If 8 men can chop down 28 trees in one day, how many trees can 20 men chop down in one day?

2 answers:

8 0

I think it's 70 cause 8 goes into 20, (2 times equals 16) so 28+28= 56 and the 4 left over men are half of 8 so half of 28 is 14 so 56+14=70

28 / 8 = 3.5
20 x 3.5 = 70
20 men can chop down 70 trees

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 7 = 0, where x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 ti

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

Required

Solve for x using:

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

First, we need to identify a, b and c

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

So, by comparison with $x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0$

$a = 1$ $b = -5$ $c = -7$

Substitute these values of a, b and c in

$x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$x = \frac{-(-5) \± \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * -7}}{2 * 1}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{25 +28}}{2}$

$x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{53}}{2}$

Split the expression to two

$x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}$

To solve further in decimal form, we have

$x = \frac{5 + 7.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{5 - 7.28}{2}$

$x = \frac{12.28}{2}$ or $x = \frac{-2.28}{2}$

$x = 6.14$ or $x = -1.14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

16x + 14y = 8

-63x - 14y = 133

Step 2: Solve for x

Elimination

Combine 2 equations: -47x = 141
Divide -47 on both sides: x = -3

Step 3: Solve for y

Define original equation: 16x + 14y = 8
Substitute in x: 16(-3) + 14y = 8
Evaluate multiplication: -48 + 14y = 8
Add 48 on both sides: 14y = 56
Divide 14 on both sides: y = 4

Step 4: Graph Systems

Check the solution set.

The equation of a line is y=-2.5x+3. Which one of these points lies on this line?

lakkis [162]

D is the correct answer. Since this is an equation, equation means both side are equal. So if you put each point in place of y and x and do the math on the left side, the final result of that side has to be equal to the left one. Only (-2,2) follows this statement aka its a point on this line .
