Which operation would you use to solve for x in the equation 3x = 15?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Division

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 3 times x so, you must do the opposite of multiplication to get rid of the 3, which is division.

Answer 2

The solution of the equation with a single variable  3x = 15 will be 5.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

The definition of simplicity is making something simpler to achieve or grasp while also making it a little less difficult.

The equation is given below.

3x = 15

Divide the equation by 3 into both sides, then we have

3x / 3 = 15 / 3

x = 5

The solution of the equation with a single variable  3x = 15 will be 5.

Once again, these types of evaluation problems are very straightforward, and are usually always easy points on tests and quizzes if you have an inkling of an idea of what the concept is about. Again, if you have a calculator with all the appropriate functions, that makes it even easier.

Speaking from experience, when you work with rational (fraction) polynomials on paper, it often tends to take up a bit of space and get messy. Therefore, I'd suggest you tried solving one equation at a time if you have the same issue.

Also, sometimes you may come across values that you don't want to type again in your calculator (like non-recurring decimals). For these, use the store function on your calculator to get maximum accuracy. With TI-84 and 83s, you can save values as letters (X, Y, etc.). Hence, you can just write out your equation using these, and hence significantly reduce the risk of typing the number wrong, while saving yourself some time.

Answers

Answer:

A. -8x⁷ + 18x⁵y⁵ - 12x²y⁴ + 27y⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2x⁵ + 3y⁴)(-4x² + 9y⁴)

Required:

Find an equivalent polynomial

Solution:

(2x⁵ + 3y⁴)(-4x² + 9y⁴)

Using distributive property of multiplication

2x⁵(-4x² + 9y⁴) + 3y⁴(-4x² + 9y⁴)

-8x⁷ + 18x⁵y⁴ - 12x²y⁴ + 27y⁸

There are no like terms to add or combine, therefore:

(2x⁵ + 3y⁴)(-4x² + 9y⁴) = -8x⁷ + 18x⁵y⁵ - 12x²y⁴ + 27y⁸

In a survey, of the voters support a particular referendum. If 40 voters are chosen at random, find the mean and variance for the number of voters who support the referendum.

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In a survey, 55% of the voters support a particular referendum. If 40 voters are chosen at random,

find the mean and variance for the number of voters who support the referendum.

Answer:

a) The Mean is 22

b) Variance is 9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

55% of the voters support a particular referendum p = 0.55

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45

sample size n = 40

a)

Mean = sample size n × p

Mean = 40 × 0.55

Mean = 22

Therefore the Mean is 22

b)

Variance = n × p × q

so we substitute

Variance = 40 × 0.55 × 0.45

Variance = 9.9

Therefore the Variance is 9.9

A volunteer is buying 10 blankets for the animal shelter. Shipping the blankets will cost $12 and the volunteer has $75 total to spend. What is the maximum amount the volunteer can spend for each blanket? Write an inequality that would represent the situation and solve the inequality. Show your work to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 blankets with an unidentified price plus 12 for shipping is equal to 75

10x+12=75

minus 12 from both sides

10x=63

divide 10 from both sides

x=6.3

Now, let's prove the answer is true.

10x+12=75

Replace x with 6.3

10(6.3)+12=75

10 times 6.3

63+12=75

75=75

the 200th term of the arithmetic progression 10 97,94,91,.............is​

Answers

Answer:

-500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence;

    97, 94, 91 ......

Unknown;

The 200th term of the sequence;

Solution:

Since we were given an arithmetic progression, we need to first find the common difference;

 Common difference  = second term - first term

                                     = 94 - 97  

                                     = -3

To find the 200th term, we use the expression below;

     Sn  = a + (n-1)d

   a is the first term

    n is the nth term

   d is the common difference

 S₂₀₀ = 97 + (200 - 1 ) x -3 = -500
