Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange equation by making x's on one side and numbers on the other
2x - x = 9 - 8
x = 1
Answer:
X= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies directly with x,
so y=kx
-34=k×2
k= -17
85= -17× X
X= -5
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u> then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
7.25 7.25
I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,
One possible answer is 
Another possible answer is 
There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)
So in the first example above, we would have

In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.
Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)
Your answer would be 15. You first would move the "pretend" decimal to the left 2 times. so it would end up being 0.25. So then you would set up your problem. 0.25 x 60 =. Which should give you the answer of 15.
