A highway had a landslide, where 3,00 cubic yards of material fell on the road, requiring 200 dump truck loads to clear. On anot

her highway, a slide left 40,000 cubic yards on the road. How many dump truck loads would be needed to clear this slide?

Answer:

2667 dump truck loads

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise, we must resort to a proportion rule.

Knowing what happened in the first place, how much was needed, a direct proportion will be made with the other accident, be as follows.

Landslide                                     Dump Truck Loads

3 yd ^ 3 -------------------------------------------> 200

40 yd ^ 3 -------------------------------------------> X

X = (40 * 200) / 3

X = 2666.6, that is, for 40 cubic yards of sliding, approximately 2667 dump truck loads are needed.

3(2x-1)=5x+3+7x I do t get this cause I’m stupid
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 (2 x - 1) = 7 x + 5 x + 3

Grouping like terms, 7 x + 5 x + 3 = (5 x + 7 x) + 3:

3 (2 x - 1) = (5 x + 7 x) + 3

5 x + 7 x = 12 x:

3 (2 x - 1) = 12 x + 3

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

6 x - 3 = 12 x + 3

Subtract 12 x from both sides:

(6 x - 12 x) - 3 = (12 x - 12 x) + 3

6 x - 12 x = -6 x:

-6 x - 3 = (12 x - 12 x) + 3

12 x - 12 x = 0:

-6 x - 3 = 3

Add 3 to both sides:

(3 - 3) - 6 x = 3 + 3

3 - 3 = 0:

-6 x = 3 + 3

3 + 3 = 6:

-6 x = 6

Divide both sides of -6 x = 6 by -6:

(-6 x)/(-6) = 6/(-6)

(-6)/(-6) = 1:

x = 6/(-6)

The gcd of 6 and -6 is 6, so 6/(-6) = (6×1)/(6 (-1)) = 6/6×1/(-1) = 1/(-1):

x = 1/(-1)

1/(-1) = -1:

Answer: x = -1

B is the midpoint of AC. If Ab= x +5 and BC = 2x-11, find the measure of Ab.
LuckyWell [14K]

__________________________

Measurement of "AC" :

(x + 5) + (2x <span>− 11) ;
________________________

Find the measurement of "AB" [which is: "(x+5)" ]: 
______________________________________________
First, simplify to find the measurement of "AC" :
________________________________________
 </span>(x + 5) + (2x − 11) ;

=  (x + 5) + 1(2x − 11) ;

=   x + 5 + 2x − 11 ;

 → Combine the "like terms" ; 

   x + 2x = 3x ;
   
   5 − 11 = - 6 ;
______________
to get:  3x − 6 ; 
_______________
So,  (x + 5) + (2x − 11) =  3x − 6 ;
_______________________________
Solve for:  "(x + 5)"
_______________________________

We have: 
_______________________________

(x + 5) + (2x − 11) =  3x − 6  ;

Subtract:  "(2x − 11)" ;  from EACH SIDE of the equation ;
                                      to isolate "(x + 5)" on one side of the equation; 
                                      and to solve for "(x + 5)" ;
________________________________________________________
    →  (x + 5) + (2x − 11) − (2x − 11) =  (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
  
         → (x + 5)  = (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
_________________________________________________
  Note:  Simplify:  "(3x − 6) − (2x − 11)" ;

     →  (3x − 6) − (2x − 11)  ;
 
         =  (3x − 6) − 1(2x − 11) ;
 
         =   3x − 6 − 2x + 11 ;
__________________________
   →  Combine the "like terms" :
_____________________________
         +3x − 2x = 1x = x ;
  
          -6 + 11 = 5 ; 
_____________________________
To get:  x + 5 ; 

So we have:
______________________________
 x + 5 = x + 5 ; 
______________________________

So, x = all real numbers.

x = <span>ℝ </span>
