Solve for x. 3x+1/14=2x/8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
5 0
It depends if it is
1. 3x+(1/14)=(2x)/8 or
2. (3x+1)/14=(2x)/8

if it is 1

1.
3x+(1/14)=2x/8
simplify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
3x+(1/14)=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
84x+2=7x
subtract 7x from both sides
77x+2=0
subtract 2 from both sides
77x=-2
divide both sides by 77
x=-2/77


2.
(3x+1)/14=2x/8
simpify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
(3x+1)/14=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
(2)(3x+1)=7x
distribute
6x+2=7x
subtract 6x from both sides
2=x

A campground owner has 24002400 m of fencing. he wants to enclose a rectangular field bordering a​ river, with no fencing along
Free_Kalibri [48]
We define variables:
 x = represent the width of the field
 y = represent the length of the field
 We write the perimeter (with no fencing along the river):
 2400 = 2x + y
 We clear y:
 y = 2400-2x
 Answer:
 
an expression for the length of the field as a function of x is:
 
y = 2400-2x

10. what is the volume of the prism to the nearest whole unit?
Ainat [17]
To calculate the volume of the rectangular prism and the triangular prism you will multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism.

1.  V = BH
     V = lwH
           12 x 8 x 4
     V = 384 cubic inches

2.   V = BH
      V = 1/2bhH
            1/2 x 12 x 2 x 18
      V = 216 cubic feet

A sphere has a volume of V=900 in cubed. What is the surface area?
ycow [4]
First, we must solve for the radius of the sphere:
V=\frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}
r=(3\frac{V}{4 \pi })^{ \frac{1}{3} }
r=(3*\frac{900}{4 \pi })^{ \frac{1}{3} }
r≈5.99

Second, we must solve for surface area:
A=4\pir^{2}
A=4*\pi*5.99^{2}
A≈450.88 in^{2}
