The equation is missing and it is;

(2/5)x - 3/2 = (5/2)x + 6

Complete options are;

A. Jessie is correct because 3/2 can first be added to both sides of the equation.

B. Robin is correct because both sides of the equation can first be multiplied by 10

C. Both are correct because the first step can be either to add 3/2 or to multiply by 10 on both sides of the equation.

D. Neither is correct because neither adding nor multiplying by 10 on both sides of the

Answer:

option B: Robin is correct because both sides of the equation can first be multiplied by 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is;

(2/5)x - 3/2 = (5/2)x + 6

Now, looking at this, we have fraction terms. Thus, the first step will be to find a way to clear the denominators in order to make every term a whole number.

The denominators we have are: 2 and 5.

So to clear the denominator we'll multiply each term by 10 which is a product of 2 and 5.

Looking at the options, the correct answer is option B: Robin is correct because both sides of the equation can first be multiplied by 10

The line x = k intersects the graph of the parabola x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5 at exactly one point. What is k? Thank you! :)
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Find the value of X round your number to the nearest tenths<br><br><br> Explain it please
Anarel [89]

In this case, we must use trigonometry to find the value of x:

        tan(\alpha )=\frac{side-opposite-angle}{side-beside-angle} \\tan(70) = \frac{x}{3} \\3*tan(70) = x\\x = 3*tan(70)\\x = 8.24

Thus the value of x rounded to the nearest tenth is <u>8.2</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
