Adding 7x to both sides of the equation

Your answer would be

A. Adding 7x to both sides of the equation

And in doing so, you'd start your first step to having "like terms" on "like sides"
by having all "x's" on the right side of your equivalent sign "="

Leezas aquarium holds 55 gallons of water. She is filling the tank and has already put in 22 gallons. Write and solve an inequal

svp [43]

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Capacity of aquarium = 55 gallons of water

Water already in aquarium = 22 gallons

Let,

x be the number of gallons that can be added in aquarium.

As aquarium can hold 55 gallons of water, therefore, we cannot add more than 55 gallons of water.

$x+22\leq 55$

Subtracting 22 from both sides

$x+22-22\leq 55-22\\x\leq 33$

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

What is the factored form of 8x2 + 12x? 4(4x2 + 8x) 4x(2x + 3) 8x(x + 4) 8x(x2 + 4)

earnstyle [38]

So I'm guessing that the x2 is your way of saying 2 is the exponent right? In that case the equation would be 8x^2 + 12x
Well you would have to pull out the gcf which in this case will be 4x after pulling out the gcf you should get 4x(2x + 3)

Find each product or quotient. Use significant digits. 1,370 m 31.7 s

Dvinal [7]

I think you are asking for the quotient of the numbers because base from the choices the units are meters per second and the given has units of meters and seconds. So, the quotient of the numbers is 43.218 meters per second which is option B.

Establish for which constants c the following function is a density.

Valentin [98]

By "density" I assume you mean "probability density function". For this to be the case for $f(x)$ , we require

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=1$

Since

$f(x)=\begin{cases}cx^{1/2}&\text{for }0$

you have

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^2cx^{1/2}\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{2c}3x^{3/2}\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=2}=\dfrac{2^{5/2}c}3=1$

which means

$c=\dfrac3{2^{5/2}}=\dfrac3{4\sqrt2}$
