Multiply both sides by 2
so
-1x = 12
divide both sides by -1
x = -12

Hope this helps :)

Well, we would solve it as cancelling out -1/2 by multiplying it by its reciprocal (-2/1) to get x by itself, and now we'll do the same on the other side, where 6/1 times -2/1 = -12/1, which is the same as -12.
So x = -12 :3

A person is skateboarding to their local skate shop to pick up some sick rims. They skate at 8 miles per hour. The store is 2.5

belka [17]

Answer: 0.3125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for time taken to cover a distance is:

= Distance / Speed

Distance = 2.5 miles

Speed = 8 miles per hour

Time taken = 2.5 / 8

= 0.3125 hours

In minutes this is:

= 0.3125 * 60 mins

= 19 mins approx

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

pogonyaev

Answer:

Rate of increase in height = $\frac{dh}{dt}=0.3156ft/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that volume of a cone is given by

$V=\frac{1}{12}\pi d^{2}h$

It is Given that diameter equals height thus we have

$V=\frac{1}{12}\pi h^{2}h\\\\V=\frac{1}{12}\pi h^{3}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to time we get

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{12}\pi \frac{dh^{3}}{dt}\\\\\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{12}\pi(3h^{2}\frac{dh}{dt})$

Applying values and solving for $\frac{dh}{dt}$ we get

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{12\frac{dV}{dt}}{3\pi h^{2}}\\\\\frac{dh}{dt}=0.3156ft/min$

How can I solve this math equation?

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You can graph this equation by using y=mx+b. You can replace that equation with y=3x-1.

M=3

X=x

B=-1

On a graph you would down 1 since it's negative and make a point. Then you would put a 1 under the 3 to make it a fraction. 3/1. Then you would divide 1 by 3 (1 ÷ 3). Then you would go to the right 0.33 because it's positive, and the up 1. Then you would make a second point.

This would only give you one line which wouldn't give you an intersection.
