5x - 4 = -3x + 12.

move -3x to the other side

sign changes to +3x

5x+3x-4= -3x+3x+12

5x+3x-4= 12

move -4 to the other side

sign changes to +4

5x+3x-4+4= 12+4

8x= 16

divide by 8 for both sides

8x/8= 16/8

x= 2

Answer: x= 2

Twenty toothpicks, each 6 cm long, form a figure consisting of six equilateral triangles and a rectangle as shown. What is the t

Roman55 [17]

The total area of the figure is 139.20 square centimeters

Areas

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies

<h3>Composite figure</h3>

The figure (see attachment) is a composite figure, and the total area is the sum of the areas of each shape that makes up the complete figure

The shape has 6 equilateral triangles, each of which has an area of:

$A_1 = \sqrt{\frac{3s^2}{4}}$

Where:

$s = 6$ --- the length of each toothpick

The area of the rectangle is then represented as:

$A_2 =3s \times s$

$A_2 =3s^2$

So, the total area of the figure is:

$Total = 6A_1 + A_2$

This gives

$Total =6 \times \sqrt{\frac{3s^2}{4}} + 3s^2$

Substitute 6 for s

$Total =6 \times \sqrt{\frac{3(6)^2}{4}} + 3(6)^2$

$Total =6 \times \sqrt{27} + 108$

$Total =6 \times 5.20+ 108$

$Total =139.20$

Hence, the total area of the figure is 139.20 square centimeters

The profit when selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39. How many pairs of shoes should be sold in order to maximize the

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: $4$ pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Profit on selling 'x' pairs of shoes is $P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39$

Find the derivative of the function to find out the critical points

$\Rightarrow -8x+32=0\\\Rightarrow x=4$

Thus, for 4 pair of shoes profit is maximize.

How do you compare exponential functions??

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

You compare it by this

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are graphed as straight lines while exponential functions are curved. Linear functions are typically in the form y = mx + b, which is used to discover the slope, or simply the change in y divided by the change in x, while exponential functions are typically in the form y = (1 + r) x.
