Only when <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1<em>.</em>

If <em>f(x)</em> = <em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, then

<em>f</em> (<em>kx</em>) = <em>m</em> (<em>kx</em>) + <em>b</em> = <em>mkx</em> + <em>b</em>

while

<em>k</em> <em>f(x)</em> = <em>k</em> (<em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>) = <em>kmx</em> + <em>kb</em>

The two expression are identical only if

<em>kb</em> = <em>b</em>   ===>   <em>kb</em> - <em>b</em> = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> (<em>k</em> - 1) = 0   ===>   <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1

Can some help me with my homework it’s number 5. 6. 7. 8. And 9.
BaLLatris [955]

Answers:

5. 296

6. 479

7. 801

8. 920

9. $281

Step-by-step explanation:

For 5-8, you add the 2 numbers. Line up the numbers by their place value.

For 9, it says she starts with $233. She worked for 6 hours today. She makes $8 for every hour. First, you have to find how much she made today. 6 hrs times $8 for every hr is $48. In total, she has $281 because we added the amount she starts with, and the amount she earned today.

The sum of three numbers is 102. The first number is 6 more than the second. The third number is 4 times the second. What are th
const2013 [10]

Answer:

1st number: 22

2nd number: 16

3rd number: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 102

x = 6 + y

z = 4y

plug that in!

(6 + y) + y + (4y) = 102

get rid of the parenthesis (I added them so you could see what I was replacing) and add like terms.

6 + 6y = 102

move 6 to the other side.

6y = 96

y = 16

now that you know one number, you can solve the equations for the rest!

x = 6 + (16)

z = 4(16)

__________________________________________________________

x = 22

y = 16

z = 64
