Solve for x 2x - 1 - 1 = x - 3 - ( -5 + x )

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

4

2

x=2

Using the volume of the spherical balloon, it is found that it will take 24 hours for the balloon to become completely empty.

<h3>What is the volume of a sphere?</h3>

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:

V = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}

Aspherical balloon has a radius of 6 feet, hence the volume is:

V = \frac{4\pi 6^3}{3} = 905

It has already lost 20% of it's air, and air is leaking out of the balloon at a rate of 30 cubic feet per minute, hence the volume after t minutes is given by:

V(t) = 0.8(905) - 30t

V(t) = 724 - 30t

It will be completely empty when:

V(t) = 0

724 - 30t = 0

30t = 724

t = \frac{724}{30}

t = 24.1

Rounding, it will take 24 hours for the balloon to become completely empty.

You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $63. If you want to leave an 18% tip, how much total money should you
astraxan [27]

Answer:

$74.3 <em>is the total amount.</em>

<em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in this problem is to figure out how much of a tip was left. To find that out, you need to multiply the percentage by the total of the meal.

63 * .18 = 11.34

We know that 11.34 was how much of a tip that was left,

To figure out the total amount that was spent, you would add the total amount and the tip.

63 + 11.34 = 74.34

*The rectangle has a perimeter of 38 meters.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Width of the rectangle = 7 meters

Length of the rectangle = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the rectangle = 38 meters

Width of the rectangle = w

Length of the rectangle = w + 5

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

38 = 2{(w + 5) + w}

38 = 2(w + 5 + w)

38 = 2(2w + 5)

38 = 4w + 10

38 - 10 = 4w

28 = 4w

w = 28/4

w = 7 meters

Width of the rectangle = w

= 7 meters

Length of the rectangle = w + 5

= 7 + 5

= 12 meters

If 20,x,y,z,25 are in AP .find the value of X,y,z.​
Kamila [148]

Answers:

  • x = 21.25
  • y = 22.5
  • z = 23.75

=============================================================

Work Shown:

AP = arithmetic progression, which is the same as arithmetic sequence

d = common difference

  • x = 20+d
  • y = 20+2d
  • z = 20+3d

Notice how we scale up the d terms d, 2d, 3d, counting up by 1 each time.

So that must mean 25 is the same as 20+4d

20+4d = 25

4d = 25-20

4d = 5

d = 5/4

d = 1.25

and therefore,

  • x = 20+d = 20+1.25 = 21.25
  • y = 20+2d = 20+2*1.25 = 22.5
  • z = 20+3d = 20+3*1.25 = 23.75

We could convert these to fraction form, but I find decimal form is easier in this case.
