Pls help... solve for x in the following...pls explain a)7x+5=3x-1 b)5x+12=3x+14

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a) x = -1.5

b) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem a, you can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to gather all the like terms together:

7x + 5 = 3x - 1

-3x -3x

4x + 5 = -1

Next, to get the coefficients on one side, you subtract 5 from both sides:

4x + 5 = -1

-5 -5

4x = -6

Now, you divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:

x = -6/4 = -1.5 --- > x = -1.5

For problem b, you start by subtracting 3x from both sides(kinda like problem a):

5x + 12 = 3x + 14

-3x -3x

2x + 12 = 14

Next, you can subtract 12 from both sides, isolating the "x term".

2x + 12 = 14

-12 -12

2x = 2

Lastly, you can divide by 2 to get x:

x = 1

A rectangle box with a square base and no top needs to be made using 300ft^2 of material. Find the dimensions of the box with th

Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

A square base and no top
It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ $y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x$

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ $V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)$

∴ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}$

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=0$ ⇒ greatest volume

∴ $75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0$

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ $-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75$

- Divide both sides by $-\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ $y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)$

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ x = 10

∴ $V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}$

∴ $V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)$

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

The number of gift baskets Nikki can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the baskets . She can make 1

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gift baskets Nikki can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the baskets .

Let n be the number of baskets and let t be the mount of time it takes to make the basket. This means that:

n α t

=> n = kt

where k = constant of proportionality

She can make 4 baskets in every 1/2 hour.

This means that:

4 = k * 1/2

=> k = 4 * 2 = 8 baskets per hour

The time is now 5 hours (t = 5). Therefore:

n = 8 * 5 = 40 baskets

She can make 40 baskets in 5 hours.

Estimate the perimeter and the area of the shaded figure to the nearest whole number.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area and perimeter of the given shaded figure are respectively 33.12 unit² and 20.56 units.

Area and perimeter-based problem:

What information do we have?

Radius of semi-circle = 8 / 2 = 4 unit

Length of remain Rectangle = 8 unit

Width of remain Rectangle = 2 unit

Perimeter of shaded figure = πr + (l + 2b)

Perimeter of shaded figure = (3.14)(4) + [4 + (2)(2)]

Perimeter of shaded figure = 12.56 + 4 + 4

Perimeter of shaded figure = 20.56 units

Area of shaded figure = πr²/2 + lb/2

Area of shaded figure = (3.14)(4)²/2 + (8)(2)/2

Area of shaded figure = (3.14)(8) + 8

Area of shaded figure = 25.12 + 8

Area of shaded figure = 33.12 unit²
