What is the solution to the equation? 1/4 (3x-16)+1/4x=5 1/3

1 answer:

6 0

Is that a mixed number 5 and 1/3 at the end?
If so, we have:
(1/4)(3x - 16) + (1/4)x = 16/3
If we multiply everything by 12, the LCD, we can get rid of the fractions.
This gives us:
3(3x - 16) + 3x = 4(16) 9x - 48 + 3x = 64 12x = 112 <span>x = 28/3</span>

Answer:

C) English

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know how to explain it, so I'll show you instead.

For science, there are 6 of 6 correct answers with a 0.5 chance of answering correctly.

So,

0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.016

For English, there are 4 of 4 correct answers with a 0.25 chance of answering correctly.

So,

0.25 x 0.25 x 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.004

They will have to study English (0.004) because it is lower than science (0.016).

natita [175]

Answer:

3m - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by Step:

Equation= 6m³ - 16m² + 15m - 40/ 2m² + 5

Factor out 2m² from 6m³ - 16m²:

Factor out 5 from expression:

2m²(3m - 8) + 5(3m - 8)/2m² + 5

Factor out 3m - 8:

(3m - 8)(2m² + 5)/2m² + 5

Rude the fraction with 2m² + 5:

3m - 8 is the answer

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Lines that are parallel have the same slopes because they are increasing or decreasing at the same rate and therefore will never bump into each other.

We see that y=2 has a slope of 0 because there is no x that we can see in the equation. This is just a flat line.

If the line we are looking for is flat; it stays at the same y-value the entire time. We see that the y-value for this line of ours is -6. Therefore, the answer is C. y=-6.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
