Answer:

14 weeks till he has $480

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs $480

He has $60

He has to earn the rest over the span of the next few weeks, which is $30 for an unknown number of weeks.

Let the unknown number be x in our equation

What he needs to buy the TV and Stereo system is $480 which is our total

The $60 dollars he received is a complete variable

hence we can say,<em> 30x+60=480</em>

<u>This is our equation</u> but it isn't simplified.

first, divide everything by 10(it is a common divisor)

<em>3x+6=48</em>

<em>subtract</em> 6 which is complete from the total

3x=42

Make x the subject and divide both sides by 3

x=14

so the unknown number of weeks is 14.

2x2-3x-2=x+4 select all the solutions
Papessa [141]
Solve for x over the real numbers:2 x^2 - 3 x - 2 = x + 4
Subtract x + 4 from both sides:2 x^2 - 4 x - 6 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:2 (x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 2:(x - 3) (x + 1) = 0
Split into two equations:x - 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:x = 3 or x + 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:Answer:  x = 3 or x = -1

the denominator of a fraction is 3 less than the numerator. If 5 is added to the numerator and denominator, the result is 5/6. F
Vitek1552 [10]
X=numerator
y=denominator
the sum of numerator and denominator=x+y
we suggest this system of equations:

y=x-3
(x+5) / (y+5)=5/6

we solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(x+5) / (x-3+5)=5/6
(x+5) / (x+2)=5/6
6(x+5)=5(x+2)
6x+30=5x+10
6x-5x=10-30
x=-20

y=x-3=-20-3=-23

Teh sum of the numerator an denominator=-20+(-23)=-43

Answer:    -43

A rectangular window measures 54 inches by 24 inches. There is an a = 14-inch wiper blade attached by a b = 5-inch arm at the ce
nika2105 [10]
It the wiper blade (and arm) made a full rotation, 2 circles would be formed.

One small circle with radius b, and a larger circle with radius a+b.


The areas of these 2 circles are respectively:

\pi b^2=\pi\cdot 5^2=25 \pi (in^2)    and

\pi (a+b)^2=\pi (14+5)^2=361\pi (in^2)


120° is 1/3 of a complete angle 360° which form a circle, so the areas formed by the arm of length b, and the arm + the wiper blade (a+b) are:

\frac{25 \pi}{3} and \frac{361\pi}{3} in squared respectively.

the actual wiped area is \frac{361\pi}{3}-\frac{25 \pi}{3}= \frac{336\pi}{3}=112\pi \approx351.7 (in squared)


Area of the window is 54*24= 1296 (in squared)

thus, the ratio of the wiped area to the whole area of the window is 351.7/1296=0.271

Converted to percentages, this is 27.1%


Answer: 27.1%
