If unrounded the answer would be 607.5 men but if rounded it would be 608 men
Answer:
Damon is 18, Damon's brother is 11 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, the total age of them both is 29. Damon is 7 years older, so we use 29-7=22. Now, 22 is Damon's brother's age times 2, so we use 22/2=11. 11 is Damon's age is 11+7=18, and His brothers age is 11.
Answer: x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 17x from both sides.
13x+15−17x=17x−13−17x
−4x+15=−13
Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.
−4x+15−15=−13−15
−4x=−28
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x/−4 =−28/−4
x=7
Answer:
The solution of the equations are -6 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
- We want to find the solution of the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12
- <em>At first lets use the Foil method to multiply the two brackets</em>
(x + 2) (x + 3) = (x)(x) + (x)(3) + (2)(x) + (2)(3)
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 ⇒ add the like term
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6
∵ (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12
∴ x² + 5x + 6 = 12
- Subtract 12 from both sides
∴ x² + 5x - 6 = 0
- <em>Factorize the left hand side</em>
∵ x² = (x)(x)
∵ -6 = 6 × -1
∵ 6x + -1x = 5x
∴ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
- <em>Lets use the zero product property </em>
∵ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
∴ x + 6 = 0 ⇒ <em>OR</em> ⇒ x - 1 = 0
∵ x + 6 = 0
- Subtract 6 from both sides
∴ x = -6
∵ x - 1 = 0
- Add 1 to both sides
∴ x = 1
∴ The solution of the equations are -6 and 1
Answer:
- 8° per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Station A = - 6°
Station B = 2°
Rate of temperature change = x° / hour ; which is the same at both stations
Temperature at station A 3 hours after the recording is the same as the temperature in station B 4 hours after the recording ;
Temperature change in Station A:
-6 + 3x
Temperature change in station B:
2 + 4x
Temperature change in A = temperature change in B
-6 + 3x = 2 + 4x
Collect like terms
3x - 4x = 2 + 6
- x = 8
x = - 8
Hence, the rate of temperature change x in both stations is - 8° per hour
