PLEASE HELP ME Answer the following two questions in your own words: 1. Why can I divide instead of distribute? Why is that allowed? Ex. why can I divide by 6 in 6(3x + 4) = 12 instead of distribute the 6? 2. When creating common denominators, why do I have to multiply the numerator AND the denominator? Ex. why do I have to multiply 1 by 5 AND 2 by 5 when adding 1/2 + 3/10?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. You can divide both sides of an equation by any number except zero. If dividing both sides simplifies the equation, then it's better to do than than to distribute.

2. A fraction can be thought of as a ratio. To keep the value of the fraction the same, you must multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. If you multiply only the denominator by a number, the value of the fraction changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

6(3x + 4) = 12

Since the goal in solving this equation is to isolate x, meaning you want x alone on the left side, you need to do whatever legal operations that will accomplish that. Since 6 is a factor and (3x + 4) is a factor in a multiplication, you can divide both sides by 6 simplifying the left side. It is also correct to distribute on the left side, but it will make the solution longer.

Method 1: start by dividing both sides by 6

6(3x + 4) = 12

Step 1: Divide both sides by 6

3x + 4 = 2

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides

3x = -2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

x = -2/3

Method 2: start by distributing on the left side

6(3x + 4) = 12

Step 1: distribute the 6 on the left side

18x + 24 = 12

Step 2: subtract 24 from both sides

18x = -12

Step 3: divide both sides by 18

x = -12/18

Step 4: reduce the fraction

x = -2/3

As you can see, the solution is the same. The only difference is one extra step with the reduction  of the fraction in the case of distributing the 6.

2.

This has to do with the meaning of fractions.

For example, take the fraction 1/2.

This fraction means that you divided the unit into 2 equal parts, shown by the denominator of 2. Then you are taking 1 of those parts, shown by the numerator of 1. 1/2 means 1 out of 2. You can also think of 1/2 as the ratio of 1 to 2.

To add and subtract two factions, we need a common denominator. That means we must rewrite one or both fractions being added or subtracted in a way that they both have the same denominator. We need the fractions to represent the same amounts they did originally. If you changed only the denominator, you'd be changing the actual value of the fraction.

You need to add 1/2 and 3/10.

The least common denominator of 2 and 10 is 10, so we need to have both fractions with a denominator of 10. 3/10 already has a denominator of 10, so we just need to change 1/2 to a fraction with 10 in the denominator. By multiplying 2 by 5 we get 10, so we need to multiply the denominator of 1/2 by 5 to end up with a denominator of 10.

1/2 + 3/10

If you only changed the denominator of 1/2 to 10 by multiplying 2 * 5 = 10, you'd end up with

1/10 + 3/10,

but now think of the fraction 1/10 and compare it to 1/2.

1/2 means divide the unit into 2 equal parts and take 1 part.

1/10 means divide the unit into 10 equal arts and take 1 part.

1/2 is not the same as 1/10, so rewriting the addition

1/2 + 3/10 as 1/10 + 3/10 is actually changing the problem.

Now see what happens when we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, in this case 5.

We change 1/2 to (1 * 5)/(2 * 5) = 5/10. 1/2 equals 5/10. If you divide a unit into 10 equal parts and you take 5 parts, you have taken the same number of parts as if you had divided the unit into 2 parts and taken 1 part.

In other words, 1/2 is exactly the same amount as 5/10. The only difference between 1/2 and 5/10 is the way they are written.

Now we can correctly continue with the addition:

1/2 + 3/10 = 5/10 + 3/10 = 8/10

Finally we reduce 8/10 to 4/5 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4.

Andrew rents rooms in his hotel for an average of $97 per night. The variable cost per rented room is $36. His fixed costs are $52,000 per month. How many rooms does he have to rent per month in order to break even?

Answers

Answer:

853 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

If someone just opens the door with the intent to stay, Andrew has variable costs to pay which come off the 97 dollars. So his actual profit is 97 - 36 = 61 dollars. So how many rooms in total does he have to rent?

52000 / 61 = 853 rounded.

Is this realistic? The average month has 30 days

853 / 30 = 29 rooms rounded

Each room of 29 would have to be rented every night. I would say he better sell the hotel and go into something else.

why is gravitational force between two object usually unnoticeable​

Answers

Answer:

gravitational attraction is based upon mass.More the mass more the force.When the object is as big as a moon it has a very less gravity.When we are talking about small objects like 2 pencils the force exists but is so weak that no noticabke movement takes place

Answer:

To notice that force, the objects have to have a big mass and be close to each others.

