2x - 5 = 9 Step 1: 2x - 5 = 9
+5 +5

2x = 14, - 5x and 5x will canceled out because it is equal to 0

Step 2: 2x = 14, Multiply both sides by 2

2x (2) = 12 (2)
x = 24
Step 3: Final x = 24

Which of the following pairs of functions are inverses of each other? o a. f(x)=x72+8 and 96-9 = 7/x+2) =8 o b. f(x)= 6(x - 2)+3 and g(x) - *#2-3 o c. $4) = 5(2)-3 and 90- 4*: 73 o d. f(x) = 6)-12 and 910 – +12

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
