Solve: negative 1 over 2x + 1 = −x + 8

1 answer:

8 0

Equation: -1/2x + 1 = -x + 8

Work:

-x/2 + 1 = -x + 8

1 - x/2 = -x + 8

1 - x/2 = 8 - x

2 - x = 16 - 2x

-x = 16 - 2x - 2

-x = 2x + 14

-x + 2x = 14

x = 14

Final Answer:

x = 14

What is the volume of this triangular prism? 313.6cm3 506.8cm3 5,676.16cm3 11,352.32cm3

lyudmila [28]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

What is the volume of this triangular prism?

Base length = 22.4 cm

Height = 18.1 cm

Length = 28 cm

A) 313.6 cm3

B) 506.8 cm3

C) 5,676.16 cm3

D) 11,352.32 cm3

Answer:

$V=5,676.16\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The base of the prism is triangular with base length equal to 22.4 cm and height 18.1 cm. The length of the prism is 28 cm.

The volume of a triangular prism is defined by the formula:

$V=(Area\ of\ base)\times (length)$

Here, the base is triangular and the area of a triangle is:

$A=\frac{1}{2}base \times height$

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is given as:

$V=\frac{1}{2}(base\times height\times length)$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for the volume 'V'.

$V=\frac{1}{2}(22.4\ cm\times 18.1\ cm\times 28\ cm)\\\\V=\frac{1}{2}(11,352.32\ cm^3)\\\\V=5,676.16\ cm^3$

Therefore, the correct answer is the third option.

$V=5,676.16\ cm^3$

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1

Lorico [155]

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.
