Answer:

r=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(4r - 8)=-36

The first step is to distribute the -3

-3*4r -3*-8 = -36

-12r +24 = -36

Subtract 24 from each side.

-12r + 24-24 = -36-24

-12r = -60

Divide each side by -12

-12r/-12 = -60/-12

r=5

Answer:

r=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

-3*(4*r-8)-(-36)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Step 2 :

Pulling out like terms :

2.1 Pull out like factors :

4r - 8 = 4 • (r - 2)

Equation at the end of step 2 :

(0 - 12 • (r - 2)) - -36 = 0

Step 3 :

Step 4 :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1 Pull out like factors :

60 - 12r = -12 • (r - 5)

Equation at the end of step 4 :

-12 • (r - 5) = 0

Step 5 :

Equations which are never true :

5.1 Solve : -12 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.2 Solve : r-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation :

r = 5

One solution was found :

r = 5

I’m confused please helppp

Alborosie

For the first one we see that the shape is that of a parabola and is translated down a few units, We can eliminate linear, exponential
and looking at the general shapes of quadratic and polynomial functions we can conclude that the graph is from a quadratic equation

So Answer is: (2) quadratic

I hope that helps

Part A:

You may choose the two lines connecting the origin and points A and B, and choose the portion of the space between them.

The line between the origin and A is

$y = 3x$

We want everything below this line (line included), so the first inequality is

$y \leq 3x$

The line between the origin and B is

$y = \dfrac{1}{3}x$

We want everything above this line (line included), so the second inequality is

$y \geq \dfrac{1}{3}x$

Create a system with these two inequalities and you'll have an area including only points A and B

Part B:

To verify the solutions, we can plug the coordinates of A and B in this system and check that we get something true: the coordinates of point A are (1,3), while the coordinates of point B are (3,1). The system becomes:

$A:\begin{cases}3 \leq 3\cdot 1\\3 \geq \frac{1}{3}\cdot 1\end{cases},\quad B:\begin{cases}1 \leq 3\cdot 3\\1 \geq \frac{1}{3}\cdot 3\end{cases}$

Which means

$A:\begin{cases}3 \leq 3\\3 \geq \frac{1}{3}\end{cases},\quad B:\begin{cases}1 \leq 9\\1 \geq 1\end{cases}$

And these are all true. So, the system is satisfied, which means that the points belong to the shaded area.

Part C

If you draw the line, you'll see that the only points that lay below the line are B and C. In fact, if we plug the coordinates we have

$B:\ 1$

And this are both true. You can check the coordinates of all other points, and see that they won't satisfy the inequality y<3x-6

Answer:

A) c + CD = 20

B) 6c + 12CD = 192

Multiplying equation A by -6 we get:

A) -6c -6CD = -120

B) 6c + 12 CD = 192

Adding the equations we get

0 + 6 CD = 72

There are 12 CD's and

c + 12 = 20

There are 8 cassettes

Does getting a degree mean you can be a detective

inessss [21]

It depends on what kind of degree you have. Being a detective needs training and special classes- you can get degrees for being a bet or a data analysts. It depends on what sort of degree you have.
