Is the expression 3(x+1 1\2)-3 equivalent to 3x+1 1\2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

first simplify or solve the original expression ( 3(x + 11/2)-3 )

1.  Parenthesis go first so do the 11/2 = 5.5 (x+5.5)

2. Distribute the 3 to the parenthesis (3x + 16.5)

3. subtract 3 from the expression (3x + 13.5)

Compare new equation with 3x + 11/2. Are they the same? (3x+13.5 vs. 3x + 11/2)

They are not the same thing.

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.
Reika [66]
Using SOH CAH TOA, you have the Opposite side and you need to work out the Hypotenuse so you will use SOH. This means that the opposite divided by the sine of the angle is the hypotenuse: 18/sin(35) = x = 31.4

A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the boat in still w
prohojiy [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream,

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

The rate while moving downstream=\dfrac{60}{3}=20\ mph

The rate while moving upstream =\dfrac{60}{5}=12\ mph

The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:

v_s=\dfrac{20+12}{2}=16\ mph

The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed = 16 mph - 12 mph = 4 mph

Hence, this is the required solution.

8x+5y=24<br> y=−4x<br> ​what is X and Y??
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

plug y into the first equation:

8x+5y=24

8x+5(-4x)=24

8x-20x=24

-12x=24

x=-24/12

x=-2

then plug x to the second equation

y=-4

y=-4(-2)

y=8

x=-2

y=8
