What is -6 ( x - 1 ) < -14 ( x - 5 ) ?
RideAnS [48]
-6 (x - 1) < -14 (x - 5)   Use the Distributive Property on both sides
 -6x + 6 < -14x + 60   Add 14 x to both sides
  8x + 6 < 60              Subtract 6 from both sides
        8x < 54              Divide both sides by 8
          x < 6\frac{3}{4}

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30miles per hour . American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520feet per minute. W
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The Bison is faster by 10 mph.

In 1 minute, the bison runs 3, 520 feet .

In 60 minutes, the bison would run  3520*60 feet  = 211, 200 feet per hour.

These are equivalent to 40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5, 280 feet. Hope this helps! ^-^

Q.The rectangular front windshield of the bus has the length of 1.5√3 m and the width of 1.5 m . The wipers are attached to the
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Area covered by wiper=area of arc(A0D)+area of traingleAOB+area of arc(BOC)

We know AO and OB are wipers,whose lengths are 1.5

In ∆ABC

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2

(1.5√3)^2+(1.5)^2=(AC)^2

2.25×3+2.25=(AC)^2

2.25×4=AC^2

AC=3

Also AO=1.5

similarly using Pythagoras theorem in ∆OBC

we get

OC=1.5

this shows that point O is the bisector of diagonal AC

so,AO=OC

also from property of rectangle we know that, diagonal bisects each other equally

so,O will also be the bisector of diagonal BD

hence OB=OD=1.5

AC=BD (property of triangle)

AC/2=BD/2

OB=OC,hence OB=OC=OD=OA=1.5=AD=BC

Hence OAD will be an equilateral triangle

so

angle OAD=60

similarly angleOBC=60

area of sector=angle of that sector ×area of circle/360

area of arc(AOD)+arc(BOC)=60/360 ×3.14 ×1.5×1.5 +60/360 ×3.14×1.5×1.5

=2×(60/360)×1.5×1.5

area of triangleAOB=area of rectangle/4 (diagonal divides the rectangle in 4 equal parts)

area of triangle=1.5×1.5√3/4

=>1.5×2.6/4=3.90/4

=0.975 or 0.98(approx)

Area covered by wiper=.98+2×60/360 ×3.14×1.5×1.5

=.98+0.75×3.14=2.35+0.97

=2.35+.98

Percentage of area of windshield covered by wiper=3.3×100/3.9=84.61

hence percentage of area of windshield covered by wiper is 85percent(approx)

How do i solve this problem by factoring?
AlekseyPX
Factor: Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

The first term is 15a^2, its' coefficient is 15

The middle term is - 58a, its' coefficient is - 58a

The last term is "The Constant" is +48

Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 15(48) = 720

Find two factors of 720, whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  -58

<span><span>-720    +    -1    =    -721 </span><span>      
-360    +    -2    =    -362 </span><span>      
-240    +    -3    =    -243 </span><span>      
-180    +    -4    =    -184 </span><span>      
-144    +    -5    =    -149 </span><span>      
-120    +    -6    =    -126 </span><span>      
-90    +    -8    =    -98 </span><span>      
-80    +    -9    =    -89 </span><span>      
-72    +    -10    =    -82 </span><span>      
-60    +    -12    =    -72 </span><span>      
-48    +    -15    =    -63 </span><span>      
-45    +    -16    =    -61 </span><span>     
 -40    +    -18    =    -58 </span></span>


Factoring: 15a^2  -  58a  +  48  = 0

Factor left side of equation:
(5a - 6)(3a - 8)


Set fractions equal to Zero
5a - 6 = 0  or  3a - 8 = 0


Answer :  a = 6/5 = 1.200  
or             a = 8/3 = 2.667






Hope that helps!!!!

What is the value of v
Marizza181 [45]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

In the given figure, the Angle (6v - 4)° forms vertical opposite angle pair with 50° , so their measures is equal to one another.

that is :

  • 6v - 4 = 50

  • 6v = 50 + 4

  • 6v = 54

  • v =  \dfrac{54}{6}

  • v = 9

therefore, value of v = 9°
