3×2+4×5=70 prove it's true by adding a bracket​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
4 0

In the current order of that equation, there is no way to place parentheses/brackets and have it equal 70. I shall explain below.

The factors of 70: 1 and 70, 2 and 35, 5 and 14, 7 and 10

Now, let's experiment with places to put parentheses:

  • 3 x (2 + 4 x 5) = 3(2 + 20) = 3(22) = 66
  • (3 x 2 + 4) x 5 = (6 + 4)(5) = (10)(5) = 50
  • 3 x (2 + 4) x 5 = 3(6)(5) = (18)(5) = 90
  • 3 x 2 + (4 x 5) = 6 + 20 = 26
  • (3 x 2) + 4 x 5 = 6 + 20 = 26
  • (3 x 2 + 4 x 5) = (6 + 20) = 26

Notice how the factors of 70 appear nowhere?

The first point is parentheses around the last three constants and it's the closest you'll get. The second point is parentheses around the first three constants and it's up there but not quite 70. The third point is around the middle constants and it's over our number. The fourth, fifth, and sixth points are basically if you were to do the problem straight-up using the order of operations but you added unnecessary parentheses.

The only way this problem <em>would</em> be possible is if you were to switch the places of the 2 and the 4 and make the equation: 3 x 4 + 2 x 5

If it were this, you could do:

(3 x 4 + 2) x 5

= (12 + 2)(5)

= (14)(5)

= 70

The factors 5 and 14 can be made thus satisfying the equality equation.

HOWEVER, I do not believe there are any properties or mathematical principles to allow you to switch the positions of the constants considering we are mixing operations in one equation. If you can think of something that would allow you to switch the positions and maintain the integrity of the equation, that is the only way you can solve this problem.

Solve the solution of the equations 10x-3y=3 and 2x+y=9
forsale [732]

Answer:

x=1.875   y=-0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-3y=3                     10x-3y=3

3(2x+y)=(9)3                +<u>6x+3y=27</u>

                               1/16(16x)=(30)1/16  = x=1.875

   10x-3y=3                  10x-3y=3

 -5(2x+y)=(9)-5           -<u>10x-5y=4  </u>                        

                                    1/-8(-8y)=(7)1/-8 = y=-0.875

Linear functions can be used to find the price of a building based on its floor area below are two of these functions,
Alborosie

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

Part A) Find and compare the slopes

we have

Function 1

y=40x+15,000

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

where

y is the price of the building in thousands

x is the floor area in square foot

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=\$40\ per\ ft^2

Function 2

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

take two points from the data in the table

(400,32,000) and (700,56,000)

<u><em>Remember that the price in the table is in thousands</em></u>

substitute

m=\frac{56,000-32,000}{700-400}

m=\$80\ per\ ft^2

The slope of the Function 2 is greater than the slope of the Function 1

The slope of the Function 2 is two times the slope of the Function 1

Part B) Find and compare the y-intercept

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

Function 1

y=40x+15,000

For x=0

y=40(0)+15,000=\$15,000

Function 2

Find the equation in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=80\\point\ (400,32,000)

substitute

y-32,000=80(x-400)

Convert to slope intercept form

isolate the variable y

y-32,000=80x-32,000\\y=80x

For x=0

y=80(0)=0

The y-intercept of the function 1 is $15,000 and the y-intercept of the function 2 is zero (the line passes through the origin)

Part C) Describe each function as proportional or non proportion

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

so

Function 1

y=40x+15,000 -----> is a non proportional linear function (because the line has a y-intercept)

Function 2

y=80x ----> is a proportional linear equation (the line passes through the origin)
