If 9x + 2a =ac - bx, then x equals

Mathematics
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: x=\bold{\dfrac{a(c-2)}{9+b}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

9x + 2a = ac - bx

9x         = ac - bx - 2a    <em>subtracted 2a from both sides</em>

9x + bx = ac - 2a           <em>added bx to both sides</em>

x(9 + b) = a(c - 2)           <em>factored out x from the left and a from the right</em>

  x=\large\boxed{\dfrac{a(c-2)}{9+b}}\\          <em>divided both sides by 9+b</em>

(x+4)^2 / 9 - (y+3)^2 / 16 = 1


a^2 = 16 and b^2 = 9

a = +4 and -4

b = +3 and -3


Center is (-4, -3)

Vertices is (-4 + a, -3) and (-4 - a, -3)

Vertices is (-1, -3) and (-7, -3)

Suppose that 12% of test scores for the unit 1 test were above 85 and 8% were below 70. Assuming a normal
Doss [256]

Answer:

Mean = 78.2

Standard deviation = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically z-score;

= (x-mean)/SD

From the question;

12% of test scores were above 85

Thus;

P( x > 85) = 12%

P(x > 85) = 0.12

Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12

This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175

Thus;

1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD

let’s call the mean a and the SD b

1.175 = (85-a)/b

1.175b = 85 - a

a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)

Secondly 8% of scores were below 70

Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;

We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;

P( x < 70) = 0.08

z-score = -1.405

Thus;

-1.405 =( 70-a)/b

-1.405b = 70-a

a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)

Equate the two a

70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b

85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b

15 = 2.58b

b = 15/2.58

b = 5.81

a = 70 + 1.405b

a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)

a = 78.16

So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8

The perimeter of Δ ABC is 450 ft. If AB= 9x, BC=41x and CA=40x, what is the area of the triangle?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

A = 4500 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition:

The pre-meter P of a triangle ABC is equal to the sum of the length of its sides.

We know that:

P = 450\ ft\\AB = 9x\\BC = 41x\\CA = 40x

The perimeter is:

P = AB + BC + CA\\P = 450 = 9x + 41x + 40x\\90x = 450\\x = 5

Now we find the length of the sides:

AB = 45\\BC = 205\\CA = 200

Once the length of the sides is known, we use Heron's formula to calculate the area.

First I find the semiperimeter S.

S = 0.5(45 + 205 +200)\\S = 225

Then the Area is:

A = \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-BC)(s-CA)}\\\\A = \sqrt{225(225-45)(225-205)(225-200)}\\\\A = 4500\ ft^2

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Part a) x=18\ tickets, y=\$33.50

Part b) y=0.75x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------>  the number of ride tickets.

k-----> constant that represent the cost for festival admission

y----> the total cost

we know that

y=0.75x+k

we have that

x=18\ tickets

y=\$33.50

substitute the values

33.50=0.75(18)+k

solve for k

k=33.50-0.75(18)

k=\$20

The linear equation to calculate the cost for anyone who only pays for festival admission and rides is equal to

y=0.75x+20
