Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7p = -3p - 8

Add 3p to each side

-7p+3p = -3p+3p - 8

-4p = -8

Divide each side by -4

-4p/-4 = -8/-4

p = 2

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{p = 2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigstar{ \sf{ \: - 7p = - 3p - 8}}$

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{Let's \: solve}}} :$

$\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{Move \: 3p \: to \: left \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: it's \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 7p + 3p = - 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Collect \: like \: terms}$

$\sf{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: the \: same \: base}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 4p = - 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 4}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{ - 4p}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 8}{ - 4}}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{p = 2}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

1. (a). A police car, approaching right-angled intersection from the north, is chasing a speedmg

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

<em>The SUV is running at 70 km/h</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed As Rate Of Change </u>

The speed can be understood as the rate of change of the distance in time. When the distance increases with time, the speed is positive and vice-versa. The instantaneous rate of change of the distance allows us to find the speed as a function of time.

This is the situation. A police car is 0.6 Km above the intersection and is approaching it at 60 km/h. Since the distance is decreasing, this speed is negative. On the other side, the SUV is 0.8 km east of intersection running from the police. The distance is increasing, so the speed should be positive. The distance traveled by the police car (y) and the distance traveled by the SUV (x) form a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the distance between them (d). We have:

$d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

To find the instant speeds, we need to compute the derivative of d respect to the time (t). Since d,x, and y depend on time, we apply the chain rule as follows:

$\displaystyle d\ '=\frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$

Where x' is the speed of the SUV and y' is the speed of the police car (y'=-60 km/h)

We'll compute :

$d=\sqrt{(0.8)^2+(0.6)^2}=\sqrt{0.64+0.36}$

$d=1\ km$

We know d'=20 km/h, so we can solve for x' and find the speed of the SUV

$\displaystyle \frac{x.x'+y.y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}=20$

Thus we have

$x.x'+y.y'=20$

Solving for x'

$\displaystyle x'=\frac{20-y.y'}{x}$

Since y'=-60

$\displaystyle x'=\frac{20+0.6(60)}{0.8}$

$x'=70\ km/h$

The SUV is running at 70 km/h

En un grupo de 100 personas 2/5 prefieren sopa de pollo, 4/10 prefieren comer hornado, y el resto prefiere fritada. A) ¿Qué part

castortr0y [4]

In a group of 100 people, 2/5 prefer chicken soup, 4/10 prefer to eat hornado, and the rest prefer frying. What part of the group prefers frying ? How many people prefer each type of food ? (thank u google translate)...I guess

2/5 of 100 prefer chicken soup.....so thats 2/5 * 100 = 200/5 = 40 prefer chicken soup.

4/10 out of 100 prefer hornado (I dont even know what that is)...
4/10 * 100 = 400/10 = 40 prefer hornado.

and the rest prefer frying....100 - (40 + 40) = 100 - 80 = 20 (or 1/5) prefer frying
