How do I solve |5-3p|+9=13p+8

Mathematics
1 answer:
anastassius [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

p = -2/5 or 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

|5 − 3p| + 9 = 13p + 8

|5 − 3p| = 13p − 1

If 5 − 3p is positive:

5 − 3p = 13p − 1

6 = 16p

p = 3/8

If 5 − 3p is negative:

-(5 − 3p) = 13p − 1

-5 + 3p = 13p − 1

-4 = 10p

p = -2/5

Alternatively, we can square both sides of the equation:

(5 − 3p)² = (13p − 1)²

25 − 30p + 9p² = 169p² − 26p + 1

0 = 160p² + 4p − 24

0 = 40p² + p − 6

0 = (5p + 2) (8p − 3)

p = -2/5 or 3/8

Tanzania [10]
You can write three equations in the numbers of nickels (n), dime (d), and quarters (q).
  n + d + q = 23 . . . . . . . there are 23 coins total
  0n +d -q = 2 . . . . . . . . .there are 2 more dimes than quarters
  5n +10d +25q = 250 . .the total value is $2.50

The collection includes 11 nickels, 7 dimes, and 5 quarters.

_____
I used the matrix function of my calculator to solve these equations. You can find q by subtracting from the last equation five times the sum of the first two equations.
  (5n +10d +25q) -5((n +d +q) +(d -q)) = (250) -5(23 +2)
  25q = 125 . . . . . . . simplify
  q = 5
From the second equation,
  d = q +2 = 7
And from the first,
  n = 23 -5 -7 = 11

Look at the right-angled triangle ABC.
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

∠x = 90°

∠y = 58°

∠z = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

he dimensions of the angles given are;

∠B = 32°

Whereby ΔABC is a right-angled triangle, and the square fits at angle A, we have;

∠A = 90°

∠B + ∠C = 90° which gives

32° + ∠C = 90°

∠C = 58°

∠x + Interior angle of the square = 180° (Sum of angles on a straight line)

∠x + 90° = 180°

∠x = 90°

∠x + ∠y + 32° = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

90° + ∠y + 32° = 180°

∠y = 180 - 90° - 32° = 58°

∠y + ∠z + Interior angle of the square = 180° (Sum of angles on a straight line)

58° + ∠z +90° = 180°

∴ ∠z = 32°

∠x = 90°

∠y = 58°

∠z = 32°
