If a+b=8, b+c=10 and c+a=12, what is the value of a+b+c?

The puzzle is solved by defining each variable in terms of another variable & a number & then making substitutions. Begin by taking each sum to define one of the variables in terms of the other. (Different combinations are available, but I’ll follow the a,b,c order.)

a+b=8 becomes a=8-b

b+c=10 becomes b=10-c

c+a=12 becomes c=12-a

Now subtract two of the equations that contain the same variable. I’ll pick two that contain an a: c+a =12 & a+b=8. Subtracting the latter from the former eliminates the “a”s, leaving c-b=4. Adding b to both sides to isolate c gives c=b+4. From above we can take b=10-c to substitute for b in c=b+4, giving us c=(10-c) + 4). Simplify the right side to c=14-c, add c to both sides, giving 2c=14, & then divide both sides by 2 to obtain c=7.

Replace the c in b=10-c with 7 to

If A = B and B = C, does A = C?

In mathematics = is assumed to be a transitive relationship. Transitivity means precisely what you stated: A = B and B = C implies A = C.

While it’s possible to use = to represent a non-transitive relationship this would be considered an abuse of notation. A ~ B or R(A, B) would be a better way to express the relation in this case.

Similar assumptions are made about operators like + and *. + is generally assumed to be commutative, whereas * can be used for noncommutative operations like matrix multiplication. E.g. A * B != B * A.

Equality in programming is another story entirely.

In many languages = is the assignment operator and == is the equality operator. Assignment is not transitive - it’s not even a relation.There are cases where the equality operator doesn’t define a transitive relation.

Answer:

[tex]Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs[/tex]

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

[tex]Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...[/tex]

[tex]Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...[/tex]

In the above lists, the common time is:

[tex]Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

This implies that they go on round after [tex]11\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]

Answer:

Slope = (1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation into the y = mx + b format.

-x + 2y = 5

2y = x + 5

y = (1/2)x + (5/2)

m represents slope, which is (1/2) in this question.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is the relationship of two numbers. ... A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1.

The difference between ratio and unit rate is that both of them are measures of two units and are written in the form of a numerator and a denominator but the unit rate denominator must be one.

It shows how many times one value is contained in another value.

The ratio shows how many times one value is contained in another value.

Example:

There are 3 apples and 2 oranges in a basket.

The ratio of apples to oranges is 3:2 or 3/2.

We have,

Ratio and unit rate

Ratio and unit rate both are written in the form of a numerator and a denominator.

The ratio is a measure of two units contained in a whole amount.

Example: 3 apples and 3 mangoes are contained in a bag

The ratio of apple and mango is 3:3 = 1:1

The unit rate is also a measure between two units but the denominator should always be one.

Example: A man can run 10 miles in 10 hours

In one hour 1 mile.

The unit ratio is 10miles per hour.

Thus,

The difference between ratio and unit rate is that both of them are measures of two units and are written in the form of a numerator and a denominator but the unit rate denominator must be one.

Answer:

C. 3.33 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonia decomposes

[tex]2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2[/tex]

We have to find the moles of hydrogen formed in 2.22 moles of ammonia.

From the reaction

2 moles of ammonia gives 3 moles of hydrogen

1 mole of ammonia  produce hydrogen=3/2 moles

2.22 moles of ammonia produces hydrogen=[tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 2.22[/tex] moles

Number of moles of hydrogen formed by decomposition of 2.22 moles of ammonia

=[tex]\frac{6.66}{2}=3.33[/tex]moles

Hence, 3.33 moles of hydrogen are formed in 2.22 moles of ammonia.

Answer:

2009

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be interpreted as:

[tex]f(x) = -1.330x^2 + 5.149x + 5.517[/tex]

Required

Determine x when f(x) = 10.5

Substitute 10.5 for f(x) in [tex]f(x) = -1.330x^2 + 5.149x + 5.517[/tex]

[tex]10.5 = -1.330x^2 + 5.149x + 5.517[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]-1.330x^2 + 5.149x + 5.517-10.5=0[/tex]

[tex]-1.330x^2 + 5.149x -4.983=0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = -1.330[/tex]

[tex]b = 5.149[/tex]

[tex]c = -4.983[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-5.149 \± \sqrt{5.149^2 - 4*-1.330*-4.983}}{2*-1.330}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-5.149 \± \sqrt{0.002641}}{-2.660}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-5.149 \± 0.0514}{-2.660}[/tex]

Split:

[tex]x = \frac{-5.149 + 0.0514}{-2.660}\ or\ x = \frac{-5.149 - 0.0514}{-2.660}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-5.0976}{-2.660}\ or\ x = \frac{-5.2004}{-2.660}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.92\ or\ x = 1.96[/tex]

Both values of x approximates to 2.

So:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Answer:

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x is going away from 7 in a positive direction which means greater than. the fact that it is just greater than not equal to means that there is a black circle instead of a filled in one because it excludes that number.

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the inequality is "x > 7" it means that if it was to be represented on a number line, all values that "c" could possibly take would be located to the right (on the number line) of 7. Now there only two options that follow this statement, those options are options 2 and 4. But there is another thing we must understand. x must be larger than 7 (it can not be equal to 7), therefor option 2 is right since it follows the second statement  while option 4 would represent inequality "x ≥ 7".
