Answer:
m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice what has been done to the variable. It has been multiplied by 3, then 1 is added to the product.
We solve an equation like this by undoing those operations, in the reverse order. First, we undo the addition of +1 by adding -1 (the opposite of +1) to both sides of the equation.
3m + 1 - 1 = 10 - 1
3m = 9 . . . . . . . . . simplify
__
Now, we undo the multiplication by 3 by multiplying by the "multiplicative inverse" or reciprocal, 1/3. This is the same as dividing by 3.
(1/3)(3m) = (1/3)(9)
As before, we do this to both sides of the equation.
m = 3 . . . . . . . . . simplify
The solution is m = 3.
_____
The rule for equations is that you must do the same operation to both sides of the equation in order for it to remain valid. (The same is true for inequalities, with a special rule for multiplication or division by a negative number. Doing that reverses the comparison symbol: < ⇔ > or ≤ ⇔ ≥.)

Which equation has solution x = -3?
A) 2x - 7 = -1
B) 3x + 8 = 1
C) 1/2x+8=10
D) 1/2(2x-6)=-6
Answer:
D) 1/2(2x-6)=-6 = x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
A. x = 3
B. x = 7/3
C. x = 4
D. x = -3
Solve for x:
(2 x - 6)/2 = -6
Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of (2 x - 6)/2 = -6 by 2:
(2 (2 x - 6))/2 = -6×2
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (2 x - 6))/2.
(2 (2 x - 6))/2 = 2/2×(2 x - 6) = 2 x - 6:
2 x - 6 = -6×2
Hint: | Multiply 2 and -6 together.
2 (-6) = -12:
2 x - 6 = -12
Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Add 6 to both sides:
2 x + (6 - 6) = 6 - 12
Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.
6 - 6 = 0:
2 x = 6 - 12
Hint: | Evaluate 6 - 12.
6 - 12 = -6:
2 x = -6
Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 2 x = -6 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = (-6)/2
Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
2/2 = 1:
x = (-6)/2
Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.
The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:
Answer: x = -3
A gold mine has two elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second. The elevator for the miners descends 13 feet per second. One day, the equipment elevator begins to descend. After 33 seconds, the elevator for the miners begins to descend. What is the position of each elevator relative to the surface after another 12 seconds? At that time, which elevator is deeper?
Answer:
The position of the equipment elevator is 180 feet deep
The position of the miner's elevator is 156 feet deep
The equipment elevator is deeper.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
For the equipment elevator
Velocity (v) = 4 feet/second
and for the miner's elevator,
Velocity (v) = 13 feet/second
To determine the position of each elevator, the position can be related to the distance covered.
From
Velocity = Distance / Time
Distance = Velocity × Time
Now, from the question,
The equipment elevator first descends for 33 seconds, after which the miner's elevator then start to descend both elevators descend for another 12 seconds. That is, the equipment elevator descends for a total of (33+12) seconds while the miner's elevator descends for 12 seconds.
Now, for the equipment elevator
Velocity = 4 feet/second
Time = (33 + 12 seconds) = 45 seconds
From
Distance = Velocity × Time
Distance = 4 × 45
Distance = 180 feet
The position of the equipment elevator is 180 feet deep
For the miner's elevator,
Velocity = 13 feet/second
Time = 12 seconds
Also, from
Distance = Velocity × Time
Distance = 13 × 12
Distance = 156 feet
The position of the miner's elevator is 156 feet deep
Hence, the equipment elevator is deeper.

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-Solve the following expression when [tex]x = 4[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{5x + 12}{4}[/tex]
-Apply the value of [tex]x[/tex] onto the equation:
[tex]\frac{5x + 12}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5(4)+ 12}{4}[/tex]
-Multiply both the [tex]5[/tex] and [tex]4[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{32}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{8}[/tex]
So, therefore, the final answer is [tex]8[/tex].
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
My answer is 8!!!
If x is equal to 4 then 5x4=20 because if there is no sign then that means that you have to multiply, then you add 20 and 12 which is equal to 32, And then you simplify 4 which equals 8, or you can think of dividing 32 and 4 which is also 8.
6x + 2 = 5x + 17, would there be one unique solution? What is it?
Answer:
X = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
1.- Rewrite the equation, Put like terms on the same side
6x - 5x = 2 - 17
Instead of adding subtract
2.- Divide 1 on both sides
1x = 15
You should only have X on the left side
3.- You should have
X = 15

