Find the value of p for which x = -2, y = -1 is a solution of linear equation 5x + 2py = 2p.

1 answer:

8 0

I think p=4
How I solved it:
5(-2)+2p+2(-1)=2p
-10+2p+-2=2p So cross out last
-2p -2p 2p:)
= -10+2p+-2
+10 +10 Cross out the 10
= 2p=8
= divide both sides by 2p
= 2p/2= 8/2
= cross out the 2.
= which leaves
= p=4 we get 4 because we divide 8 to 2:)

I don’t know if I’m right but yea...

Twice the sum of a number and 3 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3

lana66690 [7]

Twice the sum of a number and 3 = 2(n + 3)
three times the difference of the number and 3 = 3(n - 3)
so
Twice the sum of a number and 3 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3:
2(n + 3) = 3(n - 3)
2n + 6 = 3n - 9
n = 15

answer
2(n + 3) = 3(n - 3)
n = 15

The table of values represents an exponential function f(x).

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

-3.98 (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) over the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by:

$\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Given interval: -2 ≤ x ≤ 2

$\implies a = -2$

$\implies b = 2$

$\implies f(a) = f(-2)=16$

$\implies f(b) =f(2)= \dfrac{1}{16}$

Substituting the values into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{rate of change} & =\dfrac{\frac{1}{16}-16}{2-(-2)}\\\\ & = \dfrac{-\frac{255}{16}}{4}\\\\ & = -\dfrac{255}{64}\\\\ & = -3.98\: \sf (nearest\:hundredth)\end{aligned}$
