Hi!
The equation looks like this:
P = N * 12, where P represents the total number of pencils and N is number of packs
Hope this helps!
Answer is: a= -4

:
a 3 1
(————————————————— + —————) - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a - 3 a + 3
Equation at the end of step
4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
1/5 and 3/5
Hope this helps!
The slope f'(x) = [f(4) - f(2)]/(4-2)≥3,
so [f(4) - 13]/2 ≥3
f(4) -13 ≥ 6
f(4)≥19, so it can be as small as 19.
Answer:
input x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A is modelled as y = 5x - 4
B is modelled as y = 3x + 8
We require output of A three times the output of B , then
5x - 4 = 3(3x + 8) ← distribute
5x - 4 = 9x + 24 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
- 4x - 4 = 24 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 4x = 28 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = - 7 ← input
