Half a number increased by 10 is 12. Find the number.

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

1/2x + 10 = 12

Subtract 10 from both sides:

1/2x = 2

Divide by 1/2 from both sides:

x = 4

-Chetan K

the correct functions are

h(x) = 3x + 2  

g(x) = 2^x

step-by-step explanation:

i proceed to calculate the different values ​​of k (x)

case 1)  k(x) = g(x) ∘ h(x)

g(x) ∘ h(x)=g(h(x))

k(x) = [2]^[3x + > is the option  4. k(x) = 2^(3x + 2 )

case 2)  k(x) = g(x) + h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]+[3x + 2]=2^x+3x+> is the option  1.) k(x) = 2^x + 3x + 2

case 3)k(x) = h(x) ÷ g(x)

k(x) =  [3x + 2]/[2^x]=3x/(2^x)+2/(2^x)=3x*(2^-x)+2^(1-x)

is the option  3.)   k(x) = (3x)2^(-x) + 2^(-x + 1 )

case 4)k(x) = g(x) - h(x)

k(x) =  [2^x]-[3x + 2]=2^x-3x-> is the option  2.) k(x) = 2^x - 3x - 2 

case 5)  k(x) = g(x) × h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]*[3x + > is the option  5.) k(x) = 2^x(3x + 2)

case 6)k(x) = h(x) ∘ g(x)

h(x) ∘ g(x)=h(g(x))

k(x)=3*[2^x]+> is the option  6. k(x) = 3(2^x) +2

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
