Find the value of x in the equation x⁄ 4 + x⁄14 + x⁄17 = 71

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

33769/181

Discussion:

Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives

x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17)  = 71       (*)

Use common factor (17*14*4  = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:

1/4 =  (17*14)/ 952  = 238/952

1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952

1/17 = (14*4)/952  = 56/952

so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 =    (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 =  362/952 = 181/476

Substituting in (*) gives

x ( 181/476)  = 71                       => multiply both sides by 476/181

x = (71 * 476)/181                       => 71* 476 =33769

x = 33769/181

Thank you,

MrB

What is the polynomial of 3,4
Sav [38]

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of x in its expression. Constant (non-zero) polynomials, linear polynomials, quadratics, cubics and quartics are polynomials of degree 0, 1, 2 , 3 and 4 respectively. The function f(x)=0 is also a polynomial, but we say that its degree is 'undefined'.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The 3rd choice: 2/3 tank - 1/6 tank = 1/2 tank

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume those numbers are fractions.

The gas tank of Wendy’s car was 2/3 full. She used 1/6 of a tank of gas when driving to and from work. Which equation shows how full the gas tank is now?

We subtract 1/6 from 2/3. We need to use the common denominator 6.

2/3 - 1/6 = 4/6 - 1/6 = 3/6

Now we reduce 3/6.

2/3 - 1/6 = 1/2

Answer: 2/3 tank - 1/6 tank = 1/2 tank

There are 2.5 grams of niacin contained in the bottle.

First you have to find how many milligrams are in the bottle.

So you multiply 125 by 20 since there are 125 tablets and 20 milligrams in each one.

125*20=2500

So there are 2500 milligrams in the bottle. Then you have to convert it into grams. To do that you divide the mass by 1000.

2500/1000=2.5

So there are 2.5 grams in the bottle.
