Mathematics
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand

    8x - 5x + 5 = 20

2. Simplify

    3x + 5 = 20

3. Subtract 5 from both sides

    3x = 20 - 5

4. Simplify

    3x = 15

5. Divide both sides by 3

    x = 15/3

6. Simplify

    x = 5

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399

Find 50% of 36:<br> Find 25% of 36:<br> Find 75% of 36:
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

18, 9, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

36 ÷ 2 = 18. Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 50%.

36 ÷ 4 = 9. Dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by 25%.

Since 25% • 3 = 75%, you can do 9 (from previous) • 3 to get 27.

The ball used in a soccer game may not weigh more than 16 ounces or less
Liono4ka [1.6K]
In order for the ball to be used in the game, it must be able to meet the minimum and maximum weight requirements. These are the limits of the weight of the ball. If it exceeds the maximum limit of 16 ounces or below the minimum limit of 14 ounces, the ball will not be approved.

So, by adding 1.5 ounces, that would mean that the initial weight of the ball did not reach the minimum limit. The initial weight of the ball, denoted as x, have two possible values. The first value is the initial weight plus added with 1.5 ounces would reach 14 ounces.

x + 1.5 = 14
x = 12.5 ounces

The other scenario is when the initial weight is added to reach the maximum requirement of 16 ounces

x + 1.5 = 16
x = 14.5 ounces

From both answer, we could conclude that the initial weight has to be 12.5 ounces. If the initial weight were 14.5 ounces to begin with, there should be no need for air. It cans till be approved to be used.

There were 200,000 animals of a certain species in 1980. Since then,this number has decreased by 4.5% each year. Approximately h
g100num [7]

Answer: Approximately 25187 animals of this species will be left in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the population of animals after x years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population of animals.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

b = 200000

r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

x = 2025 - 1980 = 45 years

Therefore,

y = 200000(1 - 0.045)^45

y = 200000(0.955)^45

y = 25187

Which expression is equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<em>I misunderstood the question before, but here are two expressions equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8. </em>

71/72 + 70/72 +4/72

-1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8

<em>Solved: -2 1/72</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I could simply take the answer you get when combining all of the fractions, and I can make a new expression out of it. For example, I could use: 71/72+ 70/72+4/72. Or I could break apart all of the original fractions into smaller fractions. Example: -1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8.

<em>To solve: Start by combining -4/7 and 4/7 to make 0, shortening your equation. Then continue by making the fractions remaining, 8/9 and -9/8, have a common denominator. To do this, we multiply -8/9 by 8, and -9/8 by 9. Then, we have -64/72 and -81/72. Then, we can combine the numerators of the fractions, as they have common denominators, and we get the fraction -145/72. We can then simplify this to -2 1/72.</em>

<em>Hope this helps!</em>
