Answer:

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\sf \dfrac{1}{5}x-\dfrac{2}{3}y=30

<u><em>Steps:</em></u>

1. Substitute 15 as the value of y in the equation:

\sf \dfrac{1}{5}x-\dfrac{2}{3}(15)=30\ \textsf{[ multiply ]}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{5}x-\dfrac{30}{3}=30\ \textsf{[ simplify ]}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{5}x-10=30

2. Add 10 to both sides:

\sf \dfrac{1}{5}x-10+10=30+10\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{5}x=40

3. Multiply both sides by 5 to isolate x:

\sf 5\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)x=5(40)\\\\\Rightarrow x=200

4. Check your work:

\sf \dfrac{1}{5}x-\dfrac{2}{3}y=30\ \textsf{[ substitute 200 for x, and 15 for y ]}\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}(200)-\dfrac{2}{3}(15)=30\ \textsf{[ multiply ]}\\\\\dfrac{200}{5}-\dfrac{30}{3}=30\ \textsf{[ divide ]}\\\\40-10=30\ \textsf{[ subtract ]}\\\\30=30\ \checkmark

Hey there!

  • Answer :

\boxed{\bold{\green{ x = 200}}}

\\

  • Explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>expression </u><u>:</u><u> </u>

\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  \frac{2}{3} \orange{y} = 30 }

1) <em>Substitue 15 for</em> \sf{\orange{y}} :

\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  \frac{2}{3} \orange{ \times 15} = 30 } \\  \\  \implies\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  \frac{30}{3}  = 30 }  \\  \\  \implies\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  10= 30 }

\\

2) Solve for x :

\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  10= 30 }

⇢<u>Add</u> 10 <u>to both sides of the equation</u> :

\sf{ \frac{1}{5} \green{x} -  10  \:  \bold{+  \: 10}= 30   \: \bold{+   \: 10 }}  \\  \\   \implies \sf{\frac{1}{5} \green{x} \:  = 40 } \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

⇢<u>Multiply both </u><u>sides</u><u> of the equation</u> by 5:

\Big( \dfrac{1}{5}  \green{x}\Big)  \: \bold{ \times  \: 5}=40  \: \bold{ \times \:  5} \\  \\  \implies  \sf{\dfrac{5}{5}  \green{x} \:  = 200} \\  \\   \implies   \green{ \boxed{\sf{x = 200}}}

\\

3) Let's check our answer by replacing \green{x} with 200 and \orange{y} with 15 :

\sf{\dfrac{1}{5}\overbrace{\green{\times \: 200}}^{\green{x}} - \dfrac{2}{3}\underbrace{\orange{\times \:15}}_{\orange{y}}= \dfrac{200}{5}  -   \dfrac{30}{30}  = 40 - 10 = \boxed{ 30} }

\\ \\

Example 2
Arada [10]

Answer:

y=x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have drawn the graph of y = x^2 - 3x + 1.

To determine the equation of the line which  should be drawn to solve the equation:  x² - 4x +3=0

Simply carry out the subtraction: x^2 - 3x + 1 -(x^2 - 4x +3)

\implies x^2 -3x + 1-x^2 + 4x -3 \\= x^2 - x^2+ 4x - 3x-3  + 1\\=x-2

The equation of the line which should be drawn is: y=x-2

What this means is simply:

If

y = x^2 - 3x + 1$ and $y=x-2,$ then:\\x^2 - 3x + 1=x-2\\x^2 - 3x + 1-x+2=0\\x^2 - 4x + 3=0

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large
sergey [27]

Answer:

R = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a spherical shape is given by :

A=4\pi r^2

Where

r is the radius of the sphere

ATQ,

One large bubble separates into four small bubbles so that the total area of the small bubbles is equal to the area of the large bubble.

The radius of each small bubble is 5 cm

Using the given condition,

4\pi R^2=4\times (4\pi r^2)\\\\R^2=4r^2\\\\R=\sqrt{4r^2} \\\\R=2r\\\\R=2\times 5\\\\R=10\ cm

So, the radius of the large bubble is equal to 10 cm.

Please do the agree or disagree part and justification
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

<em>We disagree with Zach and Delia and agree with Alicia</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable that the function can take according to given rules or restrictions.

The range is the set of values the dependent variable can take for every possible value of the domain.

The graph shows a continuous line representing the values of the function. We must take a careful look to the values of x (horizontal axis) where the function exists. It can be done by drawing an imaginary vertical line passing through the value of x. If that line touches the graph of the function, it belongs to the domain. It's clear that every value of x between -5 and 3 (both inclusive because there are solid dots in the extremes) belong to the domain:

Domain: -5\leq x \leq 3

The range is obtained in a similar way as the domain, but the imaginary lines must be horizontal. That gives us the values of y range from -7 to 5 both inclusive:

Range:

-7\leq y \leq 5

Thus we disagree with Zach and Delia and agree with Alicia
