Answer 1

Answer: 3x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

The person is blind. They did what they were supposed to except the fact that they didn't multiply the 8 by the -1.

Answer 2

Answer: The error is in step 3

Explanation:

In step 2, they multiplied both sides by 8 to clear out the fractions. In step 3, they forgot to distribute the 8 to each term inside the parenthesis.

This is what the steps should look like

[tex]\frac{3\text{x}}{8}-1=\frac{5}{8}\\\\\\8\left(\frac{3\text{x}}{8}-1\right)=8\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)\\\\\\3\text{x}-8 = 5\\\\\\3\text{x} = 13\\\\\\\text{x} = \frac{13}{3}\\\\\\[/tex]

In step 4, we added 8 to both sides. Afterward, divide both sides by 3 to fully isolate x.

The improper fraction 13/3 is the same as the mixed number 4 & 1/3.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that is parallel to y= 2/5x-2 and passes through the point (-20,-7). Show your work (PLEASE ANSWER ASAP)

Answers

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal

so the slope would be 2/5

if y = -7, x = -20, m = 2/5

slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

-7 = 2/5(-20) + b

-7 = -8 + b

b = 1

then y = 2/5x + 1

0.5(7d+4)=7−1.5d ..............................

Answers

Answer:

d=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's simplify the first equation, 0.5(7d+4) by applying the distributive property

0.5(7d+4)

(0.5 x 7d) + (0.5 x 4)

3.5d+2


Now let's move all terms containing d to the left side of the equation
So add 1.5d to the left

3.5d+2 = 7-1.5d

3.5d+2+1.5d=7

5d+2=7

Move all terms not containing d to the right side of the equation

5d+2=7

5d=7 -2

5d=5

Finally, divide each term by 5 to simplify

5d/5 = 5/5

d=1

Robert is preheating his oven before using it to bake. The initial temperature of the oven is 65° and the temperature will increase at a rate of 25° per minute after being turned on. What is the temperature of the oven 10 minutes after being turned on? What is the temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on?

Answers

The temperature of the oven 10 minutes after being turned on will be 315°.

The temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on will be 65 + 25t

How to compute the value?

The temperature of the oven 10 minutes after being turned on will be:

= 65 + (25 × t)

where t = number of minute

= 65 + (25t)

= 65 + 25(10)

= 65 + 250

= 315°

The temperature of the oven 10 minutes after being turned on will be 315°.

The temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on will be:

= 65 + (25 × t)

= 65 + 25t

How do i solve these types of problems?

Answers

Answer:  49   &  82

Step-by-step explanation:

*the total degrees for each triangle is 180 degrees

9)  Start with the triangle furthest left- subtract 71 and 57 both from 180.  That leaves you with 52 degrees for that third angle.  The angles that all make a straight line or straight angle add up to 180 degrees as well.  Now, subtract the 52 and 65 from 180, which leaves you with 63 degrees for the first angle in the second triangle.  Now subtract the 63 and 68 from 180, which leaves you with 49 degrees for that answer.

10)  For this one, you will start with the triangle further right, since it already has two angles shown.  Subtract the 85 and 35 from 180, which gives you 60 degrees for that third angle.  Then, you can use the vertical angles to fill in its opposite angle in the first triangle (vertical angles are equal).  This means that the first triangle has angles of 38 and 60 degrees, so subtract those both from 180, giving you 82 degrees for that answer.

Yesterday, between noon and midnight, the temperature dropped by 28.4°F. If the temperature was -1.9°F at midnight, what was it at noon?

Answers

Answer:

n= 26.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

You need some sort of formula for this question. But you more or less have to invent it.

Formula

Temperature midnight = noon - temperature drop

Givens

temperature drop = 28.4

temperature midnight = -1.9

Temperature noon = x

Solution

-1.9 = x - 28.4                       Add 28.4 to both sides

-1.9 + 28.4 = x-28.4+28.4    Combine

Triangle 1: 5,x-4,x-5

Triangle 2: 10,16,x-10

Answers

The equation is 5 + x - 4 + x - 5 = 10 + 16 + x - 10 and on solving the value of x is 20

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by the summation of all the sides of a triangle

It is given that both the triangles have the same perimeter, so summation of all the sides of one triangle is equal to summation of all the sides of another triangle

Therefore the equation can be 5 + x - 4 + x - 5 = 10 + 16 + x - 10

Further solving the equation to calculate the unknown variable x

5 + x - 4 + x - 5 = 10 + 16 + x - 10

2x - 4 = x + 16

2x - x = 16 + 4

x = 20

The ēquation is 5 + x - 4 + x - 5 = 10 + 16 + x - 10 and on solving the value of x is 2

Anika spent $38 on 9.5 gallons of fruit punch. What is the cost per gallon? p= w= %=​

Answers

The required cost of the punch is $4 per gallon.

