Answers

x = 6

Step-by-step Explanation:

(Original problem) 3(2x+8)=60

Multiply 3 to 2x and 8: 6x+24=60

Subtract 24 on both sides of the equation: 6x+24=60
-24 -24
6x=36

Divide both sides by 6: 6x/6 = 36/6

Final result: x = 6

Answer:

x=4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+8)=60x

6x+24=60x

6x+24-24=60x-24 -60x

-54x=-24

-54x= -24

If 4 is a root of the quadratic equation
x² - bx - 22 = 0
a. Find the value of b
b. Find the other root​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-bx-22=0

put x=4

4²-4b-22=0

16-4b-22=0

-4b-6=0

2b+3=0

b=-3/2

x²-3/2x-22=0

2x²-3x-44=0

2x²-11x+8x-44=0

x(2x-11)-4(2x-11)=0

(2x-11)(x-4)

roots are 11/2,4

The required value of the b  is -3/2, and another root of the given equation is  -11/2.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
Given expression,
x² - bx - 22 = 0

As we know 4 is the root of the equation,
put 4 in the given expression,
(4)² -b(4) -22 = 0
16 -4b -22 = 0
b = -3/2

x² + 3/2x - 22 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 3/2) = 0

root are,
x = 4 and -11/2

Thus, the required value of the b  is -3/2, and another root of the given equation is  -11/2.

Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the
common difference / ratio in simplest form.
4, 20, 100

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₂ - a₁ = 20 - 4 = 16

a₃ - a₂ = 100 - 16 = 84

Since a₂ - a₁ ≠ a₃ - a₂, the sequence is not arithmetic.

a₂/a₁ = 20/4 = 5

a₃/a₂ = 100/20 = 5

Since a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = 5, the sequence is geometric with a common ratio of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum for a probability is 1.

We know that a coin has only 2 sides, either head or tail.

The probability of getting a tail is 0.43 (given).

So, the probability of getting a head is = 1.00 - 0.43 = 0.57.

Less than: 1/2inch,

Equal to: 1/2inch

Greater than: 1/2inch

Answer:

Less than: 1/2inch---> 1/8 in

Equal to: 1/2inch ---> 8/16 in

Greater than: 1/2inch ---> 5/8in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sizes: 1/8in, 5/8in, 8/16in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

Required

Match the size with the correct inequalities

Convert 1/2in to decimal

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\ in = 0.5\ in[/tex]

Next, we convert each size to decimal and compare the decimal equivalent to 0.5in

Convert 1/8in to decimal

[tex]\frac{1}{8}\ in = 0.125\ in[/tex]

0.125 is less than 0.5in

Convert 5/8in to decimal

[tex]\frac{5}{8}\ in = 0.625\ in[/tex]

0.625 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 8/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{8}{16}\ in = 0.5\ in[/tex]

0.5 is equal to 0.5in

Convert 9/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{9}{16}\ in = 0.5625\ in[/tex]

0.5625 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 15/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{15}{16}\ in = 0.9375\ in[/tex]

0.9375 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 5/6in to decimal

[tex]\frac{5}{6}\ in = 0.833\ in[/tex]

0.833 is greater than 0.5in

So, we have:

Less than: 1/2inch---> 1/8 in

Equal to: 1/2inch ---> 8/16 in

Greater than: 1/2inch ---> 5/8in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

From a train station, one train heads north, and another heads east. Some time later, the northbound train has traveled 27 kilometers, and the eastbound train has traveled 36 kilometers. How far apart are the two trains, measured in a straight line?

Answers


Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles
Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where ^ stands for raised to power.
Let
a stand for the train going towards North and
b stands for the train going towards east.
X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.
By Pythagoras rule
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
20^2 = 16^2 + b^2
400 = 256 + b^2 so that
b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144
b = √144
b = 12 miles.

If 2d + 10 = 50, what does d equal?

Answers

Answer:

d = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

2d + 10 = 50 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

2d = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = 20

Answer:d=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides.

2d+10−10=50−10

2d=40

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2/d=40/2

d=20
