Answer:
x = 41
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x+20) + (2x-4) = 180 degrees
4x+16 = 180 degrees
4x = 164
x = 41
The two sides are supplementary and add up to 180 degrees.
Answer:
Option b is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph in the picture is the graph of a quadratic equation and it takes the shape of a parabola.
The points on the x axis through which the parabola cuts across is used to determine the solution of the quadratic equation.
Looking at the parabola formed from the plotted points, it cuts the x axis at
x = -1 and x= -2
These are the factors of the equation. To get the equation, we multiply the factors.
x= -1, x +1 = 0
x =-2 , x + 2= 0
The equation is (x+1)(x+2)
Expanding the brackets,
x×x + x×2 +1×x + 1×2
= x^2 + 2x + x +2
= x^2 + 3x +2 = 0
Option b is the correct answer
I would say it could be 35
Answer:
Noah needs 8 pounds of the coffee that costs $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of the coffee that costs $5.50 per pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 9.20 be x while the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 5.5 be y.
From the question, we know he wants to make 20 pounds of coffee
Thus;
x + y = 20 •••••••••••(i)
Let’s now work with the values
For the $9.20 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total will be 9.20 * x = $9.20x
For the $5.5 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total be 5.5 * y = $5.5y
The total cost is 20 pounds at $6.98 per pound: that would be 20 * 6.98 = $139.6
Thus by adding the two costs together we have a total of $139.6
So we have our second equation;
9.2x + 5.5y = 139.6 •••••••(ii)
From i, y = 20 - x
Let’s substitute this in ii
9.2x + 5.5(20-x) = 139.6
9.2x + 110 -5.5x = 139.6
9.2x -5.5x = 139.6-110
3.7x = 29.6
x = 29.6/3.7
x = 8 pounds
Recall;
y = 20 - x
y = 20-8
y = 12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+1x= -2+1
3x= -1
3x÷3= -1÷3
x=|-3.3333..|=3.33333.. or
