5x−3−7x = 15−x What is x?

Answers

Answer 1
Simplify 5x-3-7 to -2x-3
-2x-3=15-x
Add 2x on both sides
−3=15−x+2x
Simplify 15-x+2x to 15+x
−3=15+x
Subtract 15 on both sides
-3-15=x
Simplify -3-15 to -18
-18=x
X=-18
Answer 2

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x - 3 - 7x = 15 - x \\ collect \: like \: terms \: \\ 5x - 7x + x = 15 + 3 \\ - x = 18[/tex]

[tex] \frac{ - x}{ - 1} = \frac{18}{ - 1} \\ x = - 18[/tex]

George Washington was born on 2-22-1732. He died in 1799 at the age of 67. The month in which he died and the day of the month on which he died are consecutive even integers whose product is 168. When did Washington die? month day year

Answers

Answer:

George Washington died on December 14th, 1799

Numerical with the arrangement: month - day - year

12 - 14 - 1799

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are told that: the month in which he died and the day of the month on which he died are consecutive even integers whose product is 168.

Therefore,

If one positive even integer = Month he died is represented by x

The second consecutive even integer = Day he died = x + 2

Their product =

x ( x + 2) = 168

x² + 2x = 168

x² + 2x - 168 = 0

We factorise

x² + 14x - 12x - 168 = 0

(x² + 14x) - (12x - 168) = 0

x(x + 14) - 12(x + 14) = 0

(x - 12)(x + 14) = 0

x - 12 = 0, x = 12

x + 14 = 0 , x = -14

Our answer cannot be a negative interger, hence x = 12

So the first positive even integer = 12

The second positive even integer = x+2 = 12 + 2 = 14

Therefore, the month he died = n = 12th month = December

The day he died = n + 2 = 14 = 14th day.

Hence, George Washington died on December 14th, 1799

Numerical with the arrangement: month - day - year

12 - 14 - 1799

The length of the hypotenuse in the given triangle is A. 15 units.

This type of question makes a right-angled triangle that can be solved by Pythagoras's theorem.

What is Pythagoras's theorem?

In a right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the smaller two sides of a right-angle triangle is equal to the square of the largest side.

Given, the base of the triangle is 12 units and the height is 9 units.

∴ x² = 9² + 12².

x² = 144 + 81.

x² = 225.

x = + 15 units.

So, the length of the hypotenuse is 15 units.

Required

Is the distance between them [tex]\sqrt{(x_7 - 8)^2 + (y_1 - 4)^2}[/tex]

Given that there are two points, the distance between them is calculated using

The table below shows student's preferred European football clubs as indicated in a survey run by
their math teacher. If two students were selected without replacement at random, what is the
probability that the first and second students prefer Juventus?

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 91/4950

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Barcelona (B) = 23

Real Madrid (R) = 23

Liverpool (L) = 22

Manchester City (M) = 18

Juventus (J) = 14

Total (T) = 100

Next, we shall determine the probability of the first pick i.e probability of Juventus. This is illustrated below:

P(J1) = n(J) /n(T)

P(J1) = 14/100

Now, the picking is done without replacement. The next pick being Juventus will reduce in number and likewise the total number will also reduce i.e

Juventus = 13

Total = 99

Therefore, the probability that the 2nd pick is Juventus is given below:

P(J2) = 13/99

Now, we can obtain the probability that the 1st and 2nd student prefer Juventus as follow:

P(J1 and J2) = P(J1) x P(J2)

P(J1) = 14/100

P(J2) = 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = P(J1) x P(J2)

P(J1 and J2) = 14/100 x 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = 7/50 x 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = 91/4950

Therefore, the probability that the 1st and 2nd student prefer Juventus is 91/4950

Neil is making colorful friendship bracelets for 6 of his friends. He has all of the colors of
thread he plans to use except for green. If every bracelet uses 22 inches of each color of
thread, how many feet of green thread should Neil buy from the craft store?

Answers

Answer:

11 feet

(or 132 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 6 bracelets to make, we can multiply 22 and 6 to get 132.

The correct unit / format to answer this is in feet and all we have right now is the amount of inches we must convert.

132 inches converted into feet can be found by dividing by the amount of inches there are in a 1 foot.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can divide 132 by 12 to get 11.

This equation is in slope-intercept form, or

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  The number in the m position in our equation is 4/5, so the slope is 4/5

Solve the equation. 1.25 =0.75+r

Answers

Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the opposite of addition

So 1.25 - 0.75

The solution to the equation 1.25 = 0.75 + r for r is r = 0.5

How to determine the solution to the equation for r

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

1.25 = 0.75 + r

Add -0.75 to both sides of the equation

so, we have the following representation

-0.75 + 1.25 = 0.75 + r + -0.75

Evaluate the like terms on the right hand side

This gives

-0.75 + 1.25 = r

Evaluate the like terms on the left hand side

This gives

0.5 = r

r = 0.5

Answer:

Function f(x) is positive for the values x ≤ -6 and x ≥ -2 and negative in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the graph,

Given function is a quadratic function, f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6)

With x-intercepts of the function, x = -6 and -2

Graph below the x-axis represents the negative values of the function.

Graph above the x-axis represents the positive values of the function.

Therefore, function f(x) is positive for the values x ≤ -6 and x ≥ -2 and the function is negative in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -2.

If a person can complete a job in 8 hours and his/her friend needs 6 hours to do the same job, what portion of the job would the tow of them complete by working together
for two hours?

Answers

Both of them can complete 7/12 of the job in  2 hours.

What is rate?

Rate is the mathematical term use to show how one quantity varies with a standard quantity.

Analysis:

If He can do the job in 8 hours, then he can do 1/8 of the job in 1 hour

If his friend can do the same job in 6 hours, then he can do 1/6 of that job in 1 hour.

So both of them would do the same job combine in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/6

LCM of 6 and 8 is 24 so that 3/24 + 4/24 = 7/24

In 2 hours they would complete = 7/24 x 2 = 7/12

In conclusion, both of them can do 7/12 of that job in  2 hours.
