Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equation:

-3x + 9 = -18

We want to solve for x

To do that, we need to isolate x on one side; the value of x (the answer) will be on the other side.

We can manipulate numbers in order to help us isolate x on one side.

First, let's remove 9 from the left side; subtract 9 from both sides

-3x + 9 = -18

- 9 -9

___________________

-3x = -27

Now, there are no more numbers on the left side, but we aren't done yet. The value of x is also equal to the value of 1x.

In order to find the value of 1x, we can divide both sides by -3, as if you divide any number by itself, the result is 1. x doesn't get divided (there are no other numbers or variables to divide x by when we divide -3x by -3), so the result on the left side would be 1x, or x.

Therefore, we need to divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -27/-3

x= 9

(the number is not negative because when you divide a negative by a negative, the resulting number is positive)

Hope this helps!

David, Chen, and Leslie raised money for the school in a walk-a-thon. Altogether they made $46. Leslie made $10. Chen made twice

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

David made $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Leslie made $10. This means that you take 46-10=36

Chen-Chen made twice as much as David so 36/2=18 So Chen made $9.

David- 36-18= 18 So, David made 18 dollars.

Find the are of a parallelogram that has a base of 7 1/2 and a height of 5 2/7

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

$\sf A=bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=(7\dfrac{1}{2})(5\dfrac{2}{7})$

Convert both of them into improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf A=(\dfrac{15}{2})(\dfrac{37}{7})$

Now multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf A=\dfrac{15}{2}\cdot\dfrac{37}{7}\rightarrow\dfrac{15\cdot 37}{2\cdot 7}\rightarrow\dfrac{555}{14}$

Convert it back into a mixed number. 14 goes into 555 thirty-nine times. 14 * 39 = 546. 555 - 546 = 9. So we have 39 wholes and 9 left over, or:

$\sf 39\dfrac{9}{14}$

So this is the area of the parallelogram.

5. If g(x) = 3x + 4, what is the value of g-1(g(-2))?

stepan [7]

Answer:

- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The composition of inverse functions gives x

g(x) and $g^{-1}$ (x) are inverse functions, then

$g^{-1}$ (g(x)) = x , thus

$g^{-1}$ (g(- 2)) = - 2
