a 27-inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is 3 times as long as the first piece and the third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece. if x represents the length of the first piece, find the lengths of all three pieces

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

27 = x + 3x +5x

27 = 9x

3 = x

Board 1: (3)(1) = 3 inches

Board 2: (3)(3) = 9 inches

Board 3: (3)(5) = 15 inches

Answer 2

Length of the first piece is 3 inches

Length of the second piece is 9 inches

Length of the third piece is 15 inches

What are equations?

An equation is a mathematical statement which equate two algebraic expressions. An equation has an equal to (=) sign in between the expression.

How to find the lengths of all three pieces?

According to the problem,

The length of the board is 27 inches.The  board is to be cut into three pieces .The second piece is 3 times as long as the first pieceThe third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece.x represents the length of the first piece

Length of the second piece = 3x inches

∴ Length of the third piece = 5x inches.

Now, all these pieces will add up to 27 inches.

∴ x + 3x + 5x = 27

⇒ 9x = 27

⇒ x = 3

Length of the first piece = 3 inches

Length of the second piece = (3 x 3) inches = 9 inches

Length of the third piece = (5 x 3) inches = 15 inches

Write the equation g(x) of the transformation of the parent graph f(x) = |x| stretched vertically by a factor of 2, reflected over the x-axis, and translated left 1 unit and down 3 units.

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = -2|x+1| -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x|

y = f(x) + C C < 0 moves it down

y = |x| -3  for  shifting down 3

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

y = |x+1| -3 for move it left 1

y = Cf(x)  C > 1 stretches it in the y-direction

y = 2|x+1| -3 to stretch it 2 vertically

y = −f(x)  Reflects it about x-axis

y = -2|x+1| -3

We start off with f(x) = |x|

c < 0 means move down

y = f(x) + c

3 units down

After: y = |x| - 3

c > 0 means move left

y = f(x + c)

1 unit left

After: y = |x + 1| - 3

c > 1 means y direction stretch

y = cf(x)

2 unit stretch

After: y = 2|x + 1| - 3

Reflect across x-axis can be stated as y = -f(x)

After: y = -2|x + 1| - 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9/100 i believe as you would multiply 3/10 by 3/10 due to the fact the marble is being replaced so the probability of getting a red marble the second time will be more unlikely. If I'm right please thank me or give me brainly. Hope this helps :)

The probability of drawing two red marbles, if the first marble is replaced after it is drawn, is 9/100.

What is Probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

The probability of drawing a red marble on the first draw is 3/10, since there are 3 red marbles out of a total of 10 marbles.

Since the first marble is replaced before the second draw, the probability of drawing a red marble on the second draw is also 3/10.

To find the probability of drawing two red marbles in a row, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events, since they are independent:

P(drawing two red marbles) = P(red on first draw) × P(red on second draw)

P(drawing two red marbles) = (3/10) × (3/10)

= 9/100

Therefore, the probability of drawing two red marbles, if the first marble is replaced after it is drawn, is 9/100.

8x^2+5=22x Need help learning factoring please put work so I can understand

Answers

Answer: (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)

STEP 1 : Equation at the end of step 1

(23x2 - 22x) + 5

STEP 2 : Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 8x2-22x+5

The first term is, 8x2 its coefficient is 8 .

The middle term is, -22x its coefficient is -22 .

The last term, "the constant", is +5

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 8 • 5 = 40

Step-2 : Find two factors of 40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -22 .

-40 + -1 = -41

-20 + -2 = -22 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -20 and -2

8x2 - 20x - 2x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

4x • (2x-5)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

1 • (2x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(4x-1) • (2x-5)

Which is the desired factorization

Final result : (2x - 5) • (4x - 1)

find the length and breadth of a rectangular plot whose area is 660square metre and perimeter is 104metre​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let length=l

breadth=b

l×b=660

2(l+b)=104

l+b=104/2=52

b=52-l

l×(52-l)=660

52l-l²=660

l²-52l+660=0

l²-22l-30l+660=0

l(l-22)-30(l-22)=0

(l-22)(l-30)=0

l=22,30

when l=22,b=52-22=30

when l=30,b=52-30=22

l>b

so l=30m

b=22m

Answer:

W = 22 m

L = 30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

area is 660square metre and perimeter is 104metre​

find:

the length and breadth of a rectangular plot

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

1. area of rectangle (A) = L x W

2. Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W

where:

A = 660 m²

P = 104 m

solve for L using formula 1.

A = L x W

660 = L x W

L =  660 / W

solve W using formula 2 and use L = 660 / W

P = 2L + 2W

104 = 2 (660)  +  2W

               W

104W = 1320 + 2 W²

-2W² + 104W = 1320

solve W using quadratic equation:

W = 22 m; ( 30 m = L)

plugin W=22 into L =  660 / W to solve L:

L = 660 / 22

L = 30 m

Find the coordinates of the vertex of g(x) = |x + 1| - 2.

A. (-2, -1)
B. (-2, 1)
C. (-1, -2)
D. (1, -2)

Answers

Answer:

The vertex will be at ( -1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = |x + 1| - 2.

The vertex of g(x) = |x |  is ( 0,0)

y = f(x) + C C < 0 moves it down  

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

We shift this  to the left 1 unit and down 2 units

( 0 -1, 0-2)

The vertex will be at ( -1,-2)

Given: g(x) = |x + 1| - 2.

We start at g(x) = |x| at (0, 0)

c < 0 moves it down

y = f(x) + c

2 units down

c > 0 moves it left

y = f(x + c)

1 unit to the left

After the shift, we see the vertex being at (-1, -2).

Faucet A flows at a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes and Faucet B flows at a rate of 100 liters per 4 minutes into an empty pool. How many minutes do the two faucets take to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water?

Answers

Answer:

It will take both faucets 200 minutes to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the time it will take for both faucets to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

What we need here is to have a joint rate for both faucets;

For the first faucet, we have a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes so this means in a minute;

100/5 = 20 liters per minute

For the second faucet, the per minute rate will be 100/4 = 25 liters per minute

So therefore, the joint rate will be;

25 liters per minute + 20 liters per minute = 45 liters per minute

So the time needed to fill 9,000 liters of water in a pool will be ;

9000 liters/ 45 liters per minute = 200 minutes

The mistake that Carina made is she should have subtracted 3.40 from 5.27.

How many pounds of tomatoes was bought?

 The equation that represents the total amount spent is: $5.27 = $3.40 + $0.85x

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms: 5.27 - 3.40 = 0.85Add similar terms: 1.87 = 0.85xDivide both sides of the equation by 0.85: 2.2 pounds

Answers

Answer:

Luke = 0.75

Owen = 0.04

Jacob = 2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

A model = 100 small squares

100 small squares = 1

Luke shades three fourths of one model.

Luke = 3/4 of 1 model

= 3/4 × 1

= 0.75

Owen shades four small squares of one model.

Owen = 4/100

= 0.04

Jacob shades two full models and nine tenths of another model

Jacob = 2 + 9/10

= 2 + 0.9

= 2.9

Luke = 0.75

Owen = 0.04

Jacob = 2.9
