Greetings!

Simplify the Expression.
$=\frac{-2}{3}(12c-9)+14c$

Distribute the Parenthesis.
<em>How?</em> <span>Multiply the terms inside the Parenthesis by the term outside of the Parenthesis.
</span> $=\frac{-2}{3}*12c-\frac{-2}{3}*9+14c$

$=\frac{-2}{3}*\frac{12}{1}c-\frac{-2}{3}*\frac{9}{1}+14c$

$=\frac{-24}{3}c-\frac{-18}{3}+14c$

Combine Like Terms.
$=\frac{-24}{3}c+\frac{14}{1}c-\frac{-18}{3}$

$=\frac{18}{3}c-\frac{-18}{3}$

Reduce to Lowest Terms.
$=6c-6$

The Answer Is:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}=6c-6\end{array}\right]$

Hope this helps.

The ratio of blue marbles to red marbles in a box is 3 to 2. if there are 12 blue marbles in a box then how many red marbles are

valkas [14]

The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

Alan is comparing the cost of a fresh lobster dinner at two different restaurants. The first

Pepsi [2]

Good evening ,

Answer:

The weight : 29 pound

Alan would pay for his dinner : $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of the lobster

the cost of the dinner at restaurant 1 is 4x + 14

the cost of the dinner at restaurant 2 is 3x + 43

Now ,we have to solve the equation : 4x + 14 = 3x + 43

4x + 14 = 3x + 43

⇔ x = 43 - 14

⇔ x = 29

In this case Alan would pay the same amount for his dinner at any restaurant:

the price = 4×(29)+14 = 130

= 3×(29)+43 = 130.

Determine consecutive integer values of x between which each real zero is located.

frozen [14]

Answer:

1. x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x = -2 - sqrt(6)

2. x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x = 2.91497

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 6 x^2 + 6 x - 4 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x + 2) (x^2 + 4 x - 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

x + 2 = 0 or x^2 + 4 x - 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x = 2

Add 4 to both sides:

x = -2 or x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 6

Write the left hand side as a square:

x = -2 or (x + 2)^2 = 6

Take the square root of both sides:

x = -2 or x + 2 = sqrt(6) or x + 2 = -sqrt(6)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x + 2 = -sqrt(6)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = -2 or x = sqrt(6) - 2 or x = -2 - sqrt(6)

_________________________________________

Solve for x:

x^4 - 2 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 8 x + 5 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/2:

5 + 8 (y + 1/2) - 6 (y + 1/2)^2 - 2 (y + 1/2)^3 + (y + 1/2)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (15 y^2)/2 + y + 117/16 = 0

Subtract -3/2 sqrt(13) y^2 - (15 y^2)/2 + y from both sides:

y^4 + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + 117/16 = (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 - y

y^4 + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + 117/16 = (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 = (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 - y

Add 2 (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = -y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = -y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2

-y + (3 sqrt(13) y^2)/2 + (15 y^2)/2 + 2 λ (y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) y^2 - y + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2 + λ^2:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - y + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) (λ^2 + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2) - 1)/(4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) (λ^2 + (3 sqrt(13) λ)/2) - 1 = 8 λ^3 + 18 sqrt(13) λ^2 + 30 λ^2 + 45 sqrt(13) λ + 117 λ - 1 = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) - 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2)) or y^2 + (3 sqrt(13))/4 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2) + 1/(2 sqrt(2 λ + 15/2 + (3 sqrt(13))/2))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 - 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) or y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 - 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) or y = 1/4 (sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 + 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13))) or y = 1/4 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((108 - 24 sqrt(13) λ - 16 λ^2 + 4 sqrt(2) sqrt(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))/(4 λ + 15 + 3 sqrt(13)))) where λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3))

Substitute λ = 1/4 (-3 sqrt(13) - 5) + (2 2^(2/3) (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3) + ((-i sqrt(3) + 1) (i sqrt(183) - 29)^(1/3))/(2 2^(2/3)) and approximate:

y = -2.60947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x - 1/2 = -2.60947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or y = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x - 1/2 = -0.984343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or y = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x - 1/2 = 1.17884 or y = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or y = 2.41497

Substitute back for y = x - 1/2:

x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x - 1/2 = 2.41497

Add 1/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.10947 or x = -0.484343 or x = 1.67884 or x = 2.91497

A manufacture inspects 800 light bulbs and finds that 796 of them have no defects. What is the experimental probability that a l

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The experimental probability that a light build chosen at random has no defects is 99.5 % or P(A)=0.995.

Step-by-step explanation:

let S be the sample space for the inspection of the light bulbs.

Therefore, n(s) = 800

let ' A ' be the event of no defects bulbs.

Therefore, n(A) = 796

Now the Experiment probability for a light bulb chosen has no defects will be given by,

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

Substituting the values we get

$P(A)=\dfrac{796}{800}=0.995$

The experimental probability that a light build chosen at random has no defects is 99.5 % or P(A)=0.995.
