A roofing company is going to install a new roof on a house. The roof is 40 feet off of the ground, while the pallet of shingles

on the ground is 60 feet away from the base of the house. How long of a conveyor belt would be needed to get the shingles to the top of the house?

c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=40^2+60^2
c^2=5200 feet^2
c=(5200)^(1/2)
c=72.11102551 feet

I'LL GIVE YOU BRAINIEST!<br> 1 1/5 · x/3 = 9/10 solve for x

joja [24]

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{Equation:}$

$\mathbf{1 \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\huge\textbf{Solve:}$

$\mathbf{1 \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{1\times5+1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{5 + 1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{6}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{2}{5}x = \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\huge\textbf{Multiply \boxed{\bf \dfrac{5}{2}} to both sides:}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}x = \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{9}{10}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{5\times9}{2\times10}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{45}{20}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{45\div5}{20\div5}}$

$\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{9}{4}}$

$\mathbf{x \approx 2 \dfrac{1}{4}}$

$\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = }\frak{2 \dfrac{1}{4}}}\huge\checkmark$

The number is three digits, the number is even, the tens digit is half the hundreds digit, the sum of the digit is 14 what is th

ser-zykov [4K]

Let x represent the digit in the hundreds place, y represent the digit in the tens place, and z represent the digit in the ones place. What do we know about each digit?

x: twice y (2, 4, 6, or 8)

y: half of x (1, 2, 3, or 4)

z: an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).

The sume of the digits is 14. So, x + y + z = 14

Choose one of the digits and look at your options (if any).

when x=2, then y = 1, which means z has to be 11 (NOT VALID)

when x=4, then y = 2, which means z has to be 8 (428 works!)

For fun, let's see if any other numbers work:

when x=6, then y = 3, which means z has to be 5 (NOT VALID)

when x=8, then y = 4, which means z has to be 2 (842 works!)

Answer: 428 and 842 both work

What are the values of x in this equation?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A. x = 0, x = -3, x = 2, and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{4} +12x=4x^{2} +3x^{3}$

by moving the terms on the left side to the right side

$x^{4} -3x^{3} -4x^{2} +12x = 0$

factor an $x^{3}$ from $x^{4} -3x^{3}$

and factor - 4 $x$ from $-4x^{2} +12x$

the equation becomes :

$x^{3} (x - 3 )-4x (x - 3)$ = 0

take $(x - 3)$ as a common factor the equation becomes :

$(x-3)(x^{3}-4x )$ = 0

thus

$x - 3 = 0$ ⇒ $x = 3$

and

$x^{3} - 4x = 0$ by factoring an x we get :

$x(x^{2}-4 ) =0$ ⇒ $x$ = 0 and $x^{2} - 4 = 0$

$x^{2} - 4 =0$ ⇒ $x = 2$ and $x = -2$

Thus

the values are :

x = 0, x = -3, x = 2, and x = -2
