-8(1 + 5b) – 2(86 – 1) = 50

Mathematics
1 answer:
kati45 [8]4 years ago

Answer:

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

Hope this helps!

HELP WITH 2 MATH QUESTIONS!!
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number of wax cubes needed to make the candle, we divide the volume of the pyramid by the volume of the cube. That is,

             number of wax = volume of mold / volume of wax

 The formulas are,

              number of wax = (1/3)Ah / s³

Where A is the area of the base, in this case 9 cm x 9 cm which is equal to 81 cm². Substituting the known values from the given above,

               number of wax = (1/3)(81 cm²)(10 cm) / (4 cm)³ = 4.21

Thus, approximate number of wax should be 4.21. If we are to round this off to the nearest whole number, we will get 5 (considering that we want rather to have excess than missing items)

Can any one help me answer this Math question ?
kati45 [8]
The answer is 4*\sqrt(2), or 5.7 if rounded to the nearest tenth digit. Notice that this is a right triangle (F is the right angle). The length of FG and FE are both 4 units on the diagram. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the length of EG is \sqrt(4^2+4^2)=4*\sqrt(2), which is about 5.7.

Find the limit of the function algebraically. limit as x approaches negative 2 of quantity x squared minus four divided by quant
lakkis [162]

ANSWER

The limit is -4


EXPLANATION


   \displaystyle\lim_{x\to -2} \dfrac{x^2-4}{x+2}


The numerator factors into (x-2)(x+2)


   \displaystyle\lim_{x\to -2} \dfrac{(x-2)(x+2)}{x+2}


The (x+2) cancel out


   \displaystyle\lim_{x\to -2} (x-2)


By direct substitution


   \displaystyle\lim_{x\to -2} (x-2) = -2 -2 = -4
