You cannot assume the angles add to 90, but you know since BD is an angle bisector that ABD is equal to DBC, or x-5=2x-6

x=1. this is the correct solution to the equation but gives negative angles when plugged in which isn't possible. there must be something wrong work the question

Are those supposed to be comas or decimal points , if they’re comas then i think the scientific notation would be 1.222 x 10^8

What two numbers can add to 4 but multiple to -12

olasank [31]

Answer:

<em>Numbers: 6 and -2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

This question can be solved by inspection. It's just a matter of factoring 12 into two factors that sum 4. Both numbers must be of different signs and they are 6 and -2. Their sum is indeed 6-2=4 and their product is 6*(-2)=-12.

However, we'll solve it by the use of equations. Let's call x and y to the numbers. They must comply:

$x+y=4\qquad\qquad [1]$

$x.y=-12\qquad\qquad [2]$

Solving [1] for y:

$y=4-x$

Substituting in [2]

$x(4-x)=-12$

Operating:

$4x-x^2=-12$

Rearranging:

$x^2-4x-12=0$

Solving with the quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

With a=1, b=-4, c=-12:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+48}}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm 8}{2}$

The solutions are:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{4+ 8}{2}=6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{4- 8}{2}=-2$

This confirms the preliminary results.

A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w)=24

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%

Simplify<br>1)5x+3=x+13<br>2)5/2x-1/X =1/6

Artyom0805 [142]

Step-by-step explanation (Question 1):

<u>Step 1: (Question 1): Subtract x from both sides.</u>

5x+3=x+13

5x+3−x=x+13−x

4x+3=13

<u>Step 2: (Question 1): Subtract 3 from both sides.</u>

4x+3−3=13−3

4x=10

<u>Step 3: (Question 1): Divide both sides by 4.</u>

4x/4 = 10/4

FIRST ANSWER: x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation (Question 2):

<u>Step 1: (Question 2): Multiply by LCM</u>

15x^2 - 6 = x

<u>Step 2: (Question 2): Solve 15x^2</u>

15x^2 - 6 = x:

x = 2/3

x = -3/5

<u>Step 3: (Question 2): Solve</u>

ANSWER: x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

See Attachment 1 for question 1 steps (FULL)

See Attachment 2 for question 2 steps (FULL)

Answer:

1) x = 5/2

2) x=0.666667 or x=−0.6

Hope this helps.
