Solve the equation 2(x-10)= 24 , what is the value of x

N76 [4]

Answer:

$x=22$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(x-10)=24$

Distribute the parenthesis

$2x-20=24$

Add 20 to both sides

$2x=44$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{44}{2}$

$x=22$

Hope this helps

Question 1

If we let $FE=x$ , then $DE=x-5$ .

Also, as $\overline{DF}$ bisects $\overline{BC}$ , this means $BE=EC=6$ .

Thus, by the intersecting chords theorem,

$6(6)=x(x-5)\\\\36=x^2 - 5x\\\\x^2 - 5x-36=0\\\\(x-9)(x+4)=0\\\\x=-4, 9$

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning FE=9

Question 2

If we let CE=x, then because AB bisects CD, CE=ED=x.

We also know that since FB=17, the radius of the circle is 17. So, this means that the diameter is 34, and as AE=2, thus means EB=32.

By the intersecting chords theorem,

$2(32)=x^2\\\\64=x^2\\\\x=-8, 8$

However, as distance must be positive, we only consider the positive case, meaning CE=8

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

inna [77]

Answer:

The sample proportion of successful procedures is 0.962.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion of successful procedures is the number of successfiç procedures divided by the total number of procedures.

In this problem:

158 procedures, of which 152 were successful. So

p = 152/158 = 0.962

The sample proportion of successful procedures is 0.962.
