Answer: Here is the answer hope that helps ( Thanks for the points) (Btw my teacher helped me with it)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
b(x) = 18 + -0.5x
Multiply b * x
bx = 18 + -0.5x
Solving
bx = 18 + -0.5x
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by 'x'.
b = 18x-1 + -0.5
Simplifying
b = 18x-1 + -0.5
Reorder the terms:
b = -0.5 + 18x-1
Answer:
19, 18, 15.5
Step-by-step explanation:
given :
b(x)=18-0.5x
when x = -2,
b (-2) = 18 - 0.5 (-2) = 18 +1 = 19 (answer)
When x = 0,
b(0) = 18 - 0.5 (0) = 18 - 0 = 18 (answer)
when x = 5,
b(5) = 18 - 0.5(5) = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 (answer)