Generally in eveydays life, you don't notice this force since it is weak but that doesn't mean it does't exist.

If you go the space, you can notice this force since planets have big mass. If you get close to the gravitational field of a planet, you will feel a force that is pulling you toward the planet.

Let's go through the answer choices to see which are true, and which are false.

A) This is false because (0,-2) is a y intercept, and not an x intercept. A zero of a function is always an x intercept.B) This is false. The curve peaks at the vertex (2,2) showing we have a max point, and not a min point.C) This is false. A function can have at most one y intercept. If it had more than one y intercept, then it wouldn't be a function (since the input x = 0 leads to more than one output).D) This is true. The range is the set of possible y outputs. We see that y = 2 is the largest output, which occurs at the vertex. We can get anything smaller than this y value. Therefore, the range is the set of y values such that [tex]y \le 2[/tex]

Amazon is sold at rupees 99000 after 10% discount and 10% bat on the Marked price find the discount amount and vat amount​

Answers

Answer:

Here,

SP with VAT = Rs. 99000

Discount = 10%

VAT = 10%

Discount Amount =?

VAT Amount = ?

We know,

SP = "100" /"100 + v% "  × SP with VAT    

 = "100" /"100 + 10 "  × 99000    

= "100" /"110 "  × 99000      

= Rs. 90000 ∴   VAT Amount = SP with VAT – SP    

= Rs. 99000 – 90000    

= Rs. 9000 Again,  MP = "100" /"100 – d% "  × SP      

=  "100" /"100 – 10 "  × 90000      

=  "100" /"90"  × 90000      

= Rs. 100000

∴   Discount Amount = MP – SP          

= Rs. 100000 – 90000          

= Rs. 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the list of all formulas on MP, Discount, SP, and VAT.

1. Discount Amount = Discount % of MP    

2. Discount % = (Discount Amount)/MP  ×100%      

3. SP = MP – Discount Amount    

4. SP = (100 - d%)/(100 )  × MP    

5. MP = 100/(100 - d% )  × SP  

 6. VAT amount = VAT percent of SP    

7. VAT percent = (VAT Amount)/SP  ×100%  

 8. SP with VAT = SP + VAT amount    

9. SP with VAT = (100 + v%)/(100 )  × SP    

10. SP = 100/(100 + v% )  × SP with VAT  

 11. MP = (100 × 100)/((100 - d%)(100 + v%))  × SP with VAT    

12. SP with VAT = ((100 - d%)(100 + v%))/(100 × 100)  × MP

3√3

the answer finally equals to 3√3

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y=3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find y, a missing side in a triangle.

1. Special Triangle Rules

This triangle is special. There is a 30-degree angle and a right angle or 90 degree angle, the unlabeled angle is 60 degrees. This is a 30-60-90 triangle so the sides are always in a specific relationship.

The side across from the 30-degree angle is a, the hypotenuse is 2a, and the side across from the 60-degree angle is √3 a.

y is across from the 30 degree angle, so it is equal to a. However, we have to find a. We are given one side that measures 6. It is the hypotenuse because it is across from the right angle. Therefore, it is equal to 2a.

2a= 6

a is being multiplied by 2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for a.

2a/2= 6/2 a= 6/2 a=3

y is across from the 30-degree angle, so it is equal to a or 3.

2. Trigonometric Functions

We can also solve using the 3 main trigonometric functions.

sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse tanθ= opposite/adjacent

y is opposite the 30-degree angle and 6 is the hypotenuse, and we will use sine.

[tex]sin \theta= \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sin (30)= \frac{y}{6}[/tex]

y is being divided by 6. The inverse operation of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6 to solve for y.

[tex]6 * sin(30)= \frac{y}{6} *6[/tex]

[tex]6 * 0.5 = y[/tex]

[tex]3= y[/tex]

The missing side, y , is equal to 3.

The 3^0 in the denominator is equal to 1. Any nonzero number raised to an exponent of 0 is always 1. So this equation x^0 = 1 is true when x is nonzero.

This allows us to simplify to the equation 3^x = 1/81

Note how 81 = 3^4. Taking the reciprocal of 81 means the exponent goes from positive to negative. So 3^(-4) = 1/81. The rule is x^(-k) = 1/( x^k ). We could use logarithms to solve 3^x = 1/81.

Now you subtract x from the total

685 - x

And divide by 13 [one number is missing]

(685 - x)/13

and the result = 43

(685 - x ) / 13 = 43                Multiply both sides by 13

685 - x  = 43 * 13

685 - x = 559                       Subtract 685 from both sides
