Solve for x. x-2/4 - x+3/3 = -2

1 answer:

7 0

The LCD is 12. Thus, your

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes 12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36. Combining like terms,

-x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note: You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

A sound wave is traveling at 6,420m/s and has a frequency of 600Hz. What is the wavelength?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

10.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a sound wave, v = 6,420 m/s

The frequency of the wave, f = 600 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the wave. We can find it using the below relation as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6420}{600}\\\\\lambda=10.7\ m$

So, the wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 10.7 m.

A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: A. 1 pound of cabbage will cost 40 cents. B. (10,4) means that 10 pounds of cabbage will cost 4 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is proportional that means the y value divided by the x value will give you a constant slope.

So using that use the coordinates (5,2) to find the cost of 1 pound of cabbage.

2/5 = 0.4

so you could write the equation y= 0.4x where x is the number of pound.

Part A: y= 0.4(1)

y= $0.40 which means one pound of cabbage will cost 40 cents.

Part B. (10,4) in this case it will means that for 10 pounds of cabbage it will cost $4.

Plot it into the equation and find out

in the coordinates (10,4) 4 is the y and 10 is the x

4= 0.4(10)

4= 4

Which means it true that 10 pounds of cabbage will cost 4 dollars.

What is the value of y in the equation 2 + y = −3?<br> -1<br> -5<br> 1<br> 5

Thepotemich [5.8K]

To do this subtract 2 from each side of the equation to get y = -5, so the value of y in this is -5. Hope this helps!
