The value of x from the given equation is 5/3

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0

Then we have,

UM + UD =  MD

5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80

Collect like terms

5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80

15x - 3x = 80 - 50

12x = 30

x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3

Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3

Two posts that hold up a sign are parallel. M &lt; 1 = 75° use the given measurements to find the value of x. I think it’s 19 bu
polet [3.4K]

The two posts are parallel lines. The ground is a transversal.

The angles measuring 4x and 75 are same side interior angles, so they are supplementary. Their measures add up to 180.

4x + 75 = 180

4x = 105

x = 26.25

-3(1-2x)-3=-20-8x what is the work and answer
larisa86 [58]
You have to keep order of operations in mind.

1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x

2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14

3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1

What is the common denominator 2 1/3+1/2?
nirvana33 [79]
Six. 2 1/3=7/3-> to get to have a denominator of 6 multiply by 2 to get 14/6
Then 1/2=3/6
14/6 + 3/6 = 17/6
17/6= 2 5/6

 Question 1128242: The product of the three ages, in years of three teenagers is 4590. None of the teens are the same ages. What are the ages of the three teen ages? (Use guess and check)

A hat and a jacket cost $100. The jacket cost $90 more than the hat. What are the cost of the hat and the cost of the jacket?

Melody picks a number. She doubles the number, squares are result, divide the square by 3 subtracts 30 from the quotient and gets 18. What are the possible numbers that Melody could have picked? What operation does Melody perform that prevents us from knowing 100% certainly which she picked?

Answer by greenestamps(9721) About Me  (Show Source):

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

These are three very different problems. The rules of the forum are one problem per post. Please follow those rules in the future.

(1) Certainly guess and check is the easiest way to solve this problem, since you know the three ages are whole numbers. But you should be able to get to the solution with very few if any wrong "guesses" by making your guesses logically.

The product of the three ages is a multiple of 10, and therefore a multiple of 5; since all three ages are in the teens, one of them has to be 15. Then 4590/15 = 306.

You could do guess and check again from there. However, if you note that both the other ages have to be greater than 15, and you know the last digit of the product has to be "6", then the only possible pair of ages is 17 and 18. And indeed 17*18 is 306.

ANSWER: The ages are 15, 17, and 18.

(2) Here is an informal solution method using logical reasoning.

Take away the "extra" $90 that the jacket costs; you are left with a jacket and a hat that each cost the same, and the total is now $100-$90 = $10. That means each of them costs $5. Now add those extra $90 back on to the price of the jacket.

ANSWER: The jacket costs $95; the hat costs $5.

(3) Melody picks a number: Call it x.

 

She doubles the number: It is now 2x.

She squares are result: It is now (2x)^2 = 4x^2.

She divides the square by 3: It is now 4x^2/3.

She subtracts 30 from the quotient: It is now 4x^2/3-30.

The number she ends up with is 18.

Solve the equation that says 4x^2/3-30 = 18:

4x%5E2%2F3-30+=+18

4x%5E2%2F3+=+48

4x%5E2+=+144

x%5E2+=+36

x+=+6 or x+=+-6

ANSWER: The two possible starting numbers are 6 and -6. We get two possible answers because of the step where she squares the number.
