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

Mathematics

Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago

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

Clevon forms a triangle with three straws measuring 20, 25, and 18 inches. To the nearest whole
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label this triangle as triangle ABC.  Side AB is 18, side BC is 20 and side CA is 25 and the angle we are looking for is angle C.  Use the Law of Cosines to find the missing angle.  You have to use the Law of Cosines because in order to use the Law of Sines you have to have an angle given and we don't so we have no other options.  In our case,

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC which for us looks like this:

18^2=20^2+25^2-2(20)(25)cosC and

324=400+625-1000cosC and

324=1025-1000cosC and

-701=-1000cosC and

.701=cosC

Use the 2nd button and the cos button to find the missing angle.

Angle C = 45.4 which is, rounded to the nearest degree, 45°

What are the steps on how to calculate the mean absolute deviation
RUDIKE [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set. Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values. Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.

Joe sold a total of 10 baked goods. Each cookie costs $1.25 and each brownie costs $2.50. Joe made $20 at the bake sale. How man
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

4 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.

Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,

b +c= 10 -----(1)

Amount of money received= $20

b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20

2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)

From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)

Substitute (3) into (2):

2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20

Expand:

2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20

25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20

-1.25c +25= 20

Being constants to 1 side:

-1.25c= 20 -25

-1.25c= -5

c= -5 ÷(-1.25)

c= 4

Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.

Norma and Albert both clean pools. Each charges a flat fee to clean a pool. Norma cleans 12 pools in 8 hours and earns $270. Alb
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the ratio is shown below:

For norma, the one pool would be

= 12  pools ÷ 8 hours

= 1.5 per hour

And for albert, the one pool would be

= 9 pools ÷ 7.5 hours

= 1.2 per hour

So the ratio between them is

1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour
