Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

Answer:

If the robot has more mass, then it will take a bigger force to lift up another object. If the robot is going to lift something up, it will use its arms, and its arms have mass, and the object has a mass as well. If the robot's arms have a mass of 10kg, and the object has a mass of 12kg, it will use a certain amount of force to lift up the object using it's arms. If the the robots arms were 5kg instead, it would take less force to lift of the same object using its arms.

Given f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=2x-3, for which value of x does g(x)=f(2)?
Black_prince [1.1K]
F(x) = 3x - 1
g(x) = 2x - 3
f(2) = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

g(x) = f(2) => 2x - 3 = 5
2x = 5 + 3 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
x = 4

I don't know how to solve this problem ​
Rom4ik [11]

<em><u>Before you read this!!</u></em><em> To me, it looks like 8 is the entire length of lineJL, but it may only be the length of lineJM. I've written the steps for lineJL=8 NOT lineJM=8. If this is not the case and 8 is only the length of lineJM let me know so I can fix my answer!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is A=1/2(b)(h)

B=base

H=height

Your height is found in the line in the middle of the triangle, for you it is 6.

The base is the long bottom line on the triangle (lineJL), for you it is 8.

So let's put it in.

A=1/2(8)(6)

A=24sq units (C)