Given that,
Anika spent $38 on 9.5 gallons of fruit punch.
To determine what is the cost per gallon.

What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the proportion of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

Here,
Total volume purchased = 9.5 gallons
Total cost = $38
Now,
The ratio of the total cost of punch to the volume of fruit punch purchases the total cost will give as the cost per gallon. So,
cost per gallon = 38 / 9.5
                      = $4 per gallon

Thus, the required cost of the punch is $4 per gallon.

a line passes through the points (4, 13) and (2, 5). What is it’s equation in slope intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y = 4 x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with the properties:

point: p_1 = (4, 13)

point: p_2 = (2, 5)

The slope of the line through points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1):

m = (5 - 13)/(2 - 4) = (-8)/(-2) = 4

Substitute the slope m = 4 and point (x_1, y_1) = (4, 13) into the point-slope equation y - y_1 = m (x - x_1):

y - 13 = 4 (x - 4)

Add 13 to both sides:

y = 13 + 4 (x - 4)

In a recent year, 17.3% of all registered doctors were female. If there were 41,000 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number. PLEASE HELP DUE IN 30 MINUTES!!!

Answers

The total number of registered doctors are estimated as 236,995.

What is meant by percentage?

A percentage is a relative value that represents the hundredth part of any quantity. One percent (symbolized 1%) is one hundredth part; thus, 100 percent signifies the entire amount and 200 percent specifies twice this same given amount.

The concept of cumulative percentage (percentile) is widely used in statistics. For example, a student who achieves the 83rd percentile on an investigation has outperformed 83 percent of the students with and who a comparison is made. The likelihood of an event occurring can be expressed as a percentage. (or fraction).

Now, as per the given question;

It says, from all the registered doctors 17.3% is female doctors.

Now, let use assume that the total number of registered doctors be 'x'.

Then, 17.3% of this x will give 41,000 female doctors.

So, the equation will form as;

17.3% of x = 41,000

Or, (17.3×x)/100 = 41,000

x = (41,000×100)/17.3

x = 236,994.21

x = 236995 (nearest whole number)

Therefore, the total number of the registered doctors are estimated as 236995.

one diagonal of a rhombus has endpoints (-10, 1) and (2, 9). what are the endpoints of the other diagonal?

Answers

The endpoints of the other diagonal are (-2, 2) and (-6, 8).

Distance formula, Algebraic expression that gives the distances between pairs of points in terms of their coordinates (see coordinate system). In two- and three-dimensional Euclidean space, the distance formulas for points in rectangular coordinates are based on the Pythagorean theorem.

Given we have a rhombus with endpoints (-10, 1) and (2, 9)

So as we already know, a rhombus is a parallelogram whose sides are equal, so the distance from say (-10, 1) to either endpoint of the other diagonal must be the same.

Distance between 2 points [tex]$\mathrm{d}=\sqrt{[-2-(-10)]^2+[2-1]^2} \Longrightarrow d=\sqrt{(-2+10)^2+(2-1)^2}$$\mathbf{d}=\sqrt{\mathbf{6 4 + 1}} \Longrightarrow d=\sqrt{65}$[/tex]

While solving with other coordinate we get [tex]$\mathbf{d}=\sqrt{(-6+10)^2+(8-1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]$\mathrm{d}=\sqrt{16+49}\\\Longrightarrow d=\sqrt{65}$[/tex]

So therefore the endpoints of the other diagonal are (-2, 2) and (-6, 8) .

The linear equation y= mx + b contains the point (-4, 3) and is perpendicular to the line 5x + 20y = 9. What is the value of m? What is the value of b?

Answers

The value of m and b of the linear equation are 4 and 19 respectively

How to represent linear equation?

The linear equation is represented as y = mx + b, contains the point (-4, 3) and is perpendicular to the line 5x + 20y = 9

Linear equation can be represented as follows:

In slope intercept form,

y = mx + b

where

m = slope or gradientb = y-intercept

Therefore, the linear equation y = mx + b contains the point (-4, 3) and is perpendicular to the line 5x + 20y = 9.

Perpendicular lines follows the following rules:

m₁ m₂ = -1

Therefore, let's find the slope of the second equation and use it to find the slope of the linear equation that passes through (-4, 3).

5x + 20y = 9

20y = -5x + 9

y = -1 / 4 x + 9 / 20

Hence,

- 1 / 4 m₂ = - 1

m₂ = 4

Therefore, let's find the equation since we have gotten the slope.

y = 4x + b

It's passing through (-4, 3)

3 = 4(-4) + b

3 = -16 + b

b = 3 + 16

b = 19

Therefore, the value of m and b of the linear equation are 4 and 19 respectively
