3(5j+2)=2(3j-6) how do i do this

2 answers:

Hello there!

To make this problem easier, let's get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the 3 and the 2!

3 (5j+2) becomes (3•5j) + (3•2) = 15j+ 6

2 (3j-6) becomes (2•3j) + (2• -6) = 6j-12

** be careful with the negative signs!!

So now you have:

15j+6 = 6j-12

Now, you simply move the numbers with the letters to one side of the equation. It doesn't matter which side.

15j - 6j = -12 - 6

Notice how when I bring over 6j the sign flips. It becomes -6j because you're subtracting it. When you do anything to one side of the equation, you must do the same to the other! :)

So now:

9j = -18

Now you divide both sides by 9! Why 9? Because 9 has a j attached to it. You're trying to solve for j (the value of the variable/letter).

So it's:

j = -2

And that's your answer!

I hope this helped!! :D

Tip: If you're still confused on when to subtract or divide, I suggest going to Khan Academy to watch their videos on Algebra 1, or just searching up similar problems on YouTube. :) Do whatever works for you!

3(5j+2)=2(3j-6) do distributed to remove parenthesis 15j+6=6j-3 . Then move all j to left side and the second term to right side 15j-6j=-3-6. Now solve both sides 9j= -9. Now divide both sides by 9 to get j alone to j = -1

Determine the volume and the total surface area of the square pyramid.if its perpendicular height is 12cm and square length is 5

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Volume = 100 cm³

Surface area of the square pyramid = 145 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perpendicular height = 12cm

Square length = 5cm

Find:

Volume

Surface area of the square pyramid

Computation:

Area of base = side²

Area of base = 5²

Area of base = 25 cm²

Volume = (1/3)(A)(h)

Volume = (1/3)(25)(12)

Volume = 100 cm³

Surface area of the square pyramid = A + 1/2(P)(h)

Perimeter square pyramid = 4(s)

Perimeter square pyramid = 4(5)

Perimeter square pyramid = 20 cm

Surface area of the square pyramid = 25 + 1/2(20)(12)

Surface area of the square pyramid = 145 cm²

Mrs Franklin's speedometer said she was driving at a rate of 48 miles per hour. When checking the accuracy of her speedometer, a

Ket [755]

The percent error is 4.167 %

Solution:

Given that, Mrs Franklin's speedometer said she was driving at a rate of 48 miles per hour

When checking the accuracy of her speedometer, an Automotive Specialist recorded her speed at 50 miles per hour

The percent error is given by formula:

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

$\text{Percent error } = \frac{\text{experimental-theoretical}}{theoretical} \times 100$

From given,

Experimental value = 50

Theoretical value = 48

Substituting the values in formula, we get,

$Percent\ Error = \frac{50-48}{48} \times 100\\\\Percent\ Error = \frac{2}{48} \times 100\\\\Percent\ Error = 4.167$

Thus the percent error is 4.167 %

Point E is the midpoint of ab and point f is the midpoint of CD

Lorico [155]

AB is bisected by CD (TRUE). This is True because E is the midpoint between A and B and CD passes through E

CD is bisected by AB (FALSE) CD is bisected by point F and not AB

AE = 1/2 * AB (TRUE) since E is the midpoint of AB , E divides AB into two equal halves

EF = 1/2 * ED (FALSE) The true statement would have been CF = 1/2* CD

FD = EB (FALSE) sinc we do not know if CD and AB are of the same lengths

CE + EF = ED (TRUE) since F is the midpoint the sum of CE and EF is equal to ED
