Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 5x - 8
3x - 5x = - 4 - 8
- 2x = - 12
x = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

==> add 8 to both sides

in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8

the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12

we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x

==> subtract 3x from both sides

in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x

the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x

we are left with 12 = 2x

==> divide both sides by 2

in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with

6 = x

Round #7 7) In 2018, the United States Postal Service (USPS) raised its rates for mailing letters. The new charge was $0.50 to m

Anarel [89]

We know that

• The new charge was $0.50 to mail a letter weighing up to 1 ounce, and $0.21 for each additional ounce.

Based on the given information, the expression is

$y=0.50+0.21x$

Where <em>x</em> represents additional ounces, and <em>y</em> represents a cost.

<h2>Hence, the function is</h2> $f(x)=0.21x+0.50$

If one real number is equal to a second real number, and the second real number is equal to a third real number, then the first

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: In particular, let’s focus our attention on the behavior of each graph at and around . 2 and x= -1 for x < 2. There are open circles at both endpoints (2, 1) and (-2, 1). The third is h (x) = 1 / (x-2)^2, in which the function curves asymptotically towards y=0 and x=2 in quadrants one and two."
