Solve the absolute value equation. |2x-31| = 17​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24                            x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x-31| = 17​

Absolute value equations have 2 solutions, one positive and one negative

2x-31 = 17   and 2x-31 = -17

Add 31 to each side

2x-31+31 = 17+31   and 2x-31+31 = -17+31

2x = 48                          2x = 14

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 48/2                 2x/2 = 14/2

x = 24                            x = 7

Answer 2

Answer:

24

To find:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-31 = 17

2x=17+31

2x=48

x=48/2

x=24​

A flagpole casts a 40-foot shadow. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the tip of the flagpole is 32 degrees. how tall is the flagpole? round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answers

Apex: 25 feet is the correct answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

Take it or leave it:) Good Luck

The height of the pole is 25 foot (approximate)

What is angle of elevation?

The angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal line and a given observer’s line of sight. From its name, the angle of elevation represents the angle formed by the ground or base and the direction or the observer’s line of sight as the observer looks up at an object.

Given,

The shadow of the flagpole = 40 foot,

and the angle from the tip of the shadow to the tip of the flagpole = 32°

Perpendicular is the height of the pole and Base is its shadow.

Tan(x)=(perpendicular)÷(base)

Tan(32°) = 0.624869352

0.624869352 = (height of pole)÷40

0.624869352 x 40 = height of pole

24.9947741 = height of pole

Height of pole = 24.9947741

Height of pole ≈ 25 foot

Hence, tthe height of the pole is 25 foot (approximate)

b. Use the new formula to find the value of R given that
P = $350 and C = $520.

Answers

Answer:

a) R=P+C

b) $870

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

since P=R-C we can do the following to solve the equation for R:

P=R-C

P+C=R-C+C (add C to both sides to get R by itself)

P+C=R

b) P=350  C=520

R=350+520

R=870

Solve for x and y.

(please help asap)

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, let us find the third angle in the triangle which has a right angle and an acute angle of measure 52°

∵ The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ 52° + 90° + (6x + 14y)° = 180°

→ Add the like terms

∴ 142° + (6x + 14y) = 180°

→ Subtract 142° from both sides

(6x + 14y)° = 38° ⇒ (1)

→ By using the two triangles

∵ The two triangles are congruent

(15x - 8y) = 52° ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

→ Multiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by -2 to make the

   coefficients of x equal in values and different in signs

∵ 5(6x + 14y) = 5(38)

30x + 70y = 190 ⇒ (3)

∵ -2(15x - 8y) = -2(52)

-30x + 16y = -104 ⇒ (4)

→ Add equations (3) and (4) to eliminate x

∵ 86y = 86

→ Divide both sides by 86 to find y

y = 1

→ Substitute the value of y in equation (1) to find x

∵ 6x + 14(1) = 38

∴ 6x + 14 = 38

→ Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ 6x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 6

x = 4

A restaurant chef ordered 4 pounds of beef at $3.25 per pound, 6 pounds of potatoes at $1.96 a pound, and 5 pounds of carrots at $1.81 per pound. He estimates that this will make 28 meals. If he charges $20 per meal, how much profit will he make for each meal?

Answers

Answer:

Profit = $18.8 per meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Chef ordered beef = 4 pounds

Cost of beef = $3.25 per pound

Total cost of beef = 4 × 3.25 = $13

Amount of potatoes ordered = 6 pounds

Cost of potatoes = $1.96 per pound

Total cost of potatoes = 6 × 1.96

                                     = $11.76  

Amount of carrots ordered = 5 pounds

Cost of carrots = $1.81 per pound

Total cost of carrots = 5 × 1.81 = $9.05

Total amount of beef, potatoes and carrots = $13 + $11.76 + $9.05

                                                                        = $33.81

Number of meals prepared with material purchased = 28

Per meal cost = [tex]\frac{33.81}{28}[/tex] = $1.2075

Selling price of one meal = $20

Profit per meal = Selling price - Cost price

                         = 20 - 1.2075

                         = 18.7925

                         ≈ $18.8

Therefore, he will make $18.8 for each meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

5| 2n+8| +3 = 33

Subtract 3 from each side

5| 2n+8| +3-3 = 33-3

5| 2n+8| = 30

Divide by 5

5/5| 2n+8| = 30/5

| 2n+8| = 6

An absolute value equation has two solutions, one positive and one negative

2n+8 = 6              2n+8 = -6

Subtract 8 from each side

2n+8-8=6-8          2n+8-8 = -6-8

2n = -2                    2n = -14

Divide by 2

2n/2 = -2/2            2n/2 = -14/2

Explanation:

Remember, a simile is a figure of speech that makes an analogy or that compares one thing with another thing of a different kind using words like 'as', or 'like'.

Hence, what this entails is that the career one pursues is like "tools", and what constitutes a person's career or "tool" is their job ("a hammer or a screwdriver").

A survey asks students to name their favorite outdoor activity. 12 students say bike riding, 8 students say climbing trees, and 5 students say swimming. Mia says that 40% olf the students say their favorite activity is climbing trees. Is she correct? Explain

Answers

Answer:

Mia is incorrect. 32% of the students say climbing trees is their favorite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of the students that chose climbing trees = number of students that chose climbing trees ÷ total number of students surveyed × 100

Number of students that chose climbing trees = 8

Total number of students = those that chose riding bike + those that chose climbing trees + those that say swimming = 12 + 8 + 5 = 25

Therefore,

% of the students that say climbing trees = [tex] {8}{25}*100 = \frac{800}{25} = 32 [/tex].

Mia is wrong.

32% say climbing trees is their favorite. NOT 40%.
