Rearrange the following equation to solve for x. y=1/2x+10

1 answer:

6 0

In order to solve this we must first,

Subtract both sides of the equation by 10,
y-10=1/2x

Now we have to multiply both sides by 2 so that only x is left.

2y-20=x

Therefore, x=2y-20

If f(x)=1/x+2/x, then f(1/3)=

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f(1/3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=1/x+2/x

Combine terms

f(x) = 3/x

f(1/3) = 3 / (1/3)

f(1/3) = 9

Suppose an airplane climbs 15 feet for every 40 feet it moves forward. What is the slope of this airplanes ascent?

Goryan [66]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the same as rise over run, or y/x. In this case, rise over run is 15 over 40, or 15/40. Simplified, this is 3/8.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$
