Answer:

b=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0.5(5−7b)=8−(4b+6)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0.5(5−7b)=8−(4b+6)

0.5(5−7b)=8+−1(4b+6)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

0.5(5−7b)=8+−1(4b)+(−1)(6)

0.5(5−7b)=8+−4b+−6

(0.5)(5)+(0.5)(−7b)=8+−4b+−6(Distribute)

2.5+−3.5b=8+−4b+−6

−3.5b+2.5=(−4b)+(8+−6)(Combine Like Terms)

−3.5b+2.5=−4b+2

Step 2: Add 4b to both sides.

−3.5b+2.5+4b=−4b+2+4b

0.5b+2.5=2

Step 3: Subtract 2.5 from both sides.

0.5b+2.5−2.5=2−2.5

0.5b=−0.5

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.5.

0.5b/0.5=−0.5/0.5

Solve the equation 4x^2 + 24x + 13 = 2x^2+ 6x to the nearest tenth.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

-0.8 and -8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a quadratic you first need to have one side of the equation equal to zero (because x-intercepts are when y is zero).

4x^2 + 24x + 13 = 2x^2 + 6x

2x^2 + 18x + 13 = 0

Then you can use the quadratic formula to solve for x. You will then come to

-18 ± sqrt(220) / 4

This will simplify out (rounding to the nearest tenth) to -0.8 and -8.2

A pharmacist has 80 milileters of a 25 percent saline solution. Which expression can be used to find the percentage of the conce

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Final concentration % = [grams of salt / mililiters of solution] * 100

grams of salt = grams of salt from solution 1 + grams of salt from solution 2

grams of salt from solution 1 = mililiters * %/100 = 80 mililiters * 0.25 g/mililiters = 20 g

grams of salt from solution 2 = mililiters *%/100 = x*0.10 g/mililiters = 0.1x

mililiters of final solution = mililiters from solution 1 + mililiters from solution 2

mililiters of final solution = 80 mililiters + x mililiters

=> Final concentration, % = [0,10x + 20 g] / [x + 80 mililiters] * 100

The tee for the sixth hole on a golf course is 305 yards from the tee. On that hole, Marsha hooked her ball to the left, as sket

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Correct answer is option D. 96.4 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure for labeling of the given diagram.

ABC is a triangle with the following labeling:

A is the hole, B is the Tee and C is the point where the ball is.

Sides are labeled as:

$a =255\ yd\\c = 305\ yd\\\angle B =17^\circ$

To find:

Side $b = ?$

Solution:

Here, we have one angle and two sides . Third side of the triangle is to be found opposite to the given angle.

We can use cosine formula here to find the value of the unknown side.

$cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac}$

Putting all the values:

$cos 17 = \dfrac{255^{2}+305^{2}-b^{2}}{2\times 255\times 305}\\\Rightarrow 0.956 = \dfrac{65025+93025-b^{2}}{155550}\\\Rightarrow 148753.2= 158050-b^{2}\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 158050-148753.2\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 9296.795\\\Rightarrow b= 96.42\ yd$

So, the distance between the Ball and hole is 96.42 yd

Correct answer is option D. 96.4 yd.

You can use a Scatter Plot to show the relationship between two sets of data. As you can see, this Scatter Plot shows the Speed in meters per second (m/s) versus the Distance in meters (m).

In the figure attached, the first point is (2,5), you need to move 2 on the axis "speed (m/s)" and 5 on the axis "distance (m)". This means that the first point is the intersection between 2 m/s and 5 m. The second point is (3,8), then, you need to move 3 on the axis "speed (m/s)" an 8 on the axis "distance (m)" You must do this with the other values.
