Answer:

It would be True

Step-by-step explanation:

2+5x = -8

SUBTACT 2 on both sides and it would look like this:

5x = -8 - (2)

5X= -10

then DIVIDE 5 both side to get "X" ALONE,

x= -10/5

then divide -10 with 5

equal to:

x = -2

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, use the graph to determine the value of k.

zalisa [80]

<h3>Answer: C) 4</h3>

All points on the blue curve f(x) are shifted up 4 units to get corresponding points on the red curve g(x). For example, the point (0,-3) moves up 4 units to (0,1).

g(x) = f(x)+k

g(x) = f(x)+4

F(x)=3x+5 over x , what is f(a+2)

Fed [463]

<u>Answer</u>

F(a+2) = (3a+11)/(a+2)

<u>Explanation</u>

F(x) = (3x + 5)/x

If you are to find F(a+2), you replace x with (a+2)

F(a+2) = (3(a+2)+5))/(a+2)

= (3a+6+5)/(a+2)

=(3a+11)/(a+2)

Jack usually mows his lawn in 6 hours. marilyn can mow the same yard in 4 hours. How much time would it take for them to mow the

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack mows 1/6 of the lawn per hour while Marilyn mows 1/4 of the lawn together. Adding up those rates yields in their combined mowing rate:

$R = \frac{1}{6}+ \frac{1}{4}\\R=\frac{10}{24}$

The time required for them to mow the entire lawn is:

$t = \frac{1}{R}\\t = \frac{1*24}{10}\\ t=2.4\ hours$

It would take them both 2.4 hours to mow the lawn together.
