3 • 2 • 1 • 0 = 0 <br><br> What property is illustrated by this question?

These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).

To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18

To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.

f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18

Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.

f(x/3) = 2x -18

Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3

This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing

f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3

We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.

f(x)/3 = 2x - 6

Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.

Hope this helps!

Target sells 24 bottles of water for $3, and 36 bottles of water for $4. Which is the better buy and by how much?

goblinko [34]

I would say 36 bottles for $4 by 1.4 cent because you get more bottle of waters and it doesn't cost that much money for a bottle of water
