12x+15=k(4x+5) What’s the value for the constant,k

Mathematics

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's expand out the parentheses on the right side of the equation:

k(4x + 5) = k * 4x + 5 * k = 4kx + 5k

In order for these two sides to be equal, the coefficient of x on both sides need to be the same and the constants on both sides need to be the same. So, set each term equal to its corresponding term on the other side:

12x = 4kx

and

15 = 5k

We can easily solve for k and see that k = 3.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

3=k

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+15=k(4x+5)

Factor out a 3 from each of the terms on the right

3*4x +3*5 = k(4x+5)

3(4x+5) = k(4x+5)

Divide each side by (4x+5)

3(4x+5)/(4x+5) = k(4x+5)/(4x+5)

3 = k

85-4÷9×10 has a value of 90 where do i put the parentheses?
andrew-mc [135]

You have to put the parentheses like this:

(85-4) \div 9 \times 10

In fact, you have to perform the operation inside parentheses first, and then proceed in order:

81 \div 9 \times 10 = 9 \times 10 = 90

How to solve tan(x+π)+2sin(x+π)=0?
Reil [10]
We are asked in the problem to solve for x in the expression tan(x+π)+2sin(x+π) = 0. tan theta is equal to sin theta over cos theta. Hence, the expression results to tan (x+π) = sin (x+π) / cos (x+π) = -2sin (x+π). Thus, 1/cos (x+π) = -2. cos (x+π) = -1/2, cosine becomes negative in the third and fourth quadrants. cosine is 1/2 when the terminal angle is pi/3. x is equal to pi/3 then and 5 pi/6.

The population of Guatemala in 2000 was 12.7 million.
kow [346]

Since the population of Guatemala follows an exponential growth, therefore the equation describing the population over time should be in the form:

p = p0 (1 + r)^t

where,

p = is the population at specified time t

p0 = is the initial population (measured starting year 2000) = 12.7 m

r = the growth rate

t = time in years

 

A. Calculating for the growth rate r when p = 30 and t = 20:

30 = 12.7 (1 + r)^20

1 + r = (30 / 12.7)^(1/20)

r = (30 / 12.7)^(1/20) – 1

r = 0.0440

 

So the equation is:

p = p0 (1.0440)^t

 

 

B. Calculating for the growth rate r when p = 30 and t = 125:

30 = 12.7 (1 + r)^125

1 + r = (30 / 12.7)^(1/125)

r = (30 / 12.7)^(1/125) – 1

r = 0.0069

 

So the equation is:

p = p0 (1.0069)^t
