Answer:

x = -10

Steps:

2(2x - 8) = x - 46 Multiply 2 and 2x, and multiply 2 and -8

4x - 16 = x - 46 You then have this equation

-x -x Subtract x from both sides

Now let me stop here. Why are we subtracting? Because we have variables on both sides, we subtract the least number with the variable. We have 4x and we have x. Now, x means 1x, and 1x is less than 4x. Therefore, we subtract 1x from both sides : 4x - 1x = 3x.

3x -16 = -46 Then you get this

+16 +16 Add 16 to both sides (if it said 3x +16 = -46, then you'd subtract)

3x = -30 You now have this

3 3 You only want x, so divide 3 from both sides

x = -10 Hope this helps!

Answer: X = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Times two to the parentheses

Minus X from both sides, left with 3X-16=-46

Add 16 to both sides 3X=-30

Divide both sides by 3

Answer X=-10

The graphs of rational functions m and n have the same vertical asymptotes, and both have a single x-intercept at x = 5.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two rational functions m(x) and n(x) that have the same vertical asymptotes both with a single x-intercept at x = 5.

The correct choice will be A.

Recall the transformations of functions.

B represents m(x) being shifted up 5 units. If the function is shifted up, the vertical asymptotes will be the same, but the x-intercept will change.

C represents m(x) being shifted 5 units to the right. This changes both the x-intercept and the vertical asymptotes.

Likewise, D represents m(x) being shifted 5 units to the left. Again, this will change both the x-intercept and the vertical asymptotes.

Therefore, the only choice left is A. It represents a vertical stretch by a factor of 5. This preserves the x-intercepts and the vertical asymptotes. Consider the function:

$\displaystyle m(x)=\frac{x-5}{(x-3)(x-7)}$

If n(x)=5m(x), we can see that:

$\displaystyle n(x)=\frac{5(x-5)}{(x-3)(x-7)}$

So, the x-interceps and vertical asymptotes are preserved.

Two fewer than a number doubled is the same as the number decreased by 38. if n is "the number," which equation could be used to

Alona [7]

$\displaystyle \\ 
\text{We use the following equation:} \\ \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\ \\ 
We solve for n: \\ \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 ~~\Big| \times 2 \\ \\ 
n = 2 \times n - 2 \times 38 \\ \\ 
n = 2n - 76 \\ \\ 
2n - n = 76 \\ \\ 
\boxed{n = 76} \\ \\ 
\text{Verification: } \\ \\ 
\frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\ \\ 
\frac{76}{2} = 76 - 38 \\ \\ 
\boxed{38 = 38 ~~~ Correct }$
