The answer is 177/8 or one hundred seventy seven over eigth.

1/8(8x + 15) = 24

Multiply both sides by 8:
8* 1/8(8x + 15) = 8 * 24
8x + 15 = 192

Subtract 15 from both sides:
8x +15 - 15 = 192 - 15
8x = 177

Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 177/8
x = 177/8

The function A = 15x - x2, where x is the width in yards, gives the area A of a llama pen in square yards. Make a table using 1/

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The width which gives the greatest area is 7.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an application of differential calculus. Given the area as a function of the width, we simply need to differentiate the function with respect to x and equate to zero which yields; 15-2x=0 since the slope of the graph is zero at the turning points. Solving for x yields, x=7.5 which indeed maximizes the area of the pen

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3m-1)(6-a)-(m+3)(6-a)

=3m(6-a)-1(6-a)-m(6-a)+3(6-a)

=18m-3ma-6+a-6m+ma+18-3a

=12m-2ma+12-2a

=2(6m-ma+6-a)
