Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
17. 17x + 3 x=4 18. -2x + 1 / 3 x= -5
17(4) + 3 - [(2)(-5) + 1] / 3
68 + 3 - [-10 + 1] /3
71 9/3 or 3
19. 2x - 33 x=9 20. - 9x - 2 x=7
(2)(9) - 33 -(9)(7) - 2
18 - 33 -63 - 2
- 15 -65
21. 7/3x - 9 x=3 22. - [12x/5] x= -1
(7/3)(3) - 9 - [(12)( -1)/5]
7 - 9 - [ -12/5 ]
-2 2.4
23. 11x - 11 x = -11 24. (2/9)x - (9/2) x= 9
- 121 - 11 (2/9)(9) - (9/2)
-132 2 - (9/2) ( 2 can be shown as 4/2)
(4/2) - (9/2)
- 5/2 or - 2.5
25. f(x) = 0.12x + 4.52 x = 250 26. f(x) = 0.18x + 3.12 x= 175
= (0.12)(250) + 4.52 = (0.18)(175) + 3.12
= 30 + 4.52 = 31.50 + 3.12
= 34.52 = 34.62
