The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40. The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35. To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)
2x + 40 = 3x + 35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
2x + 5 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
5 = x
So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(a+1.5)=-1.5
a+1.5 = - 1.5/3 = - 0.5
a = - 0.5 - 1.5 = - 2
A cross section is the shape we get when cutting straight through an object. In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. cylinder cross section.The cross section of this circular cylinder is a circle.
Answer:
The correct option is:
The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The students has made a mistake in the 3rd step.
We know that when we multiply or divide any negative number on both sides of the inequality, the sign of inequality reverse its direction.
In step 3 the student divided 25 by -5 but did not switch direction of the inequality sign.
Therefore the correct option is: The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer
5<em>x</em>² - 7<em>x</em> + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em>) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em> + 49/100 - 49/100) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 2 • 7/10 <em>x</em> + (7/10)²) - 49/20 + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² - 9/20 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/20
(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/100
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± √(9/100)
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 7/10 ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 10/10 = 1 or <em>x</em> = 4/10 = 2/5
