Lin solved the equation

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: x=1/2

she was wrong, it's supposed to be

Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)

8x+−24+7=−26x

(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)

8x+−17=−26x

8x−17=−26x

Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.

8x−17+26x=−26x+26x

34x−17=0

Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.

34x−17+17=0+17

34x=17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.

34x/34=17/34 x=1/2

Let f(x)= - 3x - 1 and g(x)=x2 + 2. Find (fog)(-6).

Leona [35]

Answer:(Fog)(-6)=29

Step-by-step explanation:

(fog)=-3(2x+2)-1

=-6x-6-1

=-6x-7

(fog)(-6)= -6(-6)-7

=36-7

=29

What is the value of a in the equation 3a + b = 54, when b = 9?

nasty-shy [4]

In order to do this you have to substitute b with 9 and get 3a+9=54, now subtract 9 from both sides to leave a by itself and get 3a=45, now divide 3 in both sides to leave a by itself and get a=15

Hope this helps

Lucy went to the pet store to buy 17 fish for her aquarium. She bought Fancy Goldfish for $13.49 each and Plecos for $3.25 each.

tatuchka [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

let gold fish= X

let Plecos fish= Y

X +Y = 17................(I)

13.49X + 3.25Y =198.61........(II)

solve simuteniously to get

X = 14

Y = 3.....therefore

she bought 14 gold fish and 3 plecos fish

Choose all the functions that give the sequence:

TEA [102]

Hence, the functions that produce given sequence are:

f(n) = 2n + 1

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3

Further explanation:

We will put n=1,2,3,4,5 to find which functions give the given sequence

f(n) = 2n − 1

Putting values of n

$f(1)=2(1)-1=2-1=1\\f(2)=2(2)-1=4-1=3\\f(3)=2(3)-1=6-1=5$

This function doesn't generate the given sequence

f(n) = 2n + 1

Putting values of n

$f(1)=2(1)+1=2+1=3\\f(2)=2(2)+1=4+1=5\\f(3)=2(3)+1=6+1=7\\f(4)=2(4)+1=8+1=9\\f(5)=2(5)+1=10+1=11$

This function generates the given sequence.

f(n) = 2(n − 1) − 3

Putting values of n

$f(1) = 2(1 -1) -3=2(0)-3=0-3=-3\\f(2) = 2(2 -1) -3=2(1)-3=2-3=-1\\f(3) = 2(3-1) -3=2(2)-3=4-3=1$

This function doesn't generate the given sequence

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3

Putting values of n

$f(1) = 2(1 - 1) + 3=2(0)+3=0+3=3\\f(2) = 2(2 - 1) + 3=2(1)+3=2+3=5\\f(3) = 2(3 - 1) + 3=2(2)+3=4+3=7\\f(4) = 2(4 - 1) + 3=2(3)+3=6+3=9$

Hence, the functions that produce given sequence are:

f(n) = 2n + 1

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3
