Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve both equations:

1) 9x = 5x + 4

Simplifying

9x = 5x + 4

Reorder the terms:

9x = 4 + 5x

Solving

9x = 4 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

9x + -5x = 4 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x

4x = 4 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

4x = 4 + 0

4x = 4

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1

2) 14x = 4

14x = 4 (divide both sides by 14 to get x)

14x/14 = 4/14

x = 0.285714285714

As you can see, the value of x in the second equations is less than one, therefore making these algebraic equations not equivalent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x=5x+4 and 14x=4

9x= 5x+4

Subtract 5x from each side

9x-5x = 5x+4-5x

4x= 4

The equations are not the same

A semicircle has the radius of 2 4/5. What is its area? leave your answers in term of π

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

r = Radius of semicircle = $2\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{24}{5}\ \text{units}$

Area of semicircle is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi \left(\dfrac{24}{5}\right)^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{288}{25}\pi=11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi\ \text{sq. units}$

The area of the semicircle is $11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi\ \text{sq. units}$ .

Root 8-3 root 32 + 4 root 50

Bess [88]

Answer:

$10\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{8} -3\sqrt{32} +4\sqrt{50}$

We can try to simplify first.

$2\sqrt{2}-12\sqrt{2} +20\sqrt{2}$

Now we can combine the like terms:

$= 10\sqrt{2}$

hope this helped! :)

Help please!!!

1. I feel the need to explain things first before I write the numeric value.
Let x be the total number of students in the school. 25% of this value is given to be 35.
(0.25)x = 35
The value of x is 140. 75% of this value is the answer which is equal to 105.

2. Let y be the alternative schools. With this, the number of charter schools is 2x - 6 which is equal to 52
2x - 6 = 52
The value of x is 29. Therefore, there are 29 charter schools.
