(x-2)/(x+1)=1/2 . find x​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2)/(x+1)=1/2, we use that a/b = c/d is the same as a*d = c*b

2*(x-2) = 1* (x+1), distribute multiplication over subtraction

2x -4 = x +1 , subtract x and add 4 to both sides

2x -x = 1 +4, combine like terms

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer: x = 5

Solve:

Given

(x - 2) / (x + 1) = 1/2

Cross multiply applied

1 (x + 1) = 2 (x - 2)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

x + 1 = 2x - 4

Add 4 on both sides

x + 1 + 4 = 2x - 4 + 4

x + 5 = 2x

Subtract x on both sides

x + 5 - x = 2x - x

x = 5

Check:

Left-hand side = (x - 2) / (x + 1) = (5 - 2) / (5 + 1) = 3/6 = 1/2

Right-hand side = 1/2

1/2 = 1/2

6 (-2g - 1) = (13g + 2)

what is g?

Answers

Answer: g = -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 (-2g - 1) = (13g + 2)

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

6 · (-2g) - 6 · 1 = 13g + 2

-12g - 6 = 13g + 2

Add 12g on both sides

-12g - 6 + 12g = 13g + 2 + 12g

-6 = 25g + 2

Subtract 2 on both sides

-6 - 2 = 25g + 2 - 2

-8 = 25g

Divide 25 on both sides

-8 / 25= 25g / 25

[tex]\boxed{g=-0.32}[/tex]

Find the probability of “landing” in the shaded region of the figures below. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
3. Square with side length 40 ft

Answers

Answer:

Area of the square:

A = a² = 40² = 1600 ft²

Area of the circle:

A = πr² = 3.14*(40/2)² = 1256 ft²

Probability of landing in the shaded region:

P = 1256/1600 = 0.785 or 78.5%

Answer:

78.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the area of both shapes then divide to find the probability.

Square area:

40 * 40 = 1600ft²

Circle area with diameter [ 1/4πd² ]:

1/4π(40)²

1/4π(1600)

0.785(1600)

1,256

Now divide both areas to find the probability.

1256/1600 = 0.785

0.785 * 100% = 78.5%

Best of Luck!

Answer:

a. F=1.8c + 32

b. 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit

c. c=(F-32)/1.8

d. 28.3 degrees Celcius

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the two data points we can create an equation in slope-intercept form.

The y-intercept is 32

Slope can be found by doing 212-32/100-0 = 180/100 = 1.8

F=1.8c + 32

b. We can use this formula to solve for Fahrenheit

F=1.8(22)+32

F=71.6 degrees

c. Isolate c

F-32=1.8c

(F-32)/1.8=c

d. We can use this formula to solve for Celcius

(83-32)/1.8=c

c= 28.3333333 degrees

We can round that to 28.3 degrees Celcius

Answer:

a)F =1.8C +32

b) f(22) = 68 F

c)  C = 5/9F -17  7/9

d) 28.3

slope=   5/9  

B= -17  7/9  

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Cylinder
4 ft.
12 ft

Answers

Answer:

504 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we have the equation for the cylinder as well as the rectangular prism. Basically we're just going to find the volume of each of them separately and then add them together.

Let's start with the cylinder:

V(cylinder) = pi*r^2*h

pi = 3

d = 4ft

r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2ft

h = 12ft

V(cylinder) = (3)*(2^2)*(12)

V(cylinder) = 3*4*12

V(cylinder) = 144 ft^3

Now the rectangular prism:

V(rectangular prism) = l*w*h

l = 10ft

w = 6ft

h = 6ft

V(rectangular prism) = 10*6*6

V(rectangular prism) = 360 ft^3

Now we can add them together:

V(total) = 360 + 144

V(total) = 504 ft^3

Please give answer to the problem.

Answer:

6/25

Step-by-step explanation:

.24 = 24/100 = 6/25

Answer:

6/25

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 The decimal number = 0.24

step 2 Write it as a fraction

0.24/1

step 3 Multiply 100 to both numerator & denominator

(0.24 x 100)/(1 x 100) = 24/100

It can be written as 24% = 24/100 or 24/100

step 4 To simplify 24/100 to its lowest terms, find LCM (Least Common Multiple) for 24 & 100.

4 is the LCM for 24 & 100

step 5 divide numerator & denominator by 4

24/100 = (24 / 4) / (100 / 4)

= 6/25

6/25 is a simplest fraction for the decimal point number 0.24

We can change the equation to a improper fraction first.

4 3/7 = 4*7+3 = 31/7

Therefore the answer is 26/7.

simplify

The answer is equal to 26/7, or 21/7 + 5/7

Sorry but you did it wrong...

First you gonna make 4[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] become 3[tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] ( 4 -> 3 [tex]\frac{7}{7}[/tex] - *you need to make it become the same denominator)

Lets do it:  3[tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = ...

Because in  [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]  doesn't have a whole number so you will still keep 3

                 3[tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = 3.....

Next, you gonna subtract [tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10-5}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

                 3[tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = 3[tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

SO the answer for 4[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] is 3[tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
