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.

You deposit $400 in an account. The account earns $18 simple interest in 9 months. What is the annual interest rate

Answers

Use the formula,

I = Prt

P = Principal amount = 400

I  = interest = 18

r = annual rate

t = time in years = 9/12 = 3/4

so,

18 = 400*r*3/4

r =  0.06

so the annual interest rate is 0.06 or 6%.

Twice the sum of x and 3 is decreased by 13

Answers

Given:

Twice the sum of x and 3 is decreased by 13.

To find:

The expression for the given statement.

Solution:

The sum of x and 3 is (x+3).

Twice the sum of x and 3 is two times of (x+3), i.e., 2(x+3)

Negative sign is used of decrease.

Decreased by 13 is represented by -13.

Using these representation, we get

Twice the sum of x and 3 is decreased by 13: [tex]2(x+3)-13[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression is [tex]2(x+3)-13[/tex].

What is the approximate circumference of the circle shown below

Answers

Answer: A) 46.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2 π r or Circumference = π d

In this case, they give us the diameter = 14.8 cm. Therefore the radius = 14.8/2 = 7.4 cm.

π ≈ 3.14.

We can use either equation above, but because the diameter was given, we will use c = πd for simplicity.

C = π d

= (3.14)(14.8)

= 46.47 cm, which rounds to 46.5 cm

The graph shows the distance Kerri drives on a trip. What is Kerri's speed?
Driving Time and Distance

A. 25 miles per hour
B. 60 miles per hour
C. 75 miles per hour
D. 50 miles per hour

Answers

Answer:

Kerri's speed = 50 mile per hour. Therefore option (D) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance-time graph

It is clear from the distance-time graph that:

at Time = 1 hour, Distance = 50 milesat Time = 2 hours, Distance = 100 miles

so the two points on the distance-time graph is:

(1, 50)(2, 100)

Finding the slope between the points to determine the speed.

Please note that the slope between the points represents the speed or rate of change.

Speed = Rate of change = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

                                         = 100 - 50 / 2-1

                                          = 50 / 1

                                           = 50 miles per hour

Thus, Kerri's speed = 50 mile per hour. Therefore option (D) is true.

Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 3 feet 9 inches wide, another is 3 feet 3 inches wide, and the third is feet inches wide. How wide are they combined? Write your answer in feet and inches. Use a number less than for inches

Answers

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

Three dressers are placed side by side. One dresser is 3 feet 9 inches wide, another is 3 feet 3 inches wide, and the third is 5 feet 11 inches wide. How wide are they combined? Write your answer in feet and inches. Use a number less than for inches

Answer:

12 feet 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question, we would have to add up all the width of thee dressers together.

Hence:

3 feet 9 inches + 3 feet 3 inches + 5 feet 11 inches

= (3 feet + 3 feet + 5 feet) + (9 inches + 3 inches + 11 inches)

= 11 feet +( 23 inches)

Note that

12 inches = 1 feet

Hence:

11 feet (23 inches/12 inches)

11 feet (1 feet + 11 inches)

= 12 feet 11 inches.

Therefore, the width of the 3 dressers combined = 12 feet 11 inches

In Siberia, a record high temperature of 98 F has been reported. The record low temperature is 192 degrees lower than the record high temperature. What was the coldest Siberia temperature?

Answers

Answer:

Lo: - 94o F

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi: 98oF

Difference: 192 degrees lower

Low: ?

Formula

98 - 192 = -94

That seems incredibly cold. I've lived through a day that was - 60oF and that was enough. (about - 51o C)

If you think in Celcius

The formula is

C =   5/9(F - 32)

C =  5/9 (-94 - 32)

C = 5/9 (-126)

C = -60

I think Siberia must be much colder than -60.

Answer:  5x-3

=======================================================

Explanation:

Think of x as a placeholder for a number. For me, I tend to think of it as a box. It's handy that the letter x is part of box, to help make that connection better. We have some box and inside the box goes a number.

If we multiply 5 by whatever is in the box, we can write it like [tex]5*\square[/tex]

Then let's say we fill that box with the value 7. We would then have [tex]5*\boxed{7}[/tex]

If we put 3 in the box instead we'll have [tex]5*\boxed{3}[/tex] and so on

Unfortunately the box symbol isn't something we could easily write on a keyboard, so we go with x instead to make life simpler.

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

So far we've shown that "5 times a number" turns into 5*x or just 5x.

From here we subtract off 3 to get 5x-3 as the final answer. Whatever the result of 5x is, we subtract off 3.

The answer would not be 3-5x since this means "subtract 5x from 3". The order of subtraction matters. In general, A-B is not the same as B-A.

Isaiah gave $18 to his Friends. He gave 4 to Ricardo, $7 to Jeremiah, and the rest to Fabian. how much money did Fabian get?​

Answers

Answer:

Fabian got $7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isaiah gave $18 to his friends--Ricardo got $4, Jeremiah got $7, and Fabian got the rest. This needs a math equation!

4 + 7 + f = 18

where f is the amount of money Fabian got.

4 + 7 + f = 18

(subtract 4 from both sides)

7 + f = 14

(subtract 7 from both sides)

f = 7

It looks like Fabian got $7! Let's check just to make sure.

4 + 7 + f = 18

4 + 7 + (7) = 18

18 = 18

It checks out!

The answer is.. $7.00

y = 20x² + 24

For y to have the least possible value, x² have to be the least possible, which is 0.

Since -3 <= x <= 2 includes x = 0, this is allowed.

Hence least possible value of y
