For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55

For this case we have the following system of equations:
 Equilibrium equation:
 60 * d1 = 50 * d2
 Total distance:
 d1 + d2 = 12
 Solving the equations we have:
 d1 = 5.45 feet
 d2 = 6.55 feet
 Answer:
 
the distances d1 and d2 have to be:
 d1 = 5.45 feet
 d2 = 6.55 feet

PLEASE HELP!!!
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34

4x + 20 = 9x + 4x − 34   [Distributive]

4x + 20 =  13x − 34         {Combine Like Terms]

4x - 13x + 20 = 13x - 13x − 34  [Subtractive:  -13x both sides]

-5x + 20 = - 34            [Combine Like Terms]

-5x + 20 - 20 = -34 - 20     [Subtractive:  - 20 both sides]

-5x  = -54               [Combine Like Terms]

x = -54/-5             [Division Property:  divide both sides by -5]

x =  - 10 4/5

I think there are 12 possible outcomes in the sample space. Because if you put one crust with one topping for each crust and topping it equals up to 12.
