Answer:

The value of A is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

- The number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a number

  divisible by 3

- Ex: 126 is divisible by 3 because the sum of its digits = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

  and 6 is divisible by 3

- The number is divisible by 5 if its ones digit is zero or 5

- Ex: 675 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 5

        890 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 0

- We are looking for the value of A in the 4-digit number 3A5A which

  makes the number divisible by both 3 and 5

∵ A is in the ones position

∴ A must be zero or 5

- Let us try A = 0

∵ A = 0

∴ The number is 3050

∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 8

∵ 8 is not divisible by 3

∴ 3050 is not divisible by both 3 and 5

∴ A can not be zero

- Let us try A = 5

∵ A = 5

∴ The number is 3555

∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 18

∵ 18 is divisible by 3

∴ 3555 is divisible by both 3 and 5

∴ A must be equal 5

* <em>The value of A is 5</em>

The equation 2x^2 + x - 1 = 0 has two solutions. Find an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, which solutions....
leonid [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution to

2x^2 + x -1 =0

x^2+ (1/2)x -(1/2)

are a and b

Hence a + b = -(1/2) ( minus the coefficient of x )

ab = -1/2 (the constant)

A. We want to have an equation where the roots are a +5 and b+5.

Therefore the sum of the roots is (a+5) + (b+5) = a+ b +10 =(-1/2) + 10 =19/2.

The product is (a+5)(b+5) =ab + 5(a+b) + 25 = (-1/2) + 5(-1/2) + 25 = 22.

So the equation is

x^2-(19/2)x + 22 =0

2x^2-19x + 44 =0

B. We want the roots to be 3a and 3b.

Hence (3a) + (3b) = 3(a+b) = 3(-1/2) =-3/2 and

(3a)(3b) = 9(ab) =9(-1/2)=-9/2.

So the equation is

x^2 +(3/2) x -9/2 = 0

2x^2 + 3x -9 =0.

What is the value of x in the figure?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x =68

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x+22 = 90 because the sum of the two angles is a vertical angle to the right angle and vertical angles are equal.


x+22 =90

Subtract 22 from each side

x+22-22 = 90-22

x =68

Find a rational number halfway in between 1/2 and 4/9
Valentin [98]
Required number = 1/2 (2/7 + 3/4) = 1/2 ((8 + 21)/28) = {1/2 × 29/28) = 29/56 Hence, 29/56 is a rational number lying halfway between 2/7 and 3/4.
