Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 3:                    12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6Combine like terms:       8x - 14 = -6Isolate x term:                 8x = 8Isolate x:                          x = 1

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6Multiply:                               3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6Subtract:                              3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6Multiply:                               -3 - 4 + 1 = -6Subtract:                              -7 + 1 = -6Add:                                     -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle when x= 12?
6x+4
5x
The length of the hypotenuse is about
(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse: c = 96.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sides

a = 6x+4b = 5xc = hypotenuse = ?

Given that the x = 12

so

a = 6x+4 = 6(12)+4 = 76b = 5x = 5(12) = 60

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right angled triangle with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is defined as:

[tex]c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

substituting a = 76 and b = 60

[tex]c=\sqrt{76^2+60^2}[/tex]

[tex]c=4\sqrt{586}[/tex]

[tex]c = 96.8[/tex] units

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse: c = 96.8 units

interest rates.
(a) 2%
(b) 3%
(c) 4.5%
(d) 7%

Answers

Answer:

a) $1920, b) $2880, c) $4320, d) $6720

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Interest = Principal(Rate)(time)/100

  Interest = $8000(12)(2)/100

Interest = $1,920

b) Interest = $8000(3)(12)/100

Interest = $2880

c) Interest = $8000(4.5)(12)/100

Interest = $4320

d) Interest = $8000(7)(12)/100

Interest = $6720

Identify the initial amount and the growth rate of the following:
Y = 9.8 (1.35)^t

Answers

Assuming t is a time unit.
The initial amount is when t = 0, so it is 9.8 * 1 = 9.8. The growth rate is how much the amount goes up by for every increase of 1 in t. This is 1.35 because that is the part being affected by t. we plug in 0 for t to get 9.8 as the initial amount. The growth rate is just 135% factor, or 35% more each time, because 1.35 is the base of the exponent.

$14.75

$203.65

$124.50

$307.40


Answers

Answer:

The new balance in Sean's account is $203.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial balance in Sean's account is $328.15. Then he writes checks for the amounts $20.75, $43.58, $30.45, and $29.72.  

The sum of his checks is $20.75 + $43.58 + $30.45 + $29.72 = $124.5

The new balance in Sean's account is the initial balance minus the sum of the amounts of the checks he wrote:

Final balance = $328.15 - $124.5 = $203.65

The new balance in Sean's account is $203.65

In a box of chocolates, 1/5 of the chocolates contain nuts.
The rest of the chocolates do not contain nuts.
Write down the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to number of chocolates that do not contain nuts.
Give your answer in the form of 1:n

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Proportion of the box of chocolates that contain nuts = 1/5

Proportion of the box of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

Therefore, we have in a box of chocolates with five chocolates;

The number of chocolates that contain nuts = 1

The number of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 4

Which gives the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates as 1:4.

Because of a problem in the program, the timer in a video player did not begin counting until the video had been playing for several seconds. The player began counting at 0 seconds, even though the video had already played 190 frames. The video plays 25 frames per second.
How many frames had the video already played when the time was equal to -3 2/5?

Answers

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

t = 0

frame = 190

so it means, the video has 190 before the timer start counting

speed 25 fps

-------

t = -3 2/5 s = -17/5 s

frame = ?

with the rate of 25 fps

it gain 25 x -17/5 = 85 frame.

so the video at that time has already played

190-85 = 105 frame

Match the lines m and n to the statements they represent

Answers

Answer:

Line n: A set of points where the coordinates of each point have a sum of 2

Line m: A set of points where the y-coordinate of each point is 10 less than the x-coordinate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lines m and n (See attachment)

Required

Interpret both lines

First, we pick few coordinates of line m and then line n.

For m

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (13,3)[/tex] -- At point E

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,-4)[/tex] -- At point B

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (2,-8)[/tex]  -- At point D

For n

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)[/tex] -- At point A

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,-4)[/tex] -- At point B

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (12,-10)[/tex]  -- At point C

Test for Statement A:

Set of point with a sum of 2

i.e.

[tex]x + y = 2[/tex]

For m

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (13,3)[/tex] -- At point E

[tex]x_1 + y_1 = 13 + 3 = 16[/tex]

This statement is not true for line m

For n

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)[/tex] -- At point A

[tex]x_1 + y_1 = -2 + 4 = 2[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,-4)[/tex] -- At point B

[tex]x_2 + y_2 = 6- 4 = 2[/tex]

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (12,-10)[/tex]  -- At point C

[tex]x_3 + y_3 = 12- 10 = 2[/tex]

This statement is true for line n

Test for Statement 2:

Set of points where y is x - 10

i.e.

[tex]y = x - 10[/tex]

For m

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (13,3)[/tex] -- At point E

[tex]y_1 = x_1 - 10[/tex]

[tex]3 = 13 - 10[/tex]

[tex]3 = 3[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,-4)[/tex] -- At point B

[tex]y_2 = x_2 - 10[/tex]

[tex]-4 = 6 - 10[/tex]

[tex]-4 = - 4[/tex]

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (2,-8)[/tex]  -- At point D

[tex]y_3 = x_3 - 10[/tex]

[tex]-8 = 2 - 10[/tex]

[tex]-8 = -8[/tex]

This statement is true for line m

Find the gradients of lines A and B

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]the \: gradient \: of \: line \: a \: is[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{1 } \\ m = 4[/tex]

[tex]the \: gradient \: of \: line \: b \: is[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{ - 2}{1} \\ m = - 2[/tex]

Gradients of line A is equals to [tex]4[/tex] and gradients of line B is equals to [tex]-2[/tex].

What is gradients?

" Gradients is defined as the ratio of difference of y-coordinates  to the difference of x-coordinates."

Formula used

Gradients [tex]= \frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}}[/tex]

According to the question,

Given from the graph,

Coordinates of Line A

[tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) = ( 3,3)\\\\(x_{2} ,y_{2} ) = ( 4,7)[/tex]

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

Gradient of line A [tex]= \frac{7-3}{4-3}[/tex]

                              [tex]= 4[/tex]

Coordinates of Line B

[tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) = ( -1,3)\\\\(x_{2} ,y_{2} ) = ( -2,5)[/tex]

Gradient of line B [tex]= \frac{5-3}{-2-(-1)}[/tex]

                              [tex]= -2[/tex]

Hence, gradients of line A is equals to [tex]4[/tex] and gradients of line B is equals to [tex]-2[/tex].

Traveling upstream (against the current) in a boat, you can travel 35 miles in 7 hours. It
takes half the time (3.5 hours) to travel the same distance downstream (with the
current). Find the speed of the current.

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of Equations

Let's call:

B = velocity of the boat

C = velocity of the current

When traveling upstream, the current is against the boat thus the relative velocity is B-C.

The distance is the product of the velocity by the time. Since the boat takes 7 hours to travel 35 miles upstream, thus:

d=(B-C)*7=35

Dividing by 7:

B - C = 5       [1]

When traveling downstream, the current and the boat are collaborative and the relative velocity is B+C. The travel takes now 3.5 hours, thus:

d=(B+C)*3.5=35

Dividing by 3.5:

B + C = 10       [2]

Subtracting [2] - [1]:

2C = 5

C = 5/2 = 2.5

The speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour
