Solve for x: 3x – 14 = -5x + 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago

Hello there!

3x-14=-5x+2

Add 5x to both sides:

3x-14+5x=-5x+2+5x\\8x-14=2

Add 14 to both sides:

8x-14+14=2+14\\8x=16

Now divide both sides by 8:

\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{16}{8}

In our last step, we will simplify 16/8:

\frac{16}{8}=2\\ x=2

Hope this helps!

A pot of boiling soup with an internal temperature of 100° Fahrenheit was taken off the stove to cool in a 65°F room. After fift
s344n2d4d5 [400]

86.34 minutes was used   to cool the soup to 80 °F

<h3></h3><h3>How can we calculate this using Newton's Law of Cooling?</h3>

Newton's Law of Cooling can be computed as :

T=T1+(T0- T1) e^{kt}

The initial temperature  is been represent by T0 which is  ( 100 F)

The temperature of surrounding  is been given as  (69 F)

The  final temperature  is been given  as  T

t = time

we were told that the temperature of the soup move to  95 F, using  15 minutes.

Hence,  T = 95 F

t = 15 min

Then we can input the values into the above equation as :

95= 69 + (100-69)e^{15k}

if we simplify this , we have

26= 31e^{15k}

Then e^{15k} =0.8387

Then we can find the value of k as :

k= -0.012

Then we have the new equation as

T= 69 + (100-69)e^{-0.012t}

T= 69 + 31e^{15k}

Then at T=80F

we have,

80= 69 + 31e^{15k}

t=86.34

Then if we simplify , we have t=86.34 which implies that  86.34 minutes was used   to cool the soup to 80 °F

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = one-half x minus 4 and y = negative 2 x minus 9 (–2, –5) (–2, –3) (2,
Maurinko [17]

We have been given a system of equations y=\frac{1}{2}x-4 and y=-2x-9. We are asked to find the solution of our given system of equations.

To solve our system of equations, we will equate both equations as:

\frac{1}{2}x-4=-2x-9

\frac{1}{2}x-4+4=-2x-9+4

\frac{1}{2}x=-2x-5

\frac{1}{2}x+2x=-2x+2x-5

\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{4}{2}x=-5

\frac{1+4}{2}x=-5

\frac{5}{2}x=-5

\frac{2}{5}\cdot \frac{5}{2}x=-5\cdot \frac{2}{5}

x=-2

Upon substituting x=-2 in equation y=-2x-9, we will get:

y=-2(-2)-9

y=4-9

y=-5

Therefore, the solution of our given system of equations would be (-2,-5) and option A is the correct choice.

A truck can be rented from Company A for ​$100 a day plus ​$0.20 per mile. Company B charges ​$60 a day plus ​$0.70 per mile to
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write the rental cost with each company:

Company A Pa = 100 + 0.2*m

Company B Pb = 60 + 0.7*m

Where m: miles travelled

Now, we need to find "number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same". This means Pa = Pb. Then:

100 + 0.2*m = 60 + 0.7*m

Solving the equation for m by taking 0.2m and 60 on both sides:

100 + 0.2*m - 0.2*m - 60 = 60 + 0.7*m - 0.2*m - 60

40 = 0.5*m

Finally, dividing 0.5 on both sides:

m = 80

Find the mean of the following data set. 42, 45, 58, 63 42 47 52
vredina [299]
You have to add all the numbers and then with that sum divide it by the number of numbers. In this case it would be 42+45+58+63+42+47+52=349. Now divide that by the numbers of numbers which in this case is 7, ~49.85(answer).
