how to Solve 5 |2x - 1 +20=3​

Answers

Answer 1

the correct value for x is -1.2, 2.2

Given 5 | 2x - 1 | + 20 = 3

Modulus of a  number

The modulus or absolute value, of a number, denoted |x+y| is calculated as

|x + y | =1

x + y   = ±1

We need to solve for the value of x

5 | 2x - 1 | = 3 - 20

5 | 2x - 1 | = -17

| 2x - 1 | = - 17 / 5

| 2x - 1 | = - 3.4

2x - 1 = ± (- 3.4)

2x - 1 = -3.4            2x -1 = 3.4

2x = - 3.4 + 1           2x = 3.4 + 1

2x = - 2.4                2x = 4.4

x = - 1.2                     x = 2.2

Therefore, the value for x is -1.2, 2.2

jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side. the area of the smaller lawn is 144 square feet. in the equation (x – 8)2

Answers

The dimensions of original lawn are a. 4 feet by 4 feet.

As per the equation and information mentioned in question, x represents the dimension of original lawn. The equation in question represents the relation between area of lawn at side of reduced lawn and it's area. We will solve this equation to find the value of x.

[tex](x - 8)^{2} = 144[/tex]

The expression on Left Hand Side is same as [tex](a - b)^{2}[/tex]. We know, on expansion, we write it as [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab[/tex]. Thus, new equation will be -

[tex]x^{2} + 8^{2} - 2*x*8 = 144[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} + 64 + 16x = 144[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} + 16x + 64 - 144 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} + 16x - 80 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} + 20x - 4x - 80 = 0[/tex]

x (x + 20) -4 (x + 20) = 0

(x + 20) (x - 4) = 0

So, the two values of x that we get are:

x = 4 and -20.

The dimensions of lawn can not be negative. Hence, the value of x will be x.

Therefore, the dimensions of original lawn are a. 4 feet by 4 feet.

Answers

The regions is represented as :

   A = p - p ∩ q ,  B = p ∩ q  and   C = q - p ∩ q

According to the question we have been given the Venn diagram with two regions p and q.

We need to find the representation of regions A, B and C.

As we can from the diagram,

  region A is the area where the only p statement is there which exclude the B region . That is A is area of difference.

So it can be represented as

                   A = p - p ∩ q

  region B is the intersection of p and q.

So it can be represented by

                  B = p ∩ q

region C is the area where only q statement is there and excludes the intersection region. That is C is area of difference

So it can be represented as

                  C = q - p ∩ q

Hence the regions is represented as

                  A = p - p ∩ q

                  B = p ∩ q

                  C = q - p ∩ q

Solve each system by elimination.

Answers

For the given systems of equations, we have that:

1) The infinite solutions have the following format: (3y - 12, y, 10y - 31).

2) There is one solution: (1.58, -3.45, 3.89).

3) There is one solution: (3, 2, 4).

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For item 1, the system is:

3x + y - z = -5.-4x + 2y + z = 17.-2x - 4y + z = -7.

From the first equation, we have that:

z = 3x + y + 5.

Replacing on the second equation, we have that:

-4x + 2y + 3x + y + 5 = 17

-x + 3y = 12

x = 3y - 12.

Replacing on the third equation, we have that:

-2x - 4y + 3x + y + 5 = -7

x - 3y = -12

Since x = 3y - 12:

3y - 12 - 3y = -12

0 = 0.

Free variable, hence:

x = 3y - 12.y = y.z = 3x + y + 5 = 9y - 36 + y + 5 = 10y - 31.

The infinite solutions have the following format: (3y - 12, y, 10y - 31).

For item 2, the system is:

x + 5y + 3z = -4.x + 2y - 3z = 8.-3x + 2y + 3z = -12.

From the first equation:

x = -4 - 5y - 3z.

Replacing on the second equation:

-4 - 5y - 3z + 2y - 3z = 9.

-3y -6z = 13.

3y + 6z = 13.

Replacing on the third equation:

-3(-4 - 5y - 3z) + 2y + 3z = -12

12 + 15y + 9z + 2y + 3z = -12

17y + 12z = -14.

From the second equation, we have that:

z = (13 - 3y)/6.

Hence, replacing on the third again:

17y + 2(12 - 3y) = -14

11y + 24 = -14.

y = -3.45.

z = (13 - 3 x (-3.45))/6 = 3.89.

x = -4 - 5(-3.45) - 3(3.89) = 1.58.

Hence:

There is one solution: (1.58, -3.45, 3.89).

For item 3, the system is:

-4x - 2y + 5z = 4.5x + 2y - z = 15.5x - 2y  - 3z = -1.

From the second equation:

z = 5x + 2y - 15.

Replacing on the first:

-4x - 2y + 5(5x + 2y - 15) = 4

-4x - 2y + 25x + 10y - 75 = 4

21x + 8y = 79.

Replacing on the third:

5x - 2y - 3(5x + 2y - 15) = -1

5x - 2y - 15x - 6y + 45 = -1.

-10x - 8y = -46.

Adding both resulting equations, we have that:

11x = 33.

x = 3.

Then

21x + 8y = 79.

63 + 8y = 79

8y = 16

y = 2.

z = 5x + 2y - 15 = 5(3) + 2(2) - 15 = 4.

There is one solution: (3, 2, 4).

Answers

After using distributive property we find the solution of 5 × 198 is 990.

What is Distributive property?

By the rule of distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number gives the same result as when each addend is multiplied individually by the number and the products are added together.

The expression is given as;

5 × 198

Now, By using distributive property we calculate as;

5 × 198 = 5 × ( 200 - 2 )

           = (5 × 200) - (5 × 2)

           = 1000 - 10

Find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false.
The sum of two numbers is always greater than their difference.

Answers

The statement is false, a counterexample is given by using the numbers 1 and -1.

How to find the counterexample?

Here we have the statement:

"The sum of two numbers is always greater than their difference"

So we just need to find two numbers such that the statement is false.

This is really trivial, for example, we can propose the numbers 0 and 0.

The sum gives 0 + 0 = 0

The difference is 0 - 0 = 0

The sum is not greater than the difference.

Now, I will propose a less trivial counterexample, let's use the numbers 1 and -1.

The sum gives 1 + (-1) = 1 - 1 = 0

The difference gives: 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2

The difference is larger than the sum, so we found a counterexample for the given statement.

The value of (gof)(-2) for the given values of f(x) and g(x) is 60.

A Composite function may be defined as a function which is formed from the operation of combination of two functions. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, then the composite functions of the given functions are fog(x) that is f(g(x)) and gof(x) that is g(f(x)).

It is given in the question that f(x) = -2x + 7 and g(x) = x² - 6x + 5.

Now, gof(x) = g(f(x)) = (-2x + 7)² - 6(-2x + 7) + 5

gof(x) = 4x² + 49 - 28x + 12x - 42 + 5

gof(x) = 4x² - 16x + 12

gof(-2) = 4(-2)² - 16(-2) + 12

gof(-2) = 16 + 32 + 12
