The Tenths place because it's the first
Answer:
A. a quadratic function can only have one y-intercep
Well, let's look at the answer choices.
A) If you want to fond the total cost of two sweaters you would add, not divide. So this isn't it.
B) To find out how much older someone is you would subtract. So this isn't it either.
C) To find out how many desks are needed you would multiply, since you know you need 3 rows of desks with 7 students each (3 x 7). Again, not it.
D) To find out how many pencils each student would get, you'd divide. You would divide 56 by 9. So your answer is D.
Simplifying
5(7x + -3) = 230
Reorder the terms:
5(-3 + 7x) = 230
(-3 * 5 + 7x * 5) = 230
(-15 + 35x) = 230
Solving
-15 + 35x = 230
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 35x = 230 + 15
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 35x = 230 + 15
35x = 230 + 15
Combine like terms: 230 + 15 = 245
35x = 245
Divide each side by '35'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
