Answer:
X = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 X (5X-8) = -9
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2
5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)
5 x -8 = -18
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides
5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8
Then eliminate the opposites
5X = -18 + 8
Calculate the sum
5X = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -2
Answer:
f(x-3)= x^2 -11x +24
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find an equivalent expression for f(x-3)
To do this, we can simply substitute every 'x' variable in f(x) by 'x-3'
Therefore f(x-3)= (x-3)^2 -5*(x-3)
Lets re arrange the expression by grouping terms.
f(x-3)=x^2 - 6x +9 -5x + 15
f(x-3)= x^2 -11x +24
Answer:
1) n= 20.5
2) t= -17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) -4n + 20 = -62
-4n = -82
n = 20.5
2) -3t = 17
t = -17/3
