What is the solution to the equation 7/8 (x-1/2)= -49/80

Mathematics

Step One 
Multiply both sides by 80
7/8(x - 1/2)*80 = (-49/80) * 80

Step Two
7(x - 1/2 ) * 10 = - 49                Divide both sides by  7
(x - 1/2) * 10 = -49/7   
(x - 1/2) * 10 = - 7                       Remove the brackets on the left.
10x - (1/2)*10 = -7
10x - 5 = - 7                                Add 5 to both sides.
10x = -7 + 5
10x = -2                                   Divide by 10
x = -2/10 
x = - 0.2

Step Three
Check
We better check this one.
7/8*(-0.2 - 1/2)
7/8* (-.2 - 0.5)
7/8* (-0.7)   
- 4.9/8 Now you can do one of two things. The easiest and simplest is to multiply top and bottom by 10

-4.9*10 / 8 * 10
-49 / 80 Which is the same as the right hand side.

How many cubes with a side length of 3 cm can be placed inside a box with length of 18 cm, width of 6 cm and height of 9 cm?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

36 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the number of cubes:

first, identify the volume of the box using the formula: LxWxH

18cm x 6cm x 9cm = 972 cm³

next, identify the volume of the cube to be placed:

given: cube with a side length of 3 cm

Thus, volume of the cube is 3³=27cm³

To identify the number of cubes, divide the volume of the box to the volume of the cubes. 972/27 = 36. Thus we need 36 cubes.

A ball was kicked into the air from a balcony 20 feet above the ground, and the ball’s height above the ground, in feet, t secon
Svet_ta [14]
h(t)=20-16t^2+32t \\ \Downarrow \\ h(t)=-16t^2+32t+20 \\ \\
a=-16 \\ b=32

The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex (x,y) of the parabola.
First find the x-coordinate using the formula:
x=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-32}{2 \times (-16)}=\frac{-32}{-32}=1

Now plug the value into the equation and find the y-coordinate:
y=h(x)=h(1)=-16 \times 1^2+32 \times 1+20=-16+32+20=36

The maximum height is 36 feet.

Please solve-y(2+4y)
Elina [12.6K]
To solve this, you distribute the -y to both terms, 2 and 4y.
It will look something like this: (2*-y)+(4y*-y)
When you simplify, look for any like terms that can be combined, and if none, then leave it as it is. 
Your final answer will be: -2y-4y^2
