Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Put it into an equation

20000 = 1250x + 15000

Subtract 15000 from both sides

5000 = 1250x

Divide both sides by 1250

4 = x

D = 5x + 10xf solve literal equation for x

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{d}{(5+10f)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

d = 5x + 10xf

We need to solve the above equation for x.

Taking x common from RHS,

d=x(5+10f)

Dividing both sides by (5+10f),

$x=\dfrac{d}{(5+10f)}$

Hence, this is the required value of x.

Given that f(x) = x2 - 5x+6, evaluate the function f(6).

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

f(6) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

$f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6$

Evaluate the function f(6).

This is $f(x)$ when $x = 6$ . So

$f(6) = 6^2 - 5(6) + 6 = 36 - 30 + 6 = 12$

f(6) = 12 is the answer.
