Solve for m:3 m + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 3 m + 7/2 over the common denominator 2: 3 m + 7/2 = (6 m)/2 + 7/2:(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
(6 m)/2 + 7/2 = (6 m + 7)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - 2 m
Put each term in 5/2 - 2 m over the common denominator 2: 5/2 - 2 m = 5/2 - (4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = 5/2 - (4 m)/2
5/2 - (4 m)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2:(6 m + 7)/2 = (5 - 4 m)/2
Multiply both sides by 2:6 m + 7 = 5 - 4 m
Add 4 m to both sides:6 m + 4 m + 7 = (4 m - 4 m) + 5
4 m - 4 m = 0:6 m + 4 m + 7 = 5
6 m + 4 m = 10 m:10 m + 7 = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides:10 m + (7 - 7) = 5 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:10 m = 5 - 7
5 - 7 = -2:10 m = -2
Divide both sides of 10 m = -2 by 10:(10 m)/10 = (-2)/10
10/10 = 1:m = (-2)/10
The gcd of -2 and 10 is 2, so (-2)/10 = (2 (-1))/(2×5) = 2/2×(-1)/5 = (-1)/5:Answer: m = (-1)/5

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3m + 7/2 = -2m + 5/2

3m + 7 = -2m + 5

5m = -2

m = -2/5

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution

anyanavicka [17]

Let q be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + q quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + q quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + q) / (8 + q) = 0.60

Solve for q :

3.2 + q = 0.60 (8 + q)

3.2 + q = 4.8 + 0.6q

0.4q = 1.6

q = 4

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states a(b+c)=a*b+a*c. This property states that when you multiply more than one thing, you must be sure to multiply everything. When you order fast food combos, you do the distribution property to receive the correct order.

If I order 3 Happy Meals, then I will receive

3(hamburgers +fries + drinks +toys)

3 hamburgers+3 fries+3 drinks+3 toys.

If I don't, then I have broken the distribution property.

What is the discontinuity of (x^2 + 3x - 4)/(x^2 + x - 12)?

zvonat [6]

The discontinuity occurs when the denominator is equal to zero, as it has "infinite" slope, and thus is not a real value or point.

x^2+x-12

x^2+4x-3x-12

x(x+4)-3(x+4)

(x-3)(x+4)

So discontinuities occur when x=-4 and x=3
