Solve the followinga) 2(5x-3)=24 what is xb) 5(2x+1)=50

1 answer:

8 0

A) 2(5x-3)=24
*Distribute the 2*
10x-6=24
*Add 6 to both sides*
10x=30
*Divide both sides by 10*
ANS: x=3
b) 5(2x+1)=50
*Distribute the 5*
10x+5=50
*Subtract 5 from both sides*
10x=45
*Divide both sides by 10*
x=45/10
*Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by GCF (5)
ANS: x=9/2

Hope this makes sense!

For the filming of a recent sci-fi movie, a model spaceship made to a scale of 1:16 was used. In the movie, the ship is supposed

Lunna [17]

Answer: 6.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The model of the spaceship was made to a scale of 1:16. Assuming the same unit of measurement used in the actual spaceship was also used in the model space ship and it was in feets. This means 1 foot on the model spaceship represented 16 feets on the actual spaceship.

In the movie, the ship is supposed to be 104 feet long. Let x be the corresponding length on the model. Therefore,

1:16 = x:104

1/16 = x/104

16x = 104

x = 104/16 = 6.5feets

So the length of the model is 6.5 feets

Determine the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to y = x + 11 that passes through the point (–6, 2). y =

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$y = x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel => This means it has the same slope as this one.

Slope = m = 1

Now,

Point = (x,y) = (-6,2)

So, x = -6, y = 2

Putting this in slope intercept form to get b

$y = mx+b$

=> 2 = (1)(-6) + b

=> b = 2+6

=> b = 8

Now putting m and b in the slope-intercept form to get the required equation:

=> $y = mx+b$

=> $y = x+12$
