The solution of 0.6(4-2x)=20.5-(3x+10) is x = 4.5
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, expression is 0.6 ( 4 – 2x ) = 20.5 – ( 3x + 10 )
We have to solve the above given equation for x.
Now, take the equation
We have to use BODMAS rule. BODMAS means sequence of operations which is brackets, order, division, multiplication, addition and then subtraction
On solving the brackets, we get
Now multiplication is given preference
Now subtraction is done
Now division is performed
Hence, the value of x is 4.5
Answer:
Width = 18, height = 3
Or
Width = 6, height = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question
( A piece of sheet metal 24 inches wide is bent to form a gutter as shown in the picture below, if the cross sectional area is 54 square inches, find the depth of the gutter).
X = width, Y = height
X - 2y = 24........ equation i
X = 24 - 2y.......... equation ii
Area = xy
54 = xy........ equation iii
Put equation ii into equation iii
54 = (24 - 2y) * y
54 = 24y - 2y²
2y² - 24y + 54 = 0........ equation iv
Solving equation iv using quadratic methods,
Factors = (y-3), (y-9)
(Y-3)(y-9) = 0
y = 3 or y = 9
Substitute y = 3 or y = 9 into equation ii
X = 24 -2(3) = 18 or x = 24 - 2(9) = 6
If Width = 18, height = 3
Or
Width = 6, height = 9
