Answer: it means multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
False because it is only showing the quarter
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
just put in 5 for x
8 seconds
The hardest part of this is setting up the equation -- the calculations are pretty easy.
You're told that the time (needed to go from 0 to 100 MPH) is inversely proportional to the horsepower: what this means is that as horsepower gets larger, time gets smaller. This makes sense since the more horsepower you have, the less time it will take you to get to 100 MPH
You can think of this as:
200 HP = 10 seconds
250 HP = x seconds
You set the equation up as:
250 HP / 200 HP = 10 sec / x sec
Now, just cross multiply and solve:
250 / 200 = 10 / x
250x = (200 x 10)
250x = 2000
x = 2000 / 250
x = 8
So, as you increase the horsepower from 200 to 250, the time decreases from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
Hope this helps!
Good luck.
Answers:
- x = 4
- AB = 36
- BC = 36
- AC = 36
All three sides are 36 units long.
===========================================================
Explanation:
Triangle ABC is equilateral, so all three sides are the same length.
Pick any two of those sides, set them equal to each other, and solve for x
AB = BC
8x+4 = 11x-8
8x-11x = -8-4
-3x = -12
x = -12/(-3)
x = 4
Use this x value to find each side. We should get the same value (if not, then an error occurred in solving for x).
- AB = 8x+4 = 8*4+4 = 32+4 = 36
- BC = 11x-8 = 11*4-8 = 44-8 = 36
- AC = 9x = 9*4 = 36
We get the same value for the three side lengths, so this confirms we have the correct x value.
