Answer 2

Answer:

x=27/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2-1/3x=-4

subtract 1/2 from both sides

1/2+-1/3x -1/2=-4 -1/2

Group like terms

-1/3 ⋅ x +1/2+(-1/2)=-4 -1/2

Combine the fractions

-1/3 ⋅ x+0=-4 -1/2

Convert the integer into a fraction

-1/3 ⋅ x=-8/2 -1/2

Combine.

-1/3 ⋅ x= -9/2

Isolate the x:

-1/3x ⋅ 3/-1= -9/2 ⋅ 3/-1

1x=-9/2 ⋅ 3/-1

x= -9 ⋅ -3/2

x=27/2 as your answer

solve using the quadratic formula:
3x=2x^2-2

Answers

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Move terms to the left side.

[tex]3x=2x^{2} -2\\3x-(2x^{2}-2)=0[/tex]

2) Distribute.

[tex]3x-(2x^{2} -2)=0\\3x-2x^{2} +2=0[/tex]

3) Rearrange terms.

[tex]3x-2x^{2} +2=0\\-2x^{2} +3x+2=0[/tex]

4) Common factor.

[tex]-2x^{2} +3x+2=0\\-(2x^{2} -3x-2)=0[/tex]

5) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term.

[tex]-(2x^{2} -3x-2)=0\\2x^{2} -3x-2=0[/tex]

6) Use the quadratic formula.

[tex]x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

[tex]2x^{2} -3x-2=0\\a=2\\b=-3\\c=-2[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*2(-2)} }{2*2}[/tex]

7) Simplify.

Evaluate the exponent

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4*2(-2) } }{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9-4*2(-2)} }{2*2}[/tex]

Multiply the numbers

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9-4*2(-2)} }{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9+16} }{2*2}[/tex]

Add the numbers

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9+16} }{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{25} }{2*2}[/tex]

Evaluate the square root

[tex]x=\frac{3+\sqrt{25} }{2*2} \\x=\frac{3+5}{2*2}[/tex]

Multiply the numbers

[tex]x=\frac{3+5}{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3+5}{4}[/tex]

8) Seperate the equations.

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.

[tex]x=\frac{3+5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3-5}{4}[/tex]

9) Solve.

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution.

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

Is Danny correct?

Answers

Answer:

Danny is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 loaf of bread = 1.2

1 bottle of mil = 0.7

2 packets of cheese = 4.6

1.2+0.7+4.6 = 6.5

10-6.5 = 3.5

Danny is incorrect as he should be given £3.50 change instead of £3.30 change.

Answer:

7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle M is 63 degrees because all 3 angles must add to 180.

Now use the law of sines:

sin(90)/x = sin(63)/6.3

Cross multiply: 6.3 sin (90) = x sin (63)

Divide by sides by sin (63): (6.3 sin (90))/sin (63) = x

Form an inequality, in terms of n
Solve the inequality to find the least value of n
You must show all your working

Answers

Answer:

n ≥ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R and E stand for the number of cows owned by Richard and Ellis, respectively.

We are told that:

R = n

E = 4n

Then:

R = n+13   [Bought 13 cows]

and

E = 4n-9  [Sold 9 cows]

Still:

E > R  [Ellis still has more cows]

Therefore:

4n-9 > n+13

3n  > 22

n > 7 1/3

Since no rancher wants 1/3 of a cow, we need to round either up or down to a whole number.  The least value of n is therefore 8 cows or higher.  Since 8 is a valid number, change the > inequality to ≥.

n ≥ 8

First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.

Hope this helps!

The figure shows triangle DEF and line segment BC, which is parallel to EF:


Triangle DEF has a point B on side DE and point C on side DF. The line BC is parallel to the line EF.

Part A: Is triangle DEF similar to triangle DBC? Explain using what you know about triangle similarity. (5 points)


Part B: Which line segment on triangle DBC corresponds to line segment EF? Explain your answer. (3 points)


Part C: Which angle on triangle DBC corresponds to angle F? Explain your answer. (2 point

Answers

Part A: Yes, Triangle DEF and DBC are the same triangle, but DBC is smaller than DEF because it is just a cut off of DEF.

Part B: I am pretty sure it is angle C.

Part C: I am pretty sure it is angle D.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

m < B = m < E   (corresponding angles, (BC parallel to EF))

m < C = m < F   ( as above)

So triangles DBC and DEF are similar ( by 2 equal angles).

Part B.

Line segment BC   ( as they are both opposite  < D)

Part C.

< C as its in same relative position to < F.

A balanced scale has 3 marbles, 2 pennies, and 4 quarters on one side and 4 marbles, 2
quarters, and 1 penny on the other side. If pennies weigh one gram and quarters weigh
3 grams, find the weight of a marble. Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

See image

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is really like a scale with two equal things on both sides. You could use the idea of a scale and lift off the same amount from both sides to keep it balanced. But I will show you the algebra version. When we subtract the same thing from both sides that's how we work back to our answer while keeping the scale balanced.

Let m = weight of a marble

p = weight of a penny = 1 gram

q = weight of a quarter= 3 grams

The problem says how many of each marble, penny, quarter, then set them equal to each other. See image
