It rained for approximately 10.09 hours.
6 2/3 divided by 2/3 = 10.09

(X-3) (2x-3)= (x-3) (x+1) solve for x

yanalaym [24]

$(x - 3)(2x - 3) = (x - 3)(x + 1)$

Do the multiplication both sides,

$2 {x}^{2} - 9x + 9 = {x}^{2} - 2x - 3$

Arrange the terms to LHS according to their variables,

$2 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} - 9x + 2x + 9 - 3 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 7x + 6 = 0$

Factorise this polynomial

${x}^{2} - 6x - 6x + 6 = 0 \\ x(x - 6) - (x - 6) = 0 \\ (x - 1)(x - 6) = 0$

So what we notice here is when you're multiplying two numbers you're getting 0 as answer.

So one of them must be 0.

If (x-1) is 0
then x = 1

similarly,

x-6=0

then, x= 6.

So the possible values of x are 1 and 6.

Help algebra word problems a quire of paper consists of 25 sheets, and a ream of paper consists of 500 sheets. how many quires a

Natali5045456 [20]

Good morning from Canada!

What we know:
-quire=25 sheets
-ream=100 sheets

So, we are looking for how many quires can fit into a ream. All we have to do is divide the number of sheets in a ream (100) by the number of sheets in a quire (25) because dividing allows us to see how many times a specific number can go into another number, which is what we are looking for. (How many quires are in a ream).

100/25=4

Therefore 4 quires can fit into a ream.

Hope this helps!

The half-life of lead is 22 years. How long will it take for a sample of this substance t decay to 80% of its original amount?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

$t_{\frac{1}{2} }$ = In2 / ∧

since the half life is given , we have :

22 = In 2/ ∧

∧ = In2/22

∧ = 0.032

Recall the formula for half life:

$\frac{N(t)}{N(0)}$ = $e^{-∧t}$

Therefore:

0.80 = $e^{-0.032t}$

Take the In of both sides

In 0.80 = - 0.032t

t = In 0.80 / - 0.032

t = 7 years

Let x represents the amount of a transaction and let f(x) represents the amount Isabel is charged for the transaction write a fu

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

$f(x) = \frac{Px}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P% of the transaction amount is charged in the account.

So, if the transaction amount is x, then the charge for that transaction will be

$\frac{ Px }{ 100 }$ .

Therefore, if f(x) represents the amount Isabel is charged for the transaction then we can write $f(x) = \frac{ Px }{ 100 }$ , where P% is the rate of charge. ( Answer )
