill, Morgan, and Trisha are the only three candidates:

then x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

Combine like terms

5x + 7 = 327

Subtract 7 from both sides

5x = 320

x = 64

Check answer for x:

64 + 2(64) + 2(64) + 7 = 64 + 128 + 128 + 7 = 327

So Trisha has

2x + 7 = 2(64) + 7 = 128 + 7 = 135 votes

Let f(x) = 4|x|
Masja [62]

Answer:

g(x)=4|x-5|

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question wants you to <em>shift 5 units to the right</em>, all you need to do is add that - 5 inside the absolute value with the x, and it will shift the function 5 units to the right. I even attached a picture to prove that when adding - 5 inside the absolute value with the x, it shifts the function g(x) 5 units to the right.

Hope this helps! :)

Solve for x write the smaller solution first and the larger solution second. Round to two decimal places (x+8)^2-7=0
siniylev [52]

Answer:

x ≈ - 10.65, x ≈ - 5.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 8)² - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

(x + 8)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 8 = ± \sqrt{7} ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = - 8 ± \sqrt{7} , thus

x = - 8 - \sqrt{7} ≈ - 10.65

x = - 8 + \sqrt{7} ≈ - 5.35

10PTS: Prove/show that the limit of a constant as x approaches infinity is that constant?
Mashcka [7]
If the values of a function f(x) approach the value L as x approaches c, we say that f(x) has the limit L as x approaches c, and we write

In simpler terms, as x approaches c, the value of f(x) approaches L.

Last month Steve had $125 in his savings account This
ludmilkaskok [199]

20%.

As you can see, he gained 25 dollars within the past month.

There is a simple formula for this.

Increase = New number - original number. Then divide your answer by the original number and multiply by a hundred.

150 - 125 = <u>25</u>

25/125 = <u>0.2</u>

0.2 * 100 = 20%