Peter says, "If you subtract 13 from my number and multiply the difference by -3, the result is
- 69." What is Peter's number?
Answer:
Peter's number is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you subtratct 13 from 36, you get 23.
If you multiply that times -3, you get -69.
(The way I got 23 was by dividing -69 and -3)

The difference of twice a number and 3 is at most -21
Answer:
The equation: 2n - 3 ≤ -21
The answer to the equation: n ≤ 9
Step-by-step explanation:
How to get the equation:
The difference of symbolizes subtraction. Because we are subtracting twice a number and 3, the first part of the equation can be written as 2n - 3. The n symbolizes the number.
is at most symbolizes a less than or equal to sign. That sign is ≤. And what is it less than or equal to? -21.
Now are equation is 2n - 3 ≤ -21
How to solve it:
2n - 3 ≤ -21
Add 3 to both sides of the equation
2n ≤ 18
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
n ≤ 9

Step-by-step explanation:
A retiree has $200,000 to invest and needs to make $13,000 with her investments. If she can invest in government bonds at 6% or investment grade bonds at 8%, how much should she invest in each?
Answer:
She should invest 150,000 in government bonds and 50,000 in investment grade bonds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount invested in government bonds be $y while the amount invested in investment bond be $x
Since total is $200,000
Then:
x + y = 200,000 ••••••(i)
Since 13,000 is what is expected to be earned, then this is like the interest.
thus;
6% of x + 8% of y = 13,000
6x/100 + 8y/100 = 13,000
Multiply through by 100
6x + 8y = 1300000 •••••••(ii)
From i, x = 200,000 - y
insert this into ii
6(200,000-y) + 8y = 1300000
1200000-6y + 8y = 1300000
2y = 1300000-1200000
2y = 100,000
y = 100,000/2
y = 50,000
but x + y = 200,000
thus, x = 200,000 - 50,000
x = 150,000
As you walk to your car, you notice that your tire is nearly flat! The initial psi level yesterday was 40 but it is now only 38 today. If this trend continues and the tire keeps losing the same percentage of air, how much should be left at the end of the week rounded to 1 decimal? (7 days later)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Initial psi yesterday = 40 psi
psi today = 38 psi
If trend continues and tire loses the same percentage of air. How much air will be left in tire at the end of the week
1 week ( 7days)
Total loss after 7 days = (amount lost per day * number of days)
Total psi lost per day= [(40 - 38) = 2
% psi lost = (2/40) * 100
= 5%
Applying the exponential loss functin:
A = I ( 1 - r)^t
t = 7days ; r = 5% = 0.05 ; A = amount left ; I = Initial amount
A = 40(1 - 0.05)^7
A = 40(0.95)^7
A = 40 * 0.69833729609375
A = 27.933
A = 27.9 psi

B because we use pemdes and for 2 they answers are both equivalent
Answer:
1) B. Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides
2) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer Part B, we have to answer to equation.
Step 1- Add x to both sides of the equation.
4x+2= 6-x
+x +x
5x+2= 6
Step 2- Subtract 2 to both sides of the equation.
5x+2= 6
-2 -2
5x= 4
Step 3- Divide 5 to both sides of the equation.
5x= 4
5 5
This gives us 4/5 or 0.80.
So, the answer is yes to Part B.
Hope this helps!
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -3) and is
parallel to the line 4x - y = 12
Answer: y = 4x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of the second line.
4x - y = 12
-y = -4x + 12
y = 4x - 12
slope = 4
Therefore, the slope of the second line must also be 4.
Use point-slope form to write the equation.
y + 3 = 4(x + 2)
y = 4x + 5

Answer:
2497.22...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x + (2x + 40) + (3x - 50) = 15002
Remove the parentheses
x + 2x + 40 + 3x - 50 = 15002
Combine like terms
x + 2x + 3x + 40 - 50 = 15002
6x - 10 = 15002
6x = 15002 + 10
6x = 15012
x = 15012/6
x = 2502
