Answer:
B. 10
C. All real numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 (2x-4) = 8(x + 2)
Distribute the numbers outside of the factors:
12x - 24 = 8x + 16
Subtract both sides by '8x'
12x - 8x - 24 = 8x - 8x + 16
4x - 24 = 16
Add '24' to both sides:
4x = 40
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 10. Therefore, <u>B. 10</u> is the correct answer.
3(4p - 2) = -6(1 - 2p)
Distribute the numbers similarly to the example before:
12p - 6 = -6 + 12p
Subtract '12p' from both sides:
12p - 12p -6 = -6 + 12p - 12p
0 -6 = -6
Add '6' to both sides:
0 - 6 + 6 = -6 + 6
0 = 0
Therefore, the solution consists of <u>all real numbers.</u>
Answer:
The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
The length can be represented by 2w + 2
Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:
A = lw
24 = (2w + 2)(w)
Simplify and solve for w:
24 = 2w² + 2w
2w² + 2w - 24
Divide everything by 2:
w² + w - 12
Factor:
(w + 4)(w - 3)
Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:
w + 4 = 0
w = -4
w - 3 = 0
w = 3
Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.
Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:
2w + 2
2(3) + 2
= 8
So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
If <em>a</em> is fixed and <em>b</em>,<em>c</em> are unknowns then the equation <em>b</em>+<em>c</em>=10-<em>a</em> has 11-<em>a</em> solutions. They are pairs (b,c): (0,10-a), (1,9-a), (2,8-a), ... (10-a,0). As <em>a</em> runs from 0 to 10 we have total number of solutions (11-0)+(11-1)+...(11-1)=11+10+...+1=(1+11)*11/2=66.
Answer:
Cost of tshirt = £7.29
Cost of what = £0.86
Step-by-step explanation:
2t +3h = 12; 10t + 15h = 60
5t + 4h =33; 10t + 8h = 66
15h -8h = -6
7h = -6; h = -6/7; h = 0.86
2t +3(-6/7) =12
14t -18 = 84
14t = 102; t = 102/ 14; t=7.29
