Explain why the square root of -4 is not a real number, but cube root of -8 is

1 answer:

3 0

Because -2 times -2 is 4 and 2 x 2 is 4 as well. So you cant have -4.
But if you have cube root of -8, you can do -2 as -2 x -2 gives you 4, if you x this by -2 you get -8

What is the solution to the equation One-third (x minus 2) = one-fifth (x + 4) + 2? x = 12 x = 14 x = 16 x = 26

Elena L [17]

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{3}$ (x - 2) = $\frac{1}{5}$ (x + 4) + 2

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

5(x - 2) =3(x + 4) + 30 ← distribute and simplify both sides

5x - 10 = 3x + 12 + 30, that is

5x - 10 = 3x + 42 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = 42 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26

Which of these systems of equations would be best solved using the subtraction method?

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x+2y=6 or x=6-2y

3x-2y=2

3(6-2y)-2y=2

18-6y-2y=2

18-8y=2

-8y=-18+2

-8y=-16

y=-16/-8

y=2 ans.

x+2*2=6

x+4=6

x=6-4=2 ans.

Proof:

3*2-2*2=2

6-4=2

2=2

I leave the rest for you to practice with.

3. 4x+y=7

2x+5y=-1

5. 3x+2y=-2

6x-y=6

Solve the system using the elimination method. Show all your steps.

7. -3x+3y=3

3x+y=9 add.

---------------------------------

4y=12

y=12/4

y=3 ans.

3x+3=9

3x=9-3

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2 ans.

Proof:

-3*2+3*3=3

-6+9=3

3=3

I'll leave the rest for practice.

9. -5x+12y=20

x-2y=-6

11. 3x+2y=1

4x+ 6y= 7

Sherman goes golfing every 6^\text{th}6 th 6, start superscript, start text, t, h, end text, end superscript day and Brad goes g

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

In every 42 days, Sherman and Brad will go golfing on the same day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sherman goes golfing every 6th day.

Brad goes golfing every 7th day.

If they both went golfing today, we need to determine how many days unit they will go golfing on the same day again.

Solution:

In order to determine how many days unit Sherman and Brad will go golfing on the same day again, we will take least common multiple of 6 and 7.

To find least common multiple of 6 and 7, we will list out their multiples.

$6=6,12,18,24,30,36,42$

$7=7,14,21,28,35,42$

We find out that the least common multiple of 6 and 7 =42.

Thus, we can conclude that Sherman and Brad will go golfing on same days on every 42nd day after they meet..
