Solve for x: -2x - 5 = 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=−20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by Step Solution:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    x/5-(-4)=0

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

           x

Simplify   —

           5

Equation at the end of step

1

:

 x    

 — -  -4  = 0

 5    

STEP

2

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

         -4     -4 • 5

   -4 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        5  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x - (-4 • 5)     x + 20

————————————  =  ——————

     5             5  

Equation at the end of step

2

:

 x + 20

 ——————  = 0

   5  

STEP

3

:

When a fraction equals zero

3.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 x+20

 ———— • 5 = 0 • 5

  5  

Now, on the left hand side, the  5  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  x+20  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.2      Solve  :    x+20 = 0

Subtract  20  from both sides of the equation :

                     x = -20

One solution was found :

x = -20

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-4.5 or -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to isolate x to do this you add 5 to both sides which then gives you -2x=9 the next step is to divide by negative 2 which would give you -9/2 which simplifies to -4.5.

Solve. Use the discount equation
S = R − rR, where S is the sale price, R is the regular price, and r is the discount rate.

An exercise bike is on sale for $320, having been marked down 20% off the regular price. Find the regular price.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\$ 400[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, [tex]S[/tex] (sales price) and [tex]r[/tex] (discount rate) are both given. The unknown is the regular price, [tex]R[/tex].

Rearrange the discount equation to solve for [tex]R[/tex] in terms of [tex]S[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex].

[tex]S = R - r\, R[/tex].

[tex]S = (1 - r)\, R[/tex].

Divide both sides by [tex](1 - r)[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{S}{1 - r} = \frac{(1 - r)\, R}{1 - r}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}R &= \frac{S}{1 - r}\end{aligned}[/tex].

It is given that [tex]S = 320[/tex]. A mark-down of [tex]20\%[/tex] is equivalent to a discount rate of [tex]r = 20 / 100 = 0.20[/tex]. Substitute in [tex]S[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex] to find the value of [tex]R[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}R &= \frac{S}{1 - r} \\ &= \frac{320}{1 - 0.2} \\ &= \frac{320}{0.8} \\ &= 400\end{aligned}[/tex].

Thus, the regular price would be [tex]\$ 400[/tex].

A circle with the center C (4, -2) contains the point D (8,1). What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the radius of the circle passing through point C?

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x/3 + 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the slope of CD and get (-2 - 1)/(4 - 8) = -3/-4 = 3/4

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the line it's perpendicular to, so we get a slope of -4/3.

We can use point-slope form and get (using point C):

y - (-2) = (-4/3)(x - 4) -->

y + 2 = -4x/3 + 16/3 -->

y = -4x/3 + 10/3

The temperature of a cup of coffee varies according to Newton's Law of Cooling: dT dt equals negative k times the quantity T minus A, where T is the temperature of the coffee, A is the room temperature, and k is a positive constant. If the coffee cools from 100°C to 90°C in 1 minute at a room temperature of 25°C, find the temperature, to the nearest degree Celsius of the coffee after 4 minutes.

74
67
60
42

Answers

Answer:

  (b)  67

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution to the differential equation describing the temperature according to Newton's Law of Cooling could be written as ...

  T = (final temp) + (initial difference)×(decay factor)^t

where the decay factor is the fraction of change during 1 unit of time period t.

__

Here, the initial difference of 100-25 = 75 degrees decays to 90-25 = 65 degrees in 1 minute. So, the units of t are minutes, the decay factor is 65/75, the initial difference is 75 degrees, and the final temperature is 25 degrees. That lets us write the equation as ...

  T = 25 +75(65/75)^t

Then for t=4, the temperature is ...

  T = 25 +75(13/15)^4 ≈ 67.3 . . . . degrees

After 4 minutes the temperature of the coffee is about 67 degrees.

The mass of the apples harvested from a particular orchard follows a nearly normal distribution with a mean of 94 grams and a standard deviation of 27 grams. What size sample is needed to get a standard error of 3

Answers

The sample size needed to get a standard error of 3 is 81

How to determine the sample size?

The given parameters are:

Mean = 94Standard deviation = 27Standard error = 3

The standard error is calculated using:

[tex]SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]3= \frac{27}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]1= \frac{9}{\sqrt n}[/tex]

Square both sides

1 = 81/n

Multiply both sides by n

n = 81

Hence, the sample size needed to get a standard error of 3 is 81

the slope makes a 30-degree w/ the horizon, then we can draw it out by making a right triangle out of it

so draw the tree on the slope, then you'll get a 60 and 120 degree
it'd be easier if you visualize this problem
hope it helps! I know I sound confusing

The measure of the smallest angle of a tree with a hill is 60°.

The measure of the greatest angle of a tree with a hill is 120°.

Given:

A tree on a 30° slope grows straight up.

To find:

The measures of the

greatest and smallest angles the tree makes with the hill.

Solution:

In figure drawn:

[tex]\angle PQR = 30^o[/tex]

AB= Straight three

Construction:

Draw a parallel line CA to QR through point A.

Now,

[tex]\angle PQR = \angle PAC = 30^o\\\\\angle PAC +\angle PAB = 90^o \text{(Complimentary angles)}\\\\\angle PAB = 90^o -\angle PAC\\\\angle PAB=90^o-30^o=60^o[/tex]

The measure of the smallest angle of a tree with a hill is 60°.

[tex]\angle PAB + \angle BAQ= 180^o\text{(Supplementary angles)}\\\\ \angle BAQ= 180^o-\angle PAB \\\\ \angle BAQ=180^o-60^o=120^oC[/tex]

The measure of the greatest angle of a tree with a hill is 120°.

solve the equation for x 5x squared - 4x = 6

Answers

okay so i’m pretty sure you asking to solve for x: 5x^2 -4x = 6. so first you want to move all parts of the problem to one side of the equation, so you’ll subtract both sides by 6. this gives you 5x^2 - 4x - 6 = 0. because this equation is quadratic, you know need to factor it out. (5x + 3)(x - 2). by using the quadratic formula, you find the (most precise) answer to be x = 2/5 +/- (the square root of 136)/10. this can be simplified further but it is not longer precise. hope this helps!

Area of rectangle is 30√3570Length of the rectangle is 3250

Area of rectangle is given by:

[tex] \implies\quad{\pmb{ \sf{Area = length\times width}} }[/tex]

Hence, putting the values in the formula:

[tex] \implies\quad \sf{ A = l\times w}[/tex]

[tex] \implies\quad \sf{ 30\sqrt{3750}=3\sqrt{250}\times w}[/tex]

[tex] \implies\quad \sf{3\sqrt{250}\times w = 30\sqrt{3750} }[/tex]

[tex] \implies\quad \sf{ w =\dfrac{30\sqrt{3750}}{3\sqrt{250}}}[/tex]

[tex] \implies\quad \sf{ w =10\dfrac{\sqrt{3750}}{\sqrt{250}}}[/tex]
