Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct

The solution is:
Answer:  x = 9

After completing the fraction division 5 divided by five-thirds, Miko used the multiplication shown to check her work. 3 times f
Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

5 divided by five-thirds can be written in the fractional form is as follows :

\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}

It can be also written as :

\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{5}{3}}=5\times \dfrac{3}{5}\\\\=3

He has done calculations as follows :

3 x 5/3=3/1 x 5/3 = 15/3 or 5

Miko was wrong in the first step where he multiplied 3 by (5/3). It should be 5 multiplied by (3/5). He has done multiplication incorrectly.

If a printer prints 28 copies in 1 minute how many would it print in 3 minutes and 45 seconds?
Wittaler [7]

3minutes 45 seconds = 3 45/60 = 3.75 minutes

28 copies/ 1 minute = x copies/3.75 minutes

using cross products

28 * 3.75 = 1 * x

105 = x

We can print 105 copies in 3 3/4 minutes

Helppppppppppppppppp asappppppp
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per picture:</u>

∠PTQ  and ∠RTS are vertical angles and they are equal

  • ∠PTQ = (x + 28)°
  • ∠RTS = (2x + 16)°
  • ∠PTQ  = ∠RTS
  • x + 28 = 2x + 16
  • 2x - x = 28 - 16
  • x = 12

∠PTR is supplementary with ∠PTQ  and their sum is 180°

  • ∠PTQ = 12 + 28 = 40°
  • ∠PTR = 180 - 40 = 140°
