Solve for x. Remove the fractions first. 3/5(x-5)=-2/3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 35/9 or 3 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

removing the fractions implies using the distributive property, which is multiplying each term outside the parentheses by each term inside

in this problem, after distributing 3/5 we get:

3/5x - 3 = -2/3

we want to isolate the 'x' so we undo subtraction first by adding 3 to each side to get:

3/5x = 9/3 - 2/3

3/5 x = 7/3

x = 7/3 × 5/3

x = 35/9

3/5x = 7/3

we can get the 'x' by itself if we multiply each side by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3 to get:

x = 7/3 × 5/3

x = 35/3

Andrea drove 20 1/2 miles in 1/3 of an hour at constant speed what was that speed

Answers

Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

123423

The constant speed for the given distance and time is 123/2 miles/hour.

Given that, Andrea drove [tex]20\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles in 1/3 of an hour at constant speed.

What is the speed?

The speed formula can be defined as the rate at which an object covers some distance. Speed can be measured as the distance travelled by a body in a given period of time. The SI unit of speed is m/s.

Here, [tex]20\frac{1}{2} = \frac{41}{2}[/tex]

Now, speed = Distance ÷ Time

= 41/2 ÷ 1/3

Change division to multiplication and reciprocal the fraction

That is, 41/2 × 3/1

= 123/2 miles/hour

Therefore, the constant speed for the given distance and time is 123/2 miles/hour.

Two numbers have a sum of 32. One number is 6 more than the other. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer: 13 & 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bigger number be 'U' and the smaller number 't'.

Since the two numbers have a sum of 32, then   U + t = 32.

& since one number is 6 more than the other, the U - 6 = t

⇒ U + U - 6 = 32

             2U = 38

                U = 19

By substituting fot the value of U we found,

19 - 6 = t

      t  = 13

∴ the numbers are 13 & 19.

Answer:

13 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

let's first set the two mystery numbers as "x"

and we know that x + (x + 6) = 32 since one of the numbers is 6 more than the other.

now let's set it up:

x + x + 6 = 32

= 2x = 26

= x = 13

so we know that x = 13 now we need to find the other number so we do:

13 + 6 = 19

now to check our work:

13 + 19 = 32

hope that helped :))

2. T

3. T

4. F

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The tempature must be 0 degrees celcus or 32 degrees fahrenheit or below to snow.

2. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees

3. Supplementary angles are 2 angles that add up to 180.

4. Complementary angles are any 2 angles that add up to 90 degrees BUT they do not have to be only 45 degrees and can be any 2 degrees that add up to 90.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding out how to find the Domain of this function. Help please!

Answers

In general, the domain is the set of all x-values for the graph.  

The issue here is that this isn't the graph of a function.  A function has at most one y-value for each x-value and this graph has an infinite number of y-values for the single x-value of 1.

So, either your teacher is wanting you to say the domain is {1}, because that's the only x-value used by the graph, or they're wanting you to say this is a trick question, because this isn't the graph of a function.

The range is the set of all y-values, which is -9<y<9, but again, do they intend this to be a trick question?

Answers

The parameters of a linear function are the slope, and the intercepts.

3.5 represents the price per game4 represents the shoe rental charge

A linear function is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = mx + b}[/tex]

Where:

m represents the slope or the rates

b represents the y intercept or the initial value of the function.

So, by comparison:

[tex]\mathbf{m = 3.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{b = 4}[/tex]

So, we have:

The price per game is 3.5 (i.e. the slope), and the shoe rental charge is 3.5 (i.e. the y-intercept)

Answer:  C) 1

Work Shown:

4x - 8 = -4

4x = -4+8

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1

To check the answer, we replace x with 1 in the original equation. After simplifying, we should get the same thing on both sides

4x - 8 = -4

4(1) - 8 = -4

4 - 8 = -4

-4 = -4

The answer is confirmed.

Solve to find X. 1/5(x - 2) = 1/10 (x + 6)

Answers

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute:

[tex]\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{2}{5} =\frac{1}{10} x+\frac{6}{10}[/tex]

Next, subtract [tex]\frac{1}{5}x[/tex] from both sides:

[tex]-\frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{10} x -\frac{1}{5} x+\frac{6}{10}[/tex]

(multiply [tex]\frac{1}{5}x[/tex] by 2 to get common denominator, [tex]\frac{2}{10} x[/tex] )

[tex]-\frac{2}{5} =-\frac{1}{10}x +\frac{6}{10}[/tex]

Next, subtract [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex] from both sides:

[tex]-\frac{2}{5} -\frac{6}{10} =-\frac{1}{10} x[/tex]

(multiply [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] by 2 to get common denominator, [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex] )

[tex]-\frac{10}{10} =-\frac{1}{10} x[/tex] ⇒ [tex]-1=-\frac{1}{10} x[/tex]

Next, multiply both sides by 10:

[tex]-10=-x[/tex]

FInally, divide both sides by -1:

x = 10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5(x-2) =1/10(x+6)
