A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s

The equation given is –2x – 4 + 5x = 8, and the task is to find the value of x. To start, combine like terms and reorganize the equation:

-2x + 5x = 8 + 4
Next, simplify both sides:

3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x = 4.
Therefore, the solution for x is 4.

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is incomplete; please refer to the attached document for the full details.

In the attached graph,

The parent function is defined as an absolute value function,

f(x) = |x|

When this graph is moved four units to the left, the translation rule becomes,

f(x) → f(x + 4)

Consequently, the new function following this translation is,

g(x) = f(x + 4) = |x + 4|

Now, with the graph shifted down by two units, the translated function becomes,

h(x) = g(x) - 2

h(x) = |x + 4| - 2

When reformulated as an equation, the graph can be represented by

⇒ y = |x + 4| - 2

Thus, Option (B) is the correct answer.

For values around 22-23, formulate a function and use these to determine the precise

Let X be the amount of 90% alloy and Y be the amount of 70% alloy. The equations are: x + y = 60  0.9x + 0.7y = 0.85 * 60 By substituting, we have: 0.9x + 0.7(60 - x) = 0.85 * 60 This simplifies to: (0.9 - 0.7)x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60 Solving for x yields: x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60/(0.9 - 0.7) x = 45 ounces For Y, we find: y = 60 - 45 y = 15 ounces

The equivalent ratio is 3/4.
