Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−4)=6x

(2)(x)+(2)(−4)=6x (Distribute)

2x + −8 = 6x

2x − 8 = 6x

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x −8 − 6x = 6x − 6x

−4x − 8 = 0

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−4x − 8 + 8 = 0 + 8

−4x = 8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4

= 8/−4

x = −2

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute the 2 through x-4 you get 2x-8=6x then subtract 2x from both sides of the equation now you have 4x=-8 then divide 4 from both sides of the equation and you x=-2

Let $f(x)$ be a function defined for all positive real numbers satisfying the conditions $f(x) > 0$ for all $x > 0$ and $f

algol [13]

Suppose we choose $x=1$ and $y=\dfrac12$ . Then

$f(x-y)=\sqrt{f(xy)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\sqrt{f\left(\dfrac12\right)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Now suppose we choose $x,y$ such that

$\begin{cases}x-y=\dfrac12\\\\xy=2009\end{cases}$

where we pick the solution for this system such that $x>y>0$ . Then we find

$\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2=\sqrt{f(2009)+1}\implies f(2009)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2$

Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies $x>y>0$ as long as $x>\dfrac12$ . What this means is that you can always find the value of $f(x)$ as a (constant) function of $f\left(\dfrac12\right)$ .

Given that F( x ) = x 2 + 2, evaluate F(1) + F(5).

stealth61 [152]

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(1) + f(5) = 30}$

Given:

$f(x) = x^{2} + 2$

Evaluate $f(1) + f(5)$

Solve for each:

$f(1) = (1)^{2} + 2 = 3$

$f(5) = (5)^{2} + 2 = 27$

$27 + 3 = 30$

Consider a diving board that is 10 feet above a pool. If the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, approximat

OleMash [197]

Answer: 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a diving board is 10 feet above a pool. Since the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, to calculate how tall is the ladder is, we subtract -5 from 10. This will be:

= 10 - (-5)

= 10 + 5

= 15 feet

The answer is option C.
