Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

The number of pies sold by the Chipper Bakery is 3/4 of the number of cookies sold by the Yummy Cookie Company. If both the busi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Number of cookies sold by the Yummy Company = 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cookies sold by the yummy company be x.

Then the number of pies sold by The Chipper Bakery is 3/4 x.

When they have 16, more we have:

Number sold by the Yummy company is x + 16 and the number sold by the Bakery is 5/6 (x + 16)

So x + 3/4x + 2(16) = x + 16 + 5/6(x + 16)

= 7/4 x  + 32 =  11/6 x + 16 + 80/6

7/4 x - 11/6x = 16 + 80/6 - 32

-1/12 x = -2 2/3

x = -8/3 * -12

x = 32.

At what point on the curve y = 19 2x is the tangent line perpendicular to the line 20x 4y = 1?
Gennadij [26K]

The points are; (7/2, -1/2).

<h3>What is the given point?</h3>

Now the tangent line is given as;20x 4y = 1. When we rewrite it in the slope intercept form, we have the equation as; y = 1 - 20x/4 or y = 1/4 - 5x.

Then to obtain the slope of the curve we have; y = 19 - 2x

dy/dx = 2

Using the relation;

m1m2 = -1

m2 = -1/2

Hence;

y = 1/4 - 5(-1/2)

y = 1/4 + 5/2

y = 7/2

Thus the points are; (7/2, -1/2)

Basing your answer on the appearance of the figures below, identify whether the mathematical expression is true or false.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The mathematical expression is false

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets use the figure to answer the question

- There are four triangles in the figure

- Δ ROB and Δ PTA appear congruent because:

# The side RO appears equal the side PT

∴ RO ≅ PT

# The side OB appears equal the side TA

∴ OB ≅ TA

# The side RB appears equal the side PA

∴ RB ≅ PA ⇒ SSS

∴ Δ ROB ≅ Δ PTA

- Δ DEF and Δ YXW appear congruent because:

# The side DE appears equal the side YX

∴ DE ≅ YX

# The side EF appears equal the side XW

∴ EF ≅ XW

# The side DF appears equal the side YW

∴ DF ≅ YW

∴ Δ DEF ≅ Δ YXW ⇒ SSS

- Δ ROB and Δ DEF have different shapes and sizes

∵ Δ ROB not appear congruent to Δ DEF

∴ Δ ROB ≠ Δ DEF

∴ The mathematical expression is false
