9∣9-8x∣ = 2x+3

Answer:

9|9-8x|=2x+3    divide both sides by 9

l 9 - 8x l  =  [2x + 3] / 9        we have two equations

9 - 8x  = [2x + 3] / 9          and      9 - 8x =  - [2x + 3] / 9

multiply both sides by 9

81 - 72x  = 2x + 3                         81 - 72x  = -2x - 3

get the x's on one side and constants on the other

78  = 74x                                    84  = 70x

divide by 74                            divide by 70

78/74 = x =  39/37                      84/70  = x = 6/5

Answer:

7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem on the right triangle, that is

r² + 11² = 13²

r² + 121 = 169 ( subtract 121 from both sides )

r² = 48 ( take the square root of both sides )

r = \sqrt{48} ≈ 7 in ( to the nearest inch )

It costs $20 plus $1.50 per hour to rent a golf cart.
jeka57 [31]
$20 base fee + ($1.50 per hour × X hours rented) = Y the overall price

20+(1.50×X)=Y

Example:
Let's say the golf cart is rented for 3 hours.
X = 3

$20 base fee + ($1.50 per hour × 3 hours)
20+(1.50×3)
20+4.50= $24.50

So in this example Y=$24.50

How many positive integers less than 500 have an odd number of factors?
Tema [17]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Very nice little problem.

At first you think you need to go through the entire number system from 1 to 500. For example, you could do 12 as 1 2 3 4 6 12 So 12 does not add to the number of integers that have an odd number of factors.

But along the way if you check all the factors of the integers from 1 to 12, you notice something very odd. (No pun intended).

1 only has 1 factor which is odd (not even).

4 has 3 factors 1 2 4 which is odd.

9 has 3 factors 1 3 9 which is odd.

It turns out that there are 22 numbers from 1 to 500 that have an odd number of factors. They are the perfect squares between 1 and 500

Note

The factors of an integer include 1 and the integer itself

As a conclusion, try 36

1 2 3 4 6 9 12 18 36  There's 9 factors which is odd. So only the perfect squares have an odd number of factors.
