500=100(x-1) Someone tell me step by step

1 answer:

5 0

First, distribute the 100 to the (x-1) portion:
500 = 100x - 100

then, add 100 to both sides of your equation to get “x” alone on the right side:
500 + 100 = 100x - 100 + 100
600 = 100x

next, divide 100x by 100 and 600 by 100 to isolate a singular “x”:
600/100 = 100x/100
6 = x

therefore, x=6 is your solution

Is this a linear function? One person sends an email to 2 people. Those 2 people send it to 4 people, and those 4 send it to 8 p

Yes; this is a linear function because you plug in a number and multiply it by two, so the function would be y=2x, which is linear despite the fact that it lacks a b value.

Hope this helps! :)
