Given that 2(-x + 4)=3 prove that x=5/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So firstly, you want to distribute. It'll make your life much easier.

-2x + 8 = 3

-2x = -5 (subtracting 8 from both sides)

x = 5/2 (dividing both sides by -2 to obtain x)

Hope this helps :)

user100 [1]

Answer:

3/16 or 0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 - ((3/8)/2/3))

= 3/4 - 3/8 * 3/2

= 3/4 - 9/16

= 12/16 - 9/16

= 3/16 or 0.1875

Statements that are true for a cylinder with radius r and height h.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Only the second and third statements are correct:

Doubling <em>r</em> quadruples the volume.

Doubling <em>h</em> doubles the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h

We can go through each statement and examine its validity.

Statement 1)

If the radius is doubled, our new radius is now 2<em>r</em>. Hence, our volume is:

\displaystyle V=\pi (2r)^2h=4\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is quadrupled the original volume.

Statement 1 is not correct.

Statement 2)

Using the previous reasonsing, Statement 2 is correct.

Statement 3)

If the height is doubled, our new height is now 2<em>h</em>. Hence, our volume is:

V=\pi r^2(2h)=2\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume has been doubled.

Statement 3 is correct.

Statement 4)

Statement 4 is not correct using the previous reasonsing.

Statement 5)

Doubling the radius results in 2<em>r</em> and doubling the height results in 2<em>h</em>. Hence, the new volume is:

V=\pi (2r)^2(2h)=\pi (4r^2)(2h)=8\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is increased by eight-fold.

Statement 5 is not correct.

△ABC ≅ △DEF, EF = x 2 - 7, and BC = 4x - 2.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

△ABC ≅ △DEF,

EF = x 2 - 7, and

BC = 4x - 2.

To Find:

the values of x. = ?

Solution:

△ABC ≅ △DEF      ........Given

If two Triangles are congruent then the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

∴ BC ≅ EF   ...................CPCTC

Substituting the values we get

4x-2=x^{2}-7\\x^{2}-4x-5=0

Now By Factorizing we get

x^{2}-5x+x-5=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\x+1=0\ or\ x-5=0\\x=-1\ or\ x=5\\x\ cannot\ be\ negative\\\therefore x=5

Therefore the value of x is 5.
