Answer:

  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often easiest to eliminate fractions first. Multiplying by the least common denominator (6), you have ...

  2x -1 = 3(x +1)

  2x -1 = 3x +3 . . . eliminate parentheses

  -4 = x . . . . . . . . add -2x-3 to both sides

__

<em>Check</em>

(2(-4) -1)/6 = -9/6 = (-4+1)/2 = -3/2 . . . . true

Step-by-step explanation:

First, cross multiply.

2(2x-1)=6(x+1)

Then, use distributive property and multiply

4x-2=6x+6

Then, subtract 4x from 6x and subtract 6 from -2

-8=2x

Divide

-4=x

PLEASE MAKE ANSWER CLEAR

You'll have to solve simultaneously

let nickel be x, dime be y

x + y = 35 ... ( 1 )

5x + 10 y = 250
5 ( x + 2y ) = 250
x + 2y = 50 ... ( 2 )

in ( 1 )
x = 35 - y ( 3 )

sub ( 3 ) into ( 2 )
( 35 - y ) + 2y = 50
y = 15

sub y into ( 1 )
x + y = 35
x + 15 = 35
x = 20

therefore, Sandy has 20 nickels and 15 dimes

Which function has only one x-intercept at (−6, 0)?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The only function that has only one zero at -6 is f(x) = (x + 6)(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a function:

f(x)=(x+6)(x+6)

This function is also equal to f(x)=(x+6)^2

This is the square of the binomial. It has only one zero

f(x)=(x+6)^2 = 0

If we take square root we get:

√(x+6)^2 = 0

x+6 =0

x= -6

The only function that has only one zero at -6 is f(x) = (x + 6)(x + 6)....
