How do you solve for 0.25(12-8p)=4p-9

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is p = 2.

Here are the steps I did.

1. Expand ( 3 - 2p = 4p - 9 )

2. Add 2p to both sides ( 3 = 4p - 9 + 2p )

3. Simplify 4p - 9 + 2p to 6p - 9 ( 3 = 6p - 9 )

4. Add 9 to both sides ( 3 + 9 = 6p )

5. Simplify 3 + 9 to 12 ( 12 = 6p )

6. Divide both sides by 6 ( 12/6 = p )

7. Simplify 12/6 to 2 ( 2 = p )

8. Now lastly switch it up ( p = 2 )

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial ? x^2 - x - 20

Travka [436]

(x-5)(x+4) is the factored version of this trinomial so if either of those values in the parenthesis are in the answer bank, choose those.

Slope is 3, and (1,4) is on the line.

3241004551 [841]

If you are looking for the equation of the line,

Use Point Slope Form

$y-y _{1} = m(x- x_{1})

$

y-4 = 3(x-1)
y-4 = 3x-3

y = 3x + 1

If sin phi sin theta = 0.2 and sin phi cos theta = -0.3 and sin phi > 0 what is theta ? Repeat for sin phi < 0.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

θ = -33.69°

Step-by-step explanation:

For Φ>0 and Φ<0 (in general Φ≠nπ where n is an integer), sin(Φ) ≠ 0

Dividing both equations:

$\frac{sin(\phi) sin(\theta)}{sin(\phi)cos(\theta)} = tan(\theta) = 0.2/(-0.3)=-2/3\\$

Therefore:

arctan(θ) = -2/3

θ = -33.69°

The answer does not depend on the sign of Φ, in fact we just need that the sine does not become zero, which occurs when Φ is equal to an integer times π (radians) or 180 (degrees)
