What is the solution to the following equation?

Mathematics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B. x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

               4x² - 48x = -144

Process

1.- Equal to zero

               4x² - 48x + 144 = 0

2.- Multiply 4 by 144

             4 x 144 = 576

3.- Find the prime factors of 576

                     576   2

                     288   2

                     144    2

                       72    2

                       36   2

                       18    2

                        9    3

                        3     3

                         1

4.- Find two numbers that added gives -48,

     these numbers are -24 and -24

5.- Write the equation using these numbers

              4x² -24x - 24x + 144 = 0

6.- Factor by grouping

             4x(x - 6) - 24(x - 6)

7.- Factor by like terms

             (x - 6)(4x - 24)

8.- Find the solutions

              x - 6 = 0           4x - 24 = 0                            

              x = 6                   4x = 24

                                        x = 24/4

                                        x = 6

Answer:

<h3>perpendicular line:    y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃ </h3><h3>  parallel line:              y = 6x - 45 </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6

6×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₆

 

The line y=-¹/₆ x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = -¹/₆ ×8 + b must be true

3 = -⁴/₃ + b

b = 4¹/₃

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6   ⇒   m₂=6

The line y=6x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = 6×8 + b must be true

3 = 48 + b

b = -45

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = 6x - 45

Which box of crackers is a better deal?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Since each cracker in the 190 gram box costs $ 0.0078 while the 850 gram box costs $ 0.0082 each, the 190 gram box is a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that a 190-gram box of crackers costs $ 1.49 and an 850-gram box costs $ 6.99, to determine which of them is a better deal, the following calculation must be performed:

1.49 / 190 = 0.0078

6.99 / 850 = 0.0082

Therefore, since each cracker in the 190 gram box costs $ 0.0078 while the 850 gram box costs $ 0.0082 each, the 190 gram box is a better deal.

Is 300 mm greater than 3 cm
rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 mm in 1 cm.

We have 300 mm, so let's convert this to cm by using a proportion:

\frac{10mm}{1cm} =\frac{300mm}{x} , where x is the number of cm in 300 mm.

Cross-multiplying, we get: 10x = 300, so x = 30 cm.

Clearly, 30 cm > 3 cm, so yes, 300 mm is greater than 3 cm.

Hope this helps!

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 70% pure anti
andre [41]

Answer:

First brand of antifreeze: 21 gallons

Second brand of antifreeze: 9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of  first brand of antifreeze. 20% pure antifreeze

Let's call B the amount of second brand of antifreeze. 70% pure antifreeze

The resulting mixture should have 35% pure antifreeze, and 30 gallons.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

A + B = 30

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

0.2A + 0.7B = 0.35 * 30

0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.7 and add it to the second equation:

-0.7A -0.7B = -0.7*30

-0.7A -0.7B = -21

-0.7A -0.7B = -21

               +

0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5

--------------------------------------

-0.5A = -10.5

A = \frac{-10.5}{-0.5}

A = 21\ gallons

We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.

21 + B = 30

B = 9\ gallons
