8x + 4(x – 1) = 15x – 10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

8 x + 4 (x - 1) = 15 x - 10

Hint: | Distribute 4 over x - 1.

4 (x - 1) = 4 x - 4:

4 x - 4 + 8 x = 15 x - 10

Hint: | Group like terms in 8 x + 4 x - 4.

Grouping like terms, 8 x + 4 x - 4 = (8 x + 4 x) - 4:

(8 x + 4 x) - 4 = 15 x - 10

Hint: | Add like terms in 8 x + 4 x.

8 x + 4 x = 12 x:

12 x - 4 = 15 x - 10

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 x from both sides:

(12 x - 15 x) - 4 = (15 x - 15 x) - 10

Hint: | Combine like terms in 12 x - 15 x.

12 x - 15 x = -3 x:

-3 x - 4 = (15 x - 15 x) - 10

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

15 x - 15 x = 0:

-3 x - 4 = -10

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 4 to both sides:

(4 - 4) - 3 x = 4 - 10

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

4 - 4 = 0:

-3 x = 4 - 10

Hint: | Evaluate 4 - 10.

4 - 10 = -6:

-3 x = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -3 x = -6 by -3:

(-3 x)/(-3) = (-6)/(-3)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

x = (-6)/(-3)

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and -3.

The gcd of -6 and -3 is -3, so (-6)/(-3) = (-3×2)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×2 = 2:

A tree is planted and is expected to grow according to the model below, where t is the number of years since the tree was planted and H is the height of the tree, in feet. = 3 + 5 0 ≤ ≤ 100 How many years after the tree is planted does the model predict the height of 65 feet?

Answers

Answer:

20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]H = 3t + 5[/tex]

[tex]0 \leq H \leq 100[/tex]

Required

Solve for t when H = 65ft

[tex]H = 3t + 5[/tex]

Substitute 65 for H

[tex]65 = 3t + 5[/tex]

Make 3t the subject

[tex]3t = 65 - 5[/tex]

A small business borrows $50,000 to get started. Some of the money is borrowed at 9%, some at 7%, and some at 10% simple interest. The total of the annual interest they are charged is $4340, and the amount borrowed at 7% is two times the amount borrowed at 9%. Set up a system of equations to represent the situation, then find the amounts of money (x, y, and z) borrowed at each interest rate.

Answers

Answer: Amount borrowed at 9% = 9,428.57

Amount borrowed at 7% = $18,857.14

Amount borrowed at 10% = $ 21,714.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest :

I = PRT,

P= Principal, R =rate , T= time

Let x = amount borrowed at 9%.

y = amount borrowed at 7%.

z = amount borrowed at 10%.

i.e. x+y+z= 50000    (i) [Given : amount invested = 50000]

Interest on x = x (0.09)(1)   [as P=x,  T=1 year, r= 0.09]

= 0.09x

Similarly

Interest on y = y(0.07)(1) = 0.07y

Interest on z = z(0.1)(1)=0.1z

Total interest = 0.09x+0.07y+0.1z = 4340   (ii)

Also, y=2x   [given]  (iii)

Put y=2x in (i) and (ii), we get

x+2x+z= 50000 ⇒ 3x+z=50000    (iv)

0.09x+0.07(2x)+0.1z=4340  ⇒ 0.09x+0.14x+0.1z=4340

⇒ 0.23x+0.1z=4340    (v)

Multiply 10 on both sides of (v)

2.3x+z=43400   (vi)

Eliminate (vi) from (v)

0.7x=6600

⇒ x= 9,428.57

From (iii), y= 2(9428.57) =18,857.14

From (vi),

2.3(9428.57)+z=43400

⇒ 21685.71+z=43400

⇒ z= 43400-21685.71

⇒ z=21714.29

Hence, Amount borrowed at 9% = 9,428.57

Amount borrowed at 7% = $18,857.14

Amount borrowed at 10% = $ 21,714.29

The area of Canada is approximately 1×10^7 square kilometers, and the area of Mexico is approximately 2×10^6 square kilometers. The area of Canada is approximately how many times the area of Mexico?

Answers

Answer:

5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of Canada is approximately 1×10⁷ square kilometers, and the area of Mexico is approximately 2×10⁶ square kilometers.

We need to find the area of Canada is approximately how many times the area of Mexico.

Dividing both areas as follows :

[tex]\dfrac{A_c}{A_m}=\dfrac{10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\\\dfrac{A_c}{A_m}=5\\\\A_c=5A_m[/tex]

So, the area of Canada is approximately 5 times the area of Mexico.

We have the price of a senior ticket is $4 and the price of a child ticket is $7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can form two equations, let the price of a senior ticket be s and the price of a child ticket be c.

We have from day 1:

A: 3s + 9c = 75

And from day 2:

B: 8s + 5c = 67

Now we can rewrite A as:

A: 24s + 72c = 600

And can rewrite B as:

B: 24s + 15c = 201

Now A-B can be written as:

A-B: 57c = 399

So c = 7

Now substituting this back into A we get:

A: 3s + 63 = 75

A: 3s = 12

So s = 4

We have the price of a senior ticket is $4 and the price of a child ticket is $7

X = 2

How to solve -

You can subtract the equations
to do that you have to find a way to get rid of one of the variables.

Easiest way to do this based on these equations is by multiplying one of the equations by -2.

-2(5x + y =9)

From there you’d get

-10 x - 2 y = -18

Now you can add the equations since you already distributed the negative two to the equations.

10 x - 2 y = -18
+
3 x + 2 y = 4

-7 x = - 14

x = 2

To find y, you have to substitute x =2 into one of the equations.
