Question 1.). Solve:

2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x)

Simplify both sides of equation:

2( x - 1 / 2 ) = 3(5 - 2x )

(2) (x) + (2) ( -1 / 2 ) = (3) (5) + (3) ( -2x )


Distribute:

2x + - 1 = 15 + -6x

2x - 1 = -6x + 15


Add 6x to both sides:

2x - 1 + 6x = -6x + 15 + 6x

8x - 1 = 15


Add 1 to both sides:

8x - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1

8x = 16


Divide both sides by 8:

8x / 8 = 16 / 8

Answer: 2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x) ==========> x = 2











Question 2.).

M =======> Amount Malik need

Solution: =========> m ≥ 5

Inequality ========> 8 + 7 + 10 + m ≥ 30

25 + m ≥ 30

Interpretation ==========> Malik needs at least, $5 .00 to get to, $30.00 or more.

Is the solution reasonable ===========> YES





Hope that helps!!!!! : )

The value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. write a function for the computers value V(t)
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Function for given situation is : V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Value of computer after 4 years = $720.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. Now we need to write a function for the computers value V(t). then we need to find about how much will the computer be worth in 4 years.

It clearly says that value decreases so that means function represents decay.

For decay we use formula:

A=P(1-r)^t

where P=initial value = $3000,

r= rate of decrease =30% = 0.30

t= number of years

A=V(t) = future value

so the required function is V(t)=3000(1-0.30)^t

or V(t)=3000(0.70)^t

Now plug t=4 years to get the value of computer after 4 years.

V(4)=3000(0.70)^4

V(4)=720.3

Hence final answer is $720.3.

Write the following expression as a fraction in lowest terms:
alukav5142 [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{2 + \cfrac{3}{3 + \cfrac{4}{4 + 5}}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{2 + \cfrac{3}{3 + \cfrac{4}{9}}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{2 + \cfrac{3}{\cfrac{31}{9}}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{2 + \cfrac{27}{31} }}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{ \cfrac{62+27}{31} }}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{2}{ \cfrac{89}{31} }}}\]=

\[2 + \cfrac{62}{{89} }}}\]=

\[2  \cfrac{62}{{89} }}}\]
