◇ ✖ Cross multiplication ❌

________

Hope it helps ⚜

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is [{(2-2x)/4} = {(4x+12)/3]

On applying cross multiplication then

Since, (a/b) = (c/d)

⇛ab = bc

Where, a = (2-2x), b = (4), c = (4x+12) and d = (3).

Now,

⇛3(2-2x) = 4(4x+12)

Multiply the number outside the bracket with numbers and variables in the bracket.

⇛6 - 6x = 16x + 48

Shift the variable value on LHS and constant on RHS.

⇛-6x - 16x = 48-6

Subtract the values on LHS and RHS.

⇛-22x = 42

Shift the value (-22) from LHS to RHS.

⇛x = 42/-22

Write the obtained answer in lowest form by cancelling method.

⇛x = (42÷2)/(-22÷2)

Therefore, x = 21/-11 = -(21/11)

Answer: Hence the value of x for the given problem is -21/11.

VERIFICATION:

If x = -21/11 then the equation is

[{(2-2x)/4} = {(4x+12)/3]

Substitute the value x = -21/11 in expression, then

⇛[{2-2(-21/11)}/4 = {4(-21/11)+12}/3]

Multiply (-2) from (-21) to get 42 on LHS.

⇛[{2(42/11)}/4 = {4(-21/11)+12}/3]

Again multiply 4 from (-21) to get 81 on RHS.

⇛[{2(42/11)}/4 = {(-81/11) + 12}/3]

Take the LCM of the denominator 1 and 11 is 11 on LHS

⇛[{(2*11 + 42*1)/11}/4 = {(-81*1 + 12*11)/11}/3]

Multiply the numerator on both LHS and RHS.

⇛[{(22+42)/11}/4 = {(-81 + 132)/11}/3]

Add the numerator numbers on both LHS and RHS

⇛[{(64/11)}/4 = [{(48/11)}/3]

Now, conver the division fraction in multiply fraction on both LHS and RHS.

⇛[{(64/11) * 4} = {(48/11) * 3}]

Now, write the numbers in Lower form by cancelling method, on both LHS and RHS.

⇛(16/11) = (16/11)

LHS = RHS

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand this right, then you need paint and additional supplies.

but I don't see any information indicating how many gallons of paint I will need.

so, I can go only with the 1 gallon specified.

so,

1×30 + 60 = $90

we can save $45 per month.

then we need

90 / 45 = 2

months to have enough money.

please update the numbers to how many gallons you really need, and then take that result and divide it by the 45 savings per month.

The Cardinality of this set {7,8,9} is n(P) = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because:

n(P) = {{}, {7}, {8}, {9}, {7, 8}, {8, 9}, {7, 9}, {7, 8, 9}}

Hence by the formula 2^k.

where, k = number of elements in the set.

The cardinality is 8.

Find the values of x using proportions:

or

500 children ages 5-11 were asked the following question:

"Do you read books for fun every day?"

Results are shown in the two-way table below.

             Boy    Girl     Total

Yes         48      75       123

No          182     195     377

Total      230    270     500

A proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

There are 500 children and 230 are boys.

230/500 = 0.46

There are 230 boys and 48 read books for fun every day.

48/230 = 0.21

There are 270 girls and 75 read books for fun every day.

75/270 = 0.28

Based on the results from b and c, it would seem more likely for a girl to read books for fun than for a boy.

There are 500 children and 123 read books for fun.

P = 123/500 = 0.25

There are 500 children and 75 are girls who read books for fun.

P = 75/500 = 0.15

There are 500 children. The favorable cases are the girls (270) plus the children who read books for fun (123) minus the girls who read books for fun (75).

P = (270 + 123 - 75)/500 = 0.64

There are 270 girls and 75 of them read books for fun.

P = 75/270 = 0.28

The dog is twice as old as the cat

The monkey is twice as old as the dog.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Their total age is 4 years 2 months.

1 year has 12 months

=> 4 years have (4 × 12)

= 48 months

Since, the total age is 4 years 2 months, we can express it in "months" by adding "48" and "2".

= 50 months

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sum of their ages = 50 months

=> x + 2x + 4x = 50

=> 7x = 50

=>x = 50/ 7 months

If we write this in mixed fractions the whole number will represent the number of years.

=

[tex] \mathsf{7 \frac{1}{7} \: \: months}[/tex]

[tex] = \mathsf{7 \: years \: \frac{1}{7} \: \: months}[/tex]

The value of 1/ 7 is really small,I.e., 0.1428...

So, we can ignore the fraction while rounding off the term that makes it

[tex] \mathsf{x = 7yrs.(approx.)}[/tex]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

x is the age of the cat.

The monkey's age is "4x"

= 4 × 7

= 28 years.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So, the monkey's age is approximately 28 years

Mathematically speaking, a composition between two functions is defined by the following operation:

[tex]f\,\circ\,g\,(x) =f(g(x))[/tex] (1)

By Chain Rule we get the first and second derivatives of the composition:

First derivative
