The total number of seats in a movie theater is calculated by adding the area of the upper section given by 8x2 and the area of

the lower section given by 6x2. The theater plans to add an addition of front row seats given by 4x for a total of 138 seats. Which equation could be used to solve for the number of seats in the front row addition?

8x^2+6x^2+4x=138  combine like terms on left side

14x^2+4x=138 since the number of seats in the from row is just 4x, subtract 14x^2 from both sides

4x=138-14x^2  that would be the general solution, if you wanted the actual number you would have to solve for x and then multiply that value by 4 to know what "4x" is...

14x^2+4x-138=0

14x^2-42x+46x-138=0

14x(x-3)+46(x-3)=0

(14x+46)(x-3)=0

2(7x+23)(x-3)=0, since x>0

x=3 and thus

4x=12 seats

So there are 12 seats in the front row addition.

PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN!
Neko [114]

Answer:

12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x+x=18

2) Now solve 2x+x=18

Add alike terms

3x=18

Now divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 and 18/3)

x=6

So Hannah is 6 years old. Her sister must be 12.

Explain how you would create and use a spinner to simulate the probability of an event with the following probabilities:
castortr0y [4]

To simulate the probability in a spinner divide the spinner into colors depending on the probability each color represents.

<h3>What does the word "probability" mean?</h3>

This word refers to the likelihood for an event to occur. Moreover, it is often expressed either as a fraction, a percentage, or a number.

<h3>How to create a spinner to simulate probability?</h3>

In this case, each of the colors represents a probability:

  • Green 20%
  • Blue 1/4 or 25%
  • Yellow 2/5 oe 40%
  • Orange 15%

Due to this, the best is to divide the spinner by colors and considering the percentanges of each color. For example 40% of the spinner should be red, while 15% should be orange.

Solve - pv + 40 &lt; 65 for v<br> solve 7w - 3r = 15 for r
Katarina [22]

Answer:

v > -25/p

r = -5 +7/3 w

Step-by-step explanation:

- pv + 40 < 65

Subtract 40 from each side

- pv + 40-40 < 65-40

-pv < 25

Divide each side by -p  (remember to flip the inequality since we are dividing by a negative)

-pv/-p > 25/-p

v > -25/p


7w - 3r = 15

Subtract 7w from each side

7w-7w - 3r = 15-7w

-3r = 15-7w

Divide by -3

-3r/-3 = (15-7w)/-3

r = -5 +7/3 w

Which equation is a line that is parallel to the x-<br> axis and passes through the point (5,2)?
Natali [406]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel to the x-axis,

the gradient, m = 0

From the point, we know that

x = 5

y = 2

So y = 2 is the line that parallel to x-axis
