If 60% of a number is 8, find 30% of that number.
podryga [215]
60/100 = 8/x

Multiply both sides by 100

60 = 800/x

Multiply both sides by x

60x = 800

Divide both sides by 60

x = 13.3333333333333

Solve the system of equations.<br> – 3y + 5x = 26<br> - 2 - 5x = -16
mylen [45]

Answer:

y=-4,\:x=\frac{14}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{bmatrix}-3y+5x=26\\ -2-5x=-16\end{bmatrix}

Isolate x for -2-5x=-16:

x=\frac{14}{5}

\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=\frac{14}{5}

\begin{bmatrix}-3y+5\cdot \frac{14}{5}=26\end{bmatrix}

Simplify

\begin{bmatrix}-3y+14=26\end{bmatrix}

Isolate y for -3y+14=26:

y=-4

\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:}

y=-4,\:x=\frac{14}{5}

A board is 48 in long. It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length, and each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in. How long wi
NISA [10]

Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

The length of the box is 2x - 2 and the width is x - 5. Find the perimeter. (HINT: p= 2L + 2W) Choose one.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of the box = L = 2x-2

Width of the box = W = x-5

Perimeter is defined by the sum of length of all sides of the box.

Perimeter of the box = P = 2L + 2W

Perimeter of box = 2(2x-2) + 2(x-5)

Perimeter = 4x-4+2x-10

Perimeter = 6x-14

The perimeter of the box is 6x-14.

Hence,

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Which statement about the ordered pairs (2, −9)(2, −9) and (3, −6)(3, −6) is true for the equation 5x−y3=135x−y3=13 ?
dedylja [7]
5x - y³ = 135x - y³ = 13
The answer can be obtained by simply putting the ordered pair into the equations. First (2 , -9)
5(2) - (9)³ = 135(5) - (-9)³ = 13
10 + 729 = 675 + 729 = 13
739 = 1404 = 13
This is not true. Therefore this is not a solution
Second (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6)³ = 135(5) - (-6)³ = 13
231 = 891 = 13
This is also not true
Therefore, neither ordered pair is a solution.
