The distance on the number line from -10 to -2 equals 5x – 12. What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
4 0

It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

In the matrix equation below, what are the values of x and y?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The value of x = 5 and y = 2

The correct answer is last option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that, subtraction of two matrices.

The resultant matrix shows the corresponding terms difference.

<u>To find the value of x</u>

1/2(x + 3) - (3*(-1)) = 7

x/2 + 3/2 +3 = 7

x/2 +3/2 = 7 - 3 = 4

x + 3 = 8

x = 8 - 3 = 5

x = 5

<u>To find the value of y</u>

8/2  -3 (y +1) = -5

4 - 3(y +1)/ = -5

3(y +1)  = 4 + 5  = 9

y + 1 = 9 / 3 = 3

y = 3 - 1 = 2

Therefore the value of x = 5 and y = 2

The correct answer is last option

What is the simplest radical form of the expression? (8x5y3)2/3
kirza4 [7]

The simplest radical form of the expression is \mathbf{40 ^{2/3}x^{{10}/{3}}y^2}.

<h3>What is the simplification of power indices?</h3>

When we have indices in the form \mathbf{ax^{2/3}}, we are going to find the cube root of the (ax)². This can be mathematically expressed as:

\mathbf{=(\sqrt[3]{ax})^2 }

From the given information:

\mathbf{=(8x^55y^3)^{2/3}}

\mathbf{=(\sqrt[3]{8x^55y^3} } )^2

\mathbf{=(\sqrt[3]{40x^5y^3} } )^2

= (\sqrt[3]{40x^5} \times  \sqrt[3]{y}^3)^2

\mathbf{= 40 ^{2/3}x^{{5*2}/{3}}y^2}

\mathbf{= 40 ^{2/3}x^{{10}/{3}}y^2}

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

(8 - 12 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{2} y = 8

\frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{4} y = - 5

Multiply both equations through by 4 to clear the fractions

x - 2y = 32 → (1)

2x + 3y = - 20 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 2x + 4y = - 64 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 7y = - 84

7y = - 84 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 12

Substitute y = - 12 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x - 2(- 12) = 32

x + 24 = 32 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x = 8

solution is (8, - 12 )

Let $f(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial such that $f(-4) = -22,$ $f(-1)=2$, and $f(2)=-1.$ Let $g(x) = f(x)^{16}.$ Find the sum of
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The sum of the coefficients of the terms in (-1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4)¹⁶ that have even degree is  -4273411167.501

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

f(-4) = -22

f(-1) = 2

f(2) = -1

g(x) = f(x)¹⁶

The function f(x) is presented as follows;

f(x) = a·x² + b·x +c

We have;

-22 = a·(-4)² + b·(-4) +c

-22 = a·16 - 4·b +c ..............(1)

2 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) +c

2 = a - b +c...........................(2)

-1 = a·(2)² + b·(2) +c

-1 = 4·a + 2·b +c...................(3)

Solving the equations (1), (2), and (3) by using an online linear systems solver, we get;

a = -1.5, b = 0.5, c = 4

Therefore, f(x) = -1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4

f(x)¹⁶ = (-1.5·x² + 0.5·x + 4)¹⁶ which gives the coefficients of the even terms as follows;

656.841 - 19267.331 + 248302.054 - 1772904.419 + 6735603.932 - 2868054.635 - 119602865.901 + 750783340.827 + -2542435585.611 + 5338903756.992 - 6048065910.25 -1031335136 + 17223697920 - 32238338048 + 32107397120 - 17716740096 = -4273411167.501.

The outside of a picture frame measures 14 in and 20 in 196in^2 of the picture shows find the thickness of the frame
LuckyWell [14K]
The described picture frame can be visualized into two separate parts. The first area is equal to the area using the outermost dimensions for the length and width. 
             Area = Length x Height
              Area = (20 in) x (14 in) 
              Area = 280 in²

We are given that the area is only equal to 192 in². We subtract this value from the computed area.
         Difference = 280 in² - 192 in²
               difference = 88 in²

This area is equal to the area of the hollow space inside the frame. That is equal to,
      height = 20 in - 2x
      length = 14 in - 2x

The area,
               88 = (20 - 2x)(14 - 2x)

Simplify the right hand side of the equation.
             88 = 280 - 68x + 4x²

Divide the equation by 4,
            22 = 70 - 17x + x²

Transposing,
                x² - 17x - 48 = 0
The factors of the equation is 58.2. 

Thus, the thickenss is equal to 58.2 in
