The only valid answer is adding 4.3 x to both sides of the equation. All of the other choices would not help you solve for x.

Answer:

B. Add 4.3x to both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation 3.7x-18=-4.3x-34. We are asked to choose the most efficient first step to solve for x in the equation.

To solve an expression we need to separate variables and constants on different sides of equation.

To solve our given equation we need to add 4.3x to both sides of the given equation. After adding 4.3x we will get,

3.7x+4.3x-18=-4.3x+4.3x-34

8.0x-18=-34

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Given the function f(x) = 4(x+3) − 5, solve for the inverse function when x = 3.
natulia [17]
f(x)=4(x+3)-5 \\ f(x)=4x+12-5 \\ f(x)=4x+7 \\ \\
\hbox{solve for x:} \\
y=4x+7 \\
y-7=4x \\
x=\frac{y-7}{4} \\ \\
\hbox{swap x and y:} \\
y=\frac{x-7}{4} \\ \\
f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-7}{4} \\
f^{-1}(3)=\frac{3-7}{4}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1 \\
\boxed{f^{-1}(3)=-1}

adam and his dad share the cost of a meal in the ratio of 2:3. adam's dad pays £52.20. What is the total cost of the meal?
n200080 [17]
Adam's dad paid £52.20.
This is considered three "parts" of the total cost.
Let's divide by 3 to find the size of one part.
£52.20 ÷ 3 = £17.40
Now, multiply by 5 (Adam's parts + his dad's) to get the total cost.
\boxed{\£87}

How do you solve: 21 11/12 plus 17 5/12
GarryVolchara [31]
The problem is 21  \frac{11}{12} + 17 \frac{5}{12}

Add the whole numbers

21 + 17 = 38

Match up the fractions and make sure the denominators are the same (they are)

\frac{11}{12}  +  \frac{5}{12} =  \frac{16}{12}

Break down the fraction 

16 ÷ 12 = 1 \frac{4}{12}

Reduce-You need to find a common factor for both the numerator and denominator

4 ÷ 4 = 1

12 ÷ 4 = 3

Combine everything

38 +  1\frac{1}{3} =39  \frac{1}{3}

Answer: 39  \frac{1}{3}

How do you solve the systems by substitution y=3x+1 and y=5x-3
rewona [7]
**plug in the first equation into the y of the next.

3x + 1 = 5x - 3
-1 from both sides
3x = 5x -4
-5x from both sides
-2x = -4
divide both sides by negative 2

x= 2
