Answer:
Option A, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make an equation to represent the problem</u>
(-9)(x) = 36
<u>Step 2: Solve for x by dividing both sides by -9</u>
-9x / -9 = 36 / -9
x = -4
Answer: Option A, -4
The ratio of boys to girls is
12:24
(which is already one statement)
the ratio, simplified, is
1:2
(ratio are like fractions, which is how I was able to "simplify" it)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for the value of x so that the function has the given value in the following:
1) h(x) = -7x; h(x)=63
From the function given above,
If h(x) = 63, then,
h(x) = 63 = -7x
-7x = 63
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -7, it becomes
-7x/-7 = 63/-7
x = - 9
2) m(x) = 4x + 15; m(x)=7
From the function given above,
If m(x) = 7, then,
m(x) = 7 = 4x + 15
7 = 4x + 15
4x = 15 - 7 = 8
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2
3) q(x) = 1/2x - 3; q(x) = -4
From the function given above,
If q(x) = - 4, then,
q(x) = - 4 = 1/(2x - 3) =
Cross multiplying,
-4(2x-3) = 1
-8x +12 = 1
Collecting like terms,
-8x = 1 - 12
-8x = -11
Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -8, it becomes
-8x/8 = -11/-8
x = 11/8
