A = 16/3, b = 28/3
This is only a substitution
Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+b = 24

a + 2b = 24

b-a =4

a = b - 4

b - 4 + 2b = 24

3b = 24 + 4

b =28/3

substitute this in a = b - 4

a = 28/3 - 4

a = 28/3 - 12/3

a = 16/3

a = 5 1/3

Da<br> A<br> Solve the equation 2x^2+3=0
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = ±i(√6 / 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving quadratics

<u>Algebra II</u>

Imaginary root i

  • √-1 = i

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

2x² + 3 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3 on both sides:                        2x² = -3
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x² = -3/2
  3. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    x = ±√(-3/2)
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = ±i(√6 / 2)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (6,4) and (4,1)
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

y = 3/2*x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that P1=(6,4) and P2=(4,1) and that the form of the equation must be y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b the independent variable. Then having two given points we can use the slope formula to find the slope value as:

P1=(x1,y1) and P2=(x2,y2)

slope formula --->   m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Replacing the given points --->    m=(1-4)/(4-6) = 3/2

then replacing the slope value obtained:

y = 3/2*x + b

Now lets find the value of b. For this we have to replace in the equation a point it can be P1 or P2, i will replace P2:

1 = 3/2*4 + b

1 = 6 + b

1 - 6 = b

-5 = b

therefore the line equation is:

y = 3/2*x - 5

Miss Lewis has $523.50 in her savings account. Her bank pays 5 3/4% if interest. If the interest is computed once per year, how
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Interest She'll make in a year is $30.10125

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = PRT ÷ 100

Principal = $523.50

Rate = 5³/₄% = 5.75%

Time= 1year

Interest I = (523.50 × 5.75 × 1) ÷ 100 = $30.10125

Interest She'll make in a year is $30.10125

Find the missing length ‘x’
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here A = 55, h = 5. b₁ = x, b₂ = 9, then

\frac{1}{2} × 5 × (x + 9) = 55

2.5(x + 9) = 55 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

x + 9 = 22 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 13
