Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3x - 2(5 - x) = 30

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -2:                    3x - 10 + 2x = 30Combine like terms:        5x - 10 = 30Isolate x term:                  5x = 40Isolate x:                           x = 8

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    3(8) - 2(5 - 8) = 30Multiply:                               24 - 2(5 - 8) = 30Subtract:                              24 - 2(-3) = 30Multiply:                               24 + 6 = 30Add:                                     30 = 30

Here we see that 30 does indeed equal 30.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Each of three colored cups covers one of three objects. 1) The red cup is somewhere to the left of the white cup. 2) The coin is somewhere to the left of the bean. 3) The gray cup is somewhere to the right of the shell. 4) The bean is somewhere to the right of the gray cup. Under which color cup is the shell?

Answers

Answer:

Shell is under Red color cup

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 cups and 3 objects which they cover under them.

Taking into consideration (4) and (2) as they both describe the position related to bean

(4) Gray cup  →Bean (right)     (2) coin ← bean (left)  

that means coin can either under Gray cup or left to gray cup.

Now

(1) Red ← White (left)  (3) Shell → Gray  (right)

This means if we consider coin to be left of gray cup then we can't place shell to the left of gray cup as required in (3)

so coin will be under gray cup

on forming the Color of cups and the coin below them

C1             C2         C3

Red       Gray      White

 __           __          __

Shell        coin        Bean

So Shell is under Red color cup

A membership to the gym costs $25 per person in 1995. The membership cost has increased by an average of $6 per person for each year since 1995. Write a linear equation for the cost of a gym membership for one person since 1995.What is the cost of a gym membership in 2009?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of a gym membership would be 109

Step-by-step explanation:

2009-1995=14

thats how many years apart from each other

so its been 14 years $6 for each year so 14x6=84

so the regular price was $25 and went up 84 dollars last 14 years.

25+84=109 so the price of gym membership would be $109

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C=32(3.14)=100.48\text{ meters}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circle has a diameter of 32 meters.

And we want to find its circumference.

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:

[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]

Where d is the diameter.

So, we will substitute 32 for d and we will use 3.14 for π. Hence, our circumference will be:

[tex]C=32(3.14)=100.48\text{ meters}[/tex]

Answer:

100.48 m

The ordered pair (10, 5) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

The ordered pair (10, 5) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.

Answers

Answer:

Calculate the perimeter of the original figure.

Multiply the perimeter of the original figure by the scale factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

A, C, D

The steps which could be used to find the perimeter are Find the scale factor: enlarged over original = 6 over 3 = 2, Calculate the perimeter of the original figure and Multiply the perimeter of the original figure by the scale factor.

What is Scale Factor?

Scale factor is the ratio of the dimension of the given original object and the dimension of the new object from the original.

Given that,

A smaller triangle has side lengths 4, 5, 3. A larger triangle has side lengths 8, 10, 6.

First find the scale factor.

Scale factor of enlarged over original = 8/4 = 10/5 = 6/3 = 2

Now, find the perimeter of the original figure.

Perimeter of the original figure = 4 + 5 + 3 = 12

Now.

Perimeter of enlarged figure = Scale factor × Perimeter of original figure

= 2 × 12

= 24

Hence the correct steps are first, third and last step.

The Blue whale presently the largest mammal is about to 2.27 times more than the largest dinosaur. Blue whales weigh about 1.362 x 10 to the fifth power kilograms. Using scientific notation, about how much did the largest dinosaur weigh?

Answers

Answer: 60,004.41 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Weight of Blue whales = [tex]1.362 \times 10^5[/tex] kilograms

= [tex]1.3621\times 100000=136210[/tex]

Weight of blue whale = 2.27 x (weight of largest dinosaur )

[tex]136210=2.27\times \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)} =\dfrac{136210}{2.27}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{(weight of largest dinosaur)}=60004.41[/tex]

Hence, The weight of largest dinosaur = 60,004.41 kilograms

x + y = 42, xy = 108 then what is x and y. Is there any (non-quadratic)formula for finding this instead of the process of elimination

Answers

Answer:

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

use substitution method

x+y = 42 ------ (1)

xy = 108 ------ (2)

from (1) ,

x+y = 42

y = 42-x ------ (3)

substitute (3) into (2)

xy = 108

x( 42-x ) = 108

42x - x² = 108

-x² + 42x - 108 = 0

x² - 42x + 108 = 0

use the following formula to solve the value of x:

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \: \\ ii) \: x = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

a = 1

b = -42

c = 108

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) + \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108)} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 + 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 39.25[/tex]

[tex]ii) \: x \: \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) - \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 - 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 2.75[/tex]

the 2 values of x are x = 39.25 and x = 2.75

substitute x = 39.25 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-39.25

y = 2.75

substitute x = 2.75 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-2.75

y = 39.25

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

Calculate the average time it took the car to travel 0.25 and 0.50 meters with two washers attached to the pulley. Record the averages, to two decimal places, in Table C of your Student Guide.

What is the average time it took the car to travel 0.25 meters?

seconds

What is the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters?

seconds

Answers

Answer:

1.92 second at 0.25 meters.

2.61 second at 0.50 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

the average 2 washers  on time travel of:

0.25 m : 1.94 / 1.95 / 1.87 = 1.92 second

0.50 m: 2.69 / 2.72 / 2.42 = 2.61 second

In this exercise we have to calculate the time that a car makes in a certain distance, in this way we find that:

A) In 0.25 meters in 1.92 second.

B) In 0.50 meters in 2.61 seconds.

We know that some information is given in the statement as:

In 0.25 meters the car speeds are: 1.94/ 1.95/ 1.87In 0.50 meters the car speeds are: 2.69 / 2.72 / 2.42

Knowing that the formula for calculating time is given by:

[tex]Time= Distance/Speed[/tex]

So we have:

A) [tex](1.94 +1.95 + 1.87)/3= 5.76\\0.25/5.76=1.92 s[/tex]

B)  [tex]2.69+ 2.72 + 2.42= 7,83\\0.50/7,83=2,61[/tex]

Answer:  10x - 1

==============================================

Explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x, and vice versa. This is true as long as x is not 0.

The multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5. These two values multiply to 1. This is true of any multiplicative inverse pairing.

----------

What we need to do is multiply 5 with (2x-1/5)

Use the distributive property to get the following

5*(2x-1/5)

5*(2x) - 5*(1/5)

10x - 5/5

10x - 1

I multiplied the outer 5 by each term inside (the 2x and 1/5) and simplified.
