The given equation is
0.75(x + 40) = 3(4x + 1) - 2

Expand the equation.
0.75x + 30 = 12x + 3 - 2
0.75 - 12x = 3 - 2 - 30
-11.25x = -29
x = -29/-11.25 = 2.5778

Answer: There is 1 solution, which is 2.5778.

Let's eliminate the fractional multiplier 0.75.  To do this, mult the entire equation by 4/3:

x+40 = (4/3)(3)(4x+1) - 2(4/3)

(4/3)(3) simplifies to just 4, so now we have:

x+40 = 4(4x+1) - 8/3

Mult. all 3 terms by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

3x + 120 = 12(4x+1) - 8

Perform the multiplication:

3x + 120  = 48x + 12 - 8,            or            116 = 45x

Solving for x,    x = 2.578, or     x = 7/90 (answer)


We could also simplify the original equation,  <span>0.75(x+40)=3(4x+1)-2, by multiplying all 3 terms by 100:

75x + 3000 = 1200x + 300 - 200

Then 3000 - 300 + 200 = 1125x, and x = 7/90 (same as before)</span>

Y+100=x^2 graph the following equation
enot [183]
Slope-intercept form is the easiest to help visualize graphs so you would isolate the y making it y = x^2 - 100. It is now clear to see that this is the parent graph of y=x^2 shifted down 100 units.

Kevin bought 3 dvds for 45.99 how much would 7 dvds cost?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I am pretty sure the answer would be $107.31. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take the total of the 3 DVD's (45.99) and you divide that by 3 (number of DVD's) to get 15.33 which is called the unit price. Then, you take your unit price and multiply that by how many items you are going to buy.

45.99 / 3 = 15.33

15.33 x 7 = 107.31

Hayden is organizing his assets and liabilities in the table below. If his net worth is $17,550, then how much does he have in h
77julia77 [94]

Answer: His checking account balance is $2,800.

Step-by-step explanation: What Hayden is doing is comparing his assets against his liabilities. This will determine his net worth. His assets ideally are those that increase his net worth such as landed properties, etc while his liabilities in the simplest language are those debts he is paying off either right away, or that he must pay off eventually.

In other words, to determine his net worth, Hayden has to add up all his assets and from the total derived, deduct his liabilities.

Consider the calculations below;

NET WORTH: $17,550

Add ASSETS  

                         Automobile               13600  

                         Retirement Account   6700

                         Checking Account      XX

Less LIABILITIES

                          Student Loan            4800

                          Credit card debt          750

Net Worth                                            <u>17550</u>

The above table can be simplified as follows;

Net worth = Assets - Liabilities

17550 = 20300 + XX - 5550

Collecting like terms, you now have;

17550 -20300 +5550 = XX

2800 = XX

The Checking Account represented by XX is now calculated as $2,800

Prove that the gregorian calendar repeats itself every 400 years.
Setler79 [48]

The calendar obviously has an integral number of years and months in 400 years. If it has an integral number of weeks, then it will repeat itself after that time. The rules of the calendar eliminate a leap year in 3 out of the four century years, so there are 97 leap years in 400 years. The number of excess days of the week in 400 years can be found by ...

(303·365) mod 7 + (97·366) mod 7 = (2·1 + 6·2) mod 7 = 14 mod 7 = 0

Thus, there are also an integral number of weeks in 400 years.

The first day of the week is the same at the start of every 400-year interval, so the calendar repeats every 400 years.
