The equation 2x - 12 = 2(x-10)-87 has no solutions.

Given: To find the value of x: 2x - 12 = 2(x - 10) - 87

What are algebraic expressions?

Algebraic expressions are sequences or combinations of characters containing letters, numbers, symbols, operators, and variables which are used to derive a certain relation among all of them.

What is an algebraic equation?

When an algebraic expression has a value it becomes an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation helps to make a relation between different variables for a problem.

Let's solve the question.

2x - 12 = 2(x - 10) - 87

Adding 12 on both sides:

2x - 12 + 12 = 2(x-10) - 87 + 12

=> 2x = 2(x -10) - 75

=> 2x = 2x - 20 - 75

=> 2x = 2x - 95

Adding -2x on both sides:

2x - 2x = 2x - 95 - 2x

0 = -95

This is contradictory.

The equation is independent of x, and 0 = -95 is false. Therefore, the equation has no solutions.

Hence the equation 2x - 12 = 2(x-10)-87 has no solutions.

for all values of x , a function f is defined by f(x)=x^2+7x+12 if f(a)=2, what could be the value of a?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a = -2 or a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want $f(a) = a^2 + 7a + 12 = 2$ . We can subtract 2 from both sides of this equation to get $a^2+7a+10=0$ . We can factor this to get that $(a+2)(a+5)=0$ . When the product of two numbers is equal to zero, one of the numbers must be equal to zero. This means that either a + 2 = 0, in which case a = -2, or a + 5 = 0, in which case a = -5.

The following is a linear programming formulation of a labor planning problem. There are four overlapping shifts, and management

dexar [7]

Answer:

d. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the values in the shift 2 function

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

where x1= 13, and x2=2

13+12≥ 15

15≥ 15

At least 15 workers must be assigned to the shift 2.

The LP model questions require that the constraints are satisfied.

The constraint for the shift 2 is that the number of workers must be equal or greater than 15

This can be solved using other constraint functions e.g

Putting X4= 0 in

X1 + X4 ≥ 12

gives

X1 ≥ 12

Now Putting the value X1 ≥ 12 in shift 2 constraint

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

12+ 2≥ 15

14 ≥ 15

this does not satisfy the condition so this is wrong.

Now from

X2 + X3 ≥ 16

Putting X3= 14

X2 + 14 ≥ 16

gives

X2 ≥ 2

Putting these in the shift 2

X1 + X2 ≥ 15

13+2 ≥ 15

15 ≥ 15

Which gives the same result as above.

What is the solution of the system of linear equations below?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the fastest answer for these kind of questions, you just have to apply (0, -2) into either one of the 2 equations:

2 * 0 - 6 * (-2) = 12

0 - (-12) =12

0 + 12 = 12 (TRUE)

So the solution will be (0, -2)

A linear regression is done on data the line of best fit is y= 1.25x-6.25. What is the residual for the point (1,1)?

Damm [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the predicted y value when x=1:

$\hat{y}=1.25x-6.25\\\hat{y}=1.25(1)-6.25\\\hat{y}=1.25-6.25\\\hat{y}=-5$

Find the residual:

$\text{Residual}=\text{Actual Value}-\text{Predicted Value}\\\text{Residual}=y-\hat{y}\\\text{Residual}=1-(-5)\\\text{Residual}=1+5\\\text{Residual}=6$

Because our residual is positive, this is an indicator that our predicted y value is too low.
