C = 220T + 1890.

Solve the equation for T.

220T = C - 1890

T = C/220 - 8.6

The steel produced is expected to be sold at a price of $310 per ton.

310 $/ton is a rate or slope. Write a linear equation where x is tons of steel produced and y is selling price of the steel.

y = 310x

Write and solve an equation to find the amount of steel produced if the selling price is equal to the cost of production.

* Here, note that the cost of production and tons of steel in the first equation is in the millions. The equation we just wrote for the selling price was in x tons of steel. This only matters in regards to the units you specify because; million/million = 1

The unit multiplier of all variables must be specified as same. Either everything is in millions or not.

Here, I'll leave everything in millions, change x (tons of steel) to T (mill tons steel) and "y" to "S" in million dollars selling price.

S = 310T

Set equal to Cost equation.

220T + 1980 = 310T

Solve for T, million tons of steel produced.

1980 = 310T - 220T

1980 = 90T

T = 1980/90

T = 22 million tons steel produced

If | 8x -2 | < 4, Which of the following is true of x? Explain as well.

wariber [46]

The true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75

<h3>What are inequality expressions?</h3>

Inequality expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators where the opposite sides are not equal

<h3>How to determine the true expression of the variable x?</h3>

The inequality expression is given as

|8x - 2| < 4

Divide through the above equations by 2

So, we have the following inequality expression

|4x - 1| < 2

Remove the absolute value sign from the inequality expression

So, we have

-2 < 4x - 1 < 2

Add 1 to all sides of the above inequality expression

So, we have

-1 < 4x < 3

Divide through the above inequality expression by 4

So, we have

-0.25 < x < 0.75

Hence, the true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75

How do I solve these equations

Sever21 [200]

You need to know the properties of each function.
Tan is opposite (y) over adjacent (x). Sin>0 means that sin is positive, therefore, it is located on either quadrant 1 or 2. Tan=4/3 so it is located in quadrant 1.
The side of the triangle must be Adjacent=3 opposite=4 and hypotenuse=5
Now, you are asked to find the half angle of Cos which is
$\sqrt{\frac{1+cos}{2} }$
By following the formula, cos=3/5 then:
$\sqrt{ \frac{1- \frac{3}{5} }{2} }$ Multiply everything (inside the square $\sqrt{ \frac{5+3}{10} }$ root) by 5
$\frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{10} }$
$\frac{2 \sqrt{20} }{10}$ Then just simplify
$\frac{ \sqrt{20} }{5}$ The answer is Square root of 20 over 5
