Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2) = 3x-2

x(3) -2(3) = 3x-2

3x -6 = 3x - 2 (subtract 3x from both sides)

-6 = -2

it is obvious that this is a false statement (-6 is obviously not equal to -2)

hence this equation has no solution.

We can solve or simplify the equation to find if an equation has one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions.

$3(x-2) = 3x-2$

Use the distributive property on the left side of the equation

$3x-6=3x-2$

Subtract both sides by 3x

$3x-3x-6=3x-3x-2$

$-6=-2$

Realize how weird our final output is? -6 does NOT equal -2. Since there's no way we could've solved for x and the final output isn't true, this equation has no solutions.

This means that the graph of lines are parallel in the coordinate plane and never intersect.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Carl earned grades of 62, 78, 59, and 89 on four math tests.

QveST [7]

Answer:

Mean, m = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Carl earned grades of 62, 78, 59, and 89 on four math tests.

It is required to find the mean of his grades.

Mean of a data is given by :

$m=\dfrac{\text{sum of observations}}{\text{total no of observations}}$

Sum of observations is 62 + 78 + 59 + 89 = 288

Total no of observations are 4

So, mean of his grades is :

$m=\dfrac{288}{4}\\\\m=72$

So, the mean of his grades is 72.

Ratio of nickels t quarters in a dollar

egoroff_w [7]

Since the nickels are first and there are (1.00 /.05= 20) 20 nickels in a dollar the first number is 20 then next is quarters and there is (1.00 / .25= 4) 4 quarters in a dollar so the second number is 4 so now u have to simplify if you were told to
the number 20 can be divided by 4 and the answer is 5 the number 4 is next divide by 4 and is 1 so the whole answer is 5 to 1 or 5:1<span>

The area of a rectangle is 40 cm2.<br> If its length is 10 cm, what is its width?

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Width = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a rectangle is length x width. You have the length (10), leaving you with this equation.

10 x ? = 40

Solve for x, or in other words, divide 40 by 10. This gives you 4. This means that 10 x 4 equals 40 cm^2

a farmer produced 47581 2 oranges of one kind and 651 65 oranges of another kind He mixed these oranges and packed in 296 boxes

storchak [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.

I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.

we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.

therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.

we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.

so,

475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges

he packs them into 296 boxes.

that makes

540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.

these are many oranges for one box in real life.

and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.

if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have

540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185

oranges left over.

in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.
