Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given:
√2x+3 - √x+1 = 1
First of all isolate the square root of the left hand side:
√2x+3 = √x+1 +1
Now take square on both sides.
(√2x+3)^2 = (√x+1 +1)^2
Open the R.H.S by squaring formula.
∴(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
2x+3 = (√x+1)^2 + 2(√x+1)(1)+(1)^2
2x+3 = x+1 +2√x+1 +1
2x+3 = x+2 +2√x+1
Combine the like terms:
2x-x+3-2 = 2√x+1
x+1 = 2√x+1
Take square on both sides
(x+1)^2 = (2√x+1)^2
x²+2x+1 = 4x+4
x²+2x-4x+1-4 = 0
x²-2x-3 = 0
Now solve the quadratic equation:
a = 1 , b= -2 , c = -3
x = -b+/-√b²-4ac/2a
x = -(-2)+/-√(-2)² - 4(1)(-3) / 2(1)
x = 2 +/- √4+12 / 2
x = 2+/- √16/2
x = 2+/- 4 /2
x = 2+4/2 , x = 2-4/2
x = 6/2 , x = -2/2
x = 3 , x = -1
The solutions we get is (3, -1).
Answer:
He bought 544 oranges and 1,360 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the number of oranges and apples bought
Let the number of oranges be x and the number of apples be y
Looking at their ratios;
x:y = 2:5
so;
x/y = 2/5
2y = 5x ••••••(i)
Now, he lost 3/4 of the apples ( by giving out)
What would be left with him is (1-3/4) = 1/4 * y = 0.25y
What is left with him out if the oranges will be; x-34
So now;
0.25y/x-34 = 2/3
3(0.25y) = 2(x-34) •••••••(ii)
From i, y = 5x/2 = 2.5x
Putting this into ii above, we have
3(0.25)(2.5x) = 2x - 68
1.875x = 2x-68
2x-1.875x = 68
0.125x = 68
x = 68/0.125
x = 544
But y = 2.5x
y = 2.5 * 544 = 1,360
8 1/2 - 7 2/3 = 5/6
I hope this helps you out.
Answer:
y = 3x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x - 8 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line
To find c substitute (- 6, - 17 ) into the partial equation
- 17 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 17 + 18 = 1
y = 3x + 1 ← equation in slope- intercept form
