To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = y = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.
Equations
x + y = 44
Max = xy
Solution
y = 44 - x
Max = x (44 - x) Remove the brackets
Max = 44x - x^2 Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.
Max = - (x^2 - 44x ) Complete the square inside the brackets.
Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.
Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484
The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.
If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484
x + y = 44
xy = 484
When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to type in
because you can only have removable discontinuities where there is a rational (fraction) function. Begin by factoring both the numerator and denominator to
and cancelling out like terms would have us eliminating the (x + 3). That is where there is a removable discontinuity. It leaves a hole. The other discontinuity, (x + 1) doesn't cancel out so it is a non-removable discontuinity, which is a vertical asymptote.
The removable discontinuity is at -3. There is no y value at x = -3 (remember there's only a hole here), because -3 causes the denominator to go to 0 and we all know that having a 0 in the denominator of a fraction is a big no-no!!!
Answer:
Width (length of shorter side) = 3.5 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
L = 8.5 cm
perimeter, P = 24 cm
2(L+W) = 24
substitute L = 8.5
2(8.5+W) = 24
8.5 + W = 24/2 = 12
W = 12 - 8.5 = 3.5 cm
