Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we simply add the coefficients of x to give us our answer:

3 + 5 = 8

So our answer is 8x

One way to put this into perspective is to imagine x is the number of apples:

If you add 3 apples and 5 apples you get 8 apples.

Always do this trick when collecting like terms in algebra.

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)

A tank initially has 300 gallons of a solution that contains 50 lb. of dissolved salt. A brine solution with a concentration of

belka [17]

Let s(t) be the amount of salt in the tank at time t. Then s(0) = 50 lb.

Salt flows into the tank at a rate of

(2 gal/min) (6 lb/gal) = 12 lb/min

and flows out at a rate of

(2 gal/min) (s(t)/300 lb/gal) = s(t)/150 lb/min

so that the net rate at which salt is exchanged through the tank is

ds(t)/dt = 12 - s(t)/150 … (lb/min)

Solve for s(t). The DE is separable, so we have

ds/dt = 12 - s/150

150 ds/dt = 1800 - s

150/(1800 - s) ds = dt

Integrate both sides to get

-150 ln|1800 - s| = t + C

Solve for s :

ln|1800 - s| = -t/150 + C

1800 - s = exp(-t/150 + C )

1800 - s = C exp(-t/150)

s = 1800 - C exp(-t/150)

Now given that s(0) = 50, we solve for C :

50 = 1800 - C exp(-0/150)

50 = 1800 - C

C = 1750

Then the amount of salt in the tank at any time t ≥ 0 is

s(t) = 1800 - 1750 exp(-t/150)

To find the time it takes for the tank to hold 100 lb of salt, solve for t in

100 = 1800 - 1750 exp(-t/150)

1700 = 1750 exp(-t/150)

34/35 = exp(-t/150)

ln(34/35) = -t/150

t = -150 ln(34/35) ≈ 4.348

So it would take approximately 4.348 minutes.

By the way, we didn't have to solve for s(t), we could have instead stopped with

-150 ln|1800 - s| = t + C

Solve for C - this C is not the same as the one we found using the other method. s(0) = 50, so

-150 ln|1800 - 50| = 0 + C

C = -150 ln|1750|

==> t = 150 ln(1750) - 150 ln|1800 - s|

Then s(t) = 100 lb when

t = 150 ln(1750) - 150 ln(1700)

t = 150 ln(1750/1700)

t = 150 ln(35/34)

t ≈ 4.348

Preethi writes fifteen 1s in a row and randomly writes + and - between each pair of consecutive 1s. Find the probability that th

amid [387]

Answer:

The probability that the expression Preeti wrote has the value 7 cannot be easily determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Preeti writes

111111111111111,

then randomly writes + and - between each pair of consecutive 1's.

It is not specified that the + and - signs are written to be alternating, they are said to be just 'random'. So, there are a lot of possibilities. Things like:

1+1-1+1+1-1+1-1-1-1+1+1-1+1-1 = 1

1-1-1+1+1-1-1+1+1-1+1-1+1+1-1 = -1

1-1+1-1-1+1-1+1+1-1-1+1-1+1+1 = 0

And so on. There is a lot of possibilities.

So, clearly, the probability is difficult to determine, as the expression Preeti wrote could have had the value 7 in many different forms.

Because:

1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1 = 7

1+1+1+1-1-1-1-1-1+1-1-1-1+1+1 = 7

And many more.

Therefore, the probability that the expression Preeti wrote has the value 7 cannot be easily determined.
