It is necessary when you are getting into multiplying from the outside of parenthesis and multiplying variables inside of parenthesis.
ex: 5(3 + 3x)
5 * 3 = 15
5 * 3x = 15x
so final set up would be 15 + 15x
We can get rid of the parentheses so it looks like this:
3x + 24x + 8.
Simplify:
27x + 8
The formula is y=0.5m+20
You start (0,20) then for each mile you increase by 0.5.
Or
Since the x axis is by two, then every two miles you increase by 1 mile. So (0,20); (2,21); (4,22); (6,23); (8,24).
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
f(x) = 4x + 6
f(x) = 54
Step 2: Substitute variables
54 = 4x + 6
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Subtract 6 on both sides:</u> 48 = 4x
<u>Divide both sides by 4:</u> 12 = x
Step 4: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it is a solution.</em>
f(12) = 4(12) + 6
f(12) = 48 + 6
f(12) = 54
Answer:
A) -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that for a slope, the slope of the line is found by using the equation:
slope = (rise/run).
In this case, find two points. For example, i will use:
(0, 2) & (5, 0). (x = 0, y = 2) ; (x = 5, y = 0)
Note that "rise" = y, and "run" = x. Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding points.
(2 - 0)/(0 - 5) = slope
Simplify
(2)/(-5) = slope
-(2/5) is your answer.
Note that it does not matter where the negative sign is placed.
