You want to break this down.

“5 less than” means you’ll subtract 5 from something.

That something is “3 times a number.” “3 times a number” means 3•x or 3x, since we’ll use x for that unknown number.

So, “5 less than 3 times a number” means “subtract 5 from 3x”: 3x-5

“Is” means “equals”. So 3x-5= something.

7, well, that’s 7.

So “5 less than 3 times a number is 7” means ”subtract 5 from 3x and set that equal to 7.”

3x-5=7

Answer:

The equation would be 5-3x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less than indicates subtraction, and 3 times a number indicates both values being multiplied with each other, so it's 3x. Hope that helped.

Can someone please find the vertex?
crimeas [40]
You have the correct axis of symmetry value. Nice work.

Plug that x value into the equation to get...
y = -2x^2 - 12x - 10
y = -2*(-3)^2 - 12*(-3) - 10 <<-- replace every x with -3; then use PEMDAS
y = -2*(9) - 12*(-3) - 10
y = -18 + 36 - 10
y = 18 - 10
y = 8

The vertex is the ordered pair (-3, 8)

Note: the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex

How would you describe the relationship between the real zeros and x-intercepts of the function y = log (x-2)?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When you set the function equal to zero, the solution is x = 3; therefore, the graph has an x-intercept at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is y=\log (x - 2).

So, for real zeros and x-intercept, the y-coordinate must be equal to zero.

Then it becomes 0 = \log (x-2)

⇒ x - 2 = 1 {Since log 1 = 0}

⇒ x = 3

Therefore, when you set the function equal to zero, the solution is x = 3; therefore, the graph has an x-intercept at x = 3. (Answer)
