Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

         3(-4x + 5) = 12

To solve for x;

  Use the distributive property to open the parentheses;

     3(-4x) + 3(5) = 12

      -12x + 15 = 12

 then, add -15 to both sides;

    -12x + 15 + (-15) = 12 + (-15)

            -12x  = -3

  divide both sides by -12;

        [tex]\frac{-12x}{-12}[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{-3}{-12}[/tex]

           x  = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Quadrilateral WXYZ is a square. If WT=6, find each measure?

Answers

We know that the diagonals of a square bisect each other which results in the formation of 4 - 90° angles . Which means ZX = 2 × WT . Then ,

= ZX = 2 × 6

= ZX = 12 ( ZX is a diagonal )

Side XY =

XY = √2 d/2

XY = √2 . 12/2

XY = 8.48528

m∠WTZ = 90° ( as the diagonals of a square intersect to form a complete angle ( 360° ) which is divided into four equal parts , each part being 90° )

m∠WTZ = 90°

m∠WYX = 45° ( WYX is half of one of the interior angles in this square which will mean it will be equal to 45° )

Therefore , m∠WYX = 45°

In short :

ZX = 12

XY = 8.48528

m∠WTZ = 90°

m∠WYX = 45°

2:     1:4 scale factor

4: 4/5 = x/15. 5x=60. x is 12

6: it's a 2:7 ratio. so x would be 8 and y would be 35

8... it's a 4:7 ratio, as both 52 and 91 are divisible by 13 so there's the scale factor

What is Unitary Method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

First, let us make a note of the information we have. There are 5 ice-creams. 5 ice-creams cost $125.

Step 1: Let’s find the cost of 1 ice cream. In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams. The cost of 1 ice-cream = Total cost of ice-creams/Total number of ice-creams = 125/5 = 25. Therefore, the cost of 1 ice cream is $25.

Step 2: To find the cost of 3 ice-creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice cream by the number of ice-creams. The cost of 3 ice-creams is cost of 1 ice-cream × number of ice-creams = 25 × 3 = $75. Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. $75.

Given:

For cotton:

5.54 ÷ 3/4

=7.39<8

For flannel:

2.62 ÷ 3/4

=3.49<8

For fleece:

4.27 ÷ 3/4

=5.69 < 8

For terry cloth:

=6.52 ÷ 3/4

= 8.69>8

So, cost less than $8 per yard cotton, flannel and fleece.

What is Polynomial?

Polynomials are expressions of the form,

a₀ + a₁ x + a₂ x² + ................. + aₙ₋₁ xⁿ⁻1 + aₙ xⁿ

where a's are the coefficients, x is the variable and n is the number of terms.

1. 36

36 can be written as 36 x⁰.

This is a constant polynomial.

Since there is only one term, it is monomial.

2. [tex]\frac{3}{q^{2} }[/tex] + 5

This can be written as 3 q⁻² + 5.

The exponent of the variable is not a whole number, so is not a polynomial.

3. 7x - x + 5

This can be written as 6x + 5.

This is a polynomial and is binomial since there are two terms.

4. 8g²h - 7gh + 2

This is a polynomial in two variables.

This is a trinomial, as there are three terms.

5. [tex]\frac{1}{4y^{2} }[/tex] + 5y - 8

This can be written as 1/4 y⁻² + 5y - 8

This is not  a polynomial as the exponent is not a whole number.

What is Intercept?

The points where a line crosses an axis are known as the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively.

When you know the slope of the line to be investigated and the given point is also the y intercept, you can utilise the slope intercept formula, y = mx + b. (0, b). The y value of the y intercept point is denoted by the symbol b in the formula.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this before

The mean absolute deviation of kai's test scores is 3.2.

What is mean absolute deviation?

The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean.

According to the given question

We have

the given data 92, 88, 90, 96, 84

For calculating mean absolute deviation

we will first calculate mean

mean = [tex]\frac{92+88+90+96+84}{5} =\frac{450}{5} = 90[/tex]

Now we will calculate the distance between each data point and the mean :

|92 -90| =2|88-90|  =2|90-90| =0|96-90| = 6|84 -90| = 6

Add the distances together

2+2+0+6+6 = 16

Divide the sum by number of data points.

MAD( mean absolute deviation ) = [tex]\frac{16}{5} =3.2[/tex]

Hence, the mean absolute deviation of Kai's test scores is 3.2.

Kayla paid $27.50 for a pair of gloves. The cost of the gloves is $8.75 more than the cost of a scarf. Which equation can be used to find the cost of the scarf?

Answers

Answer:

You can use subtraction

Step-by-step explanation:

$27.50 - $8.75 = $18.75 (cost of scarf)

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

the gloves cost 27.50 dollars and if the scarf cost 8.75 dollrs more then that means that if we subtract that extra mount we should get the price of the scarf

if $18.75 is the cost of scarf and if gloves are $8.75 more then...

$18.75 (scarf) + $8.75 (extra $) = $27.50 (gloves)

Determine the acceleration that an unbalanced force of 28 N gives to a 6.8 kg mass. Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)(MC)STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerptBy S. E. Forman1911THE MATCHThere never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by natureby a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.Which sentence from the text describes a problem with Walker's match that the phosphorus match tried to solve? A. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out.B. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one.C.
