Answer:

Part 1) $4-7x=15$

The value of x is $-\frac{11}{7}$

Part 2) $x=27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Simplify the given equation

we have

$6 - (3x + 10)+4(2 - x)=15$

In the left side, remove the parenthesis and apply the distributive property

Remember that

$(-1)(+1)=-1\\(-1)(-1)=+1$

$6 -3x-10+4(2)-4(x)=15$

$6 -3x-10+8-4x=15$

Combine like terms left side

$4-7x=15$

Adds 7x both sides

$4=15+7x$

subtract 15 both sides

$-11=7x$

Divide by 7 both sides

$x=-\frac{11}{7}$

Part 2) Solve for x.

$5(x + 1) = 4(x + 8)$

Apply distributive property both sides

$5x+5=4x+32$

Group terms that contain the same variable

$5x-4x=32-5$

Combine like terms

$x=27$

-2 + (–15) = –(2 + 15) what property is this equation

barxatty [35]

Hello.

The answer is: The Commutative property

The Commutative property states that order does not matter. Multiplication and addition are commutative. Commutative is also when you change the order of the equation but its still that same answer.

Have a nice day.

Each exterior angle in a regular polygon has a measure of 24 degrees. How many sides does the polygon have? Please you can help

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

Given the measure of each = 24°, then

number of sides = 360° ÷ 24° = 15

the pet shop owner told Jean to fill her new fish tank 3/4 full with water jean filled it 9/12 full.what fraction of the tank do

Bogdan [553]

The answer is no more water.

3/4=9/12

3/4
From 3 to 9 it is X3 and from 4 to 12 it is X3.So you take 3*3 which is nine and 4*3 which is 12 and now you have this

9/12=9/12

A local artist working at the town fair makes caricatures and portraits. The caricatures cost $4 to make white

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The artist should make 15 caricatures and 30 portraits.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we identify the variables for the problem. In this case, the variables will be:

C=number of caricatures

P= number of portraits.

Next, we can use the variables to make the inequalities that constrain the problem.

We know the artist can't spend more than $360 for supplies and we also know that it costs $4 to make a caricature and $10 to make a portrait, so:

$4C+10P\le 360$

We also know the artist has a limit of time of 20 hours, which is the same as 20*60=1200 minutes to paint. We know it takes her 20 minutes to make a caricature and 30 minutes to make a portrait, so:

$20C+30P\le 1200$

and we also know she must make a positive number of caricatures and a positive number of portraits so the other two constrains are:

$C\ge 0$

$P\ge 0$

So we can go ahead and graph them. (see attached picture)

Once we graphed the inequalities we can determine what the corners of the polygon created by the intersection of the shaded areas are, so we proceed and calculate them:

first point:

(0,0)

second point:

4(0)+10P=360

$P=\frac{360}{10}$

P=36

(0,36)

Third point:

20C+30(0)=1200

$C=\frac{1200}{20}$

C=60

(60,0)

Fourth point:

$4C+10P = 360$

$20C+30P = 1200$

We multiply the first equation by -5 so we get:

-20C-50P=-1800

20C+30P=1200

------------------------

-20P=-600

P=30

so:

20C+30(30)=1200

20C=1200-900

20C=300

C=15

(15,30)

Once we found the 4 points, we go ahead and evaluate them for the objective function. In this case, the objective function is the total amount of money she got from selling the pieces of art, so we get:

I=10C+20P

Point 1

I=10(0)+20(0)=0

Point 2

I=10(0)+20(36)=720

Point 3

I=10(60)+20(0)=600

Point 4

I=10(15)+20(30)=750

Next, we look for the greatest income which in this case will be 750 so that's why she must make 15 caricatures and 30 Portraits.
