Answer:

x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

2x + 2 + 1 = 1 - 2x + 14

4x = 1 + 14 - 2 - 1

4x = 12

x = 3.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

2x + 2 + 1 = 1 - 2x + 14

4x = 1 + 14 - 2 - 1

4x = 12

x = 3.

Victoria has 2.50 pounds of bell peppers and the cost is $1.25. What is the price for 1 pound of bell peppers?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The price of one pound of bell peppers is $0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is equivalent to the following:

<em>"if 10 oranges cost $20, how much does 1 orange cost? "</em>

and the answer to that question is:

price of 1 orange = $20/ 10 oranges = $2 per orange.

Put simply, we divided the total price by the total number of items, and we shall do the same thing for the case of bell peppers:

price of 1 pound = $1.25/ 2.5 pounds = $0.5/ pound.

The price for 1 pound of bell peppers is $0.5.

pllllllls I need help right triangle and trigonometry special right triangles find the value of each variable

$\huge {\mathfrak{Answer : }}$

we know,

$\boxed{\cos( \theta) = \dfrac{base}{hypotenuse}}$

so,

$\cos(30) = \dfrac{24}{x}$

$\dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \dfrac{24}{x}$

$x = \dfrac{24 \times 2}{ \sqrt{3} }$

$x = 8 \sqrt{3} \times 2$

$x = 16 \sqrt{3}$

now,

$\boxed{ \tan( \theta) = \frac{perpendcular}{base} }$

$\tan(30) = \dfrac{y}{24}$

$\dfrac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \dfrac{y}{24}$

$y = \dfrac{24}{ \sqrt{3} }$

$y = 8 \sqrt{3}$

Find the zeroes of the following equation:

weqwewe [10]

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$
