X-2(x+10)=12 need work shown

Mathematics
1 answer:
Eva8 [605]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x=-32

Step-by-step explanation:

expand -2(x+10): -2x-20

x-2x -20=12

add similar elements: x-2x=-x

x-20=12

add 20 to both sides

-x-20+20=12+20

simplify

-x=32  

divide both sides by -1

x=-32

Help me on the first question pls
Margaret [11]
To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.

Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.

Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.

from 2002 to 2012, the number of a particular make of cars sold at a dealership yearly declined to 500. The number is expected t
Alinara [238K]
To determine the number of cars that will be sold by the year 2020, we will use the equation,

     N = (N1)(1 - r)^(t)

where N1 is the starting number of cars, r is the rate of the decrease, and t is the number of years from 2012. Substituting the konwn values,

   N = (500)(1 - 0.028)^(8)
    N = 398.38

The closest integer to the calculated value is 398. Thus, the answer is 398 cars.

you currently have 24 credit hours and a 2.8 gpa you need a 3.0 gpa to get into the college. if you are taking a 16 credit hours
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0

And we can solve for \sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f and solving we got:

3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f

And from the previous result we got:

3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f

And solving we got:

\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the currently mean is 2.8 and is given by:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i }{24} = 2.8

Where w_i represent the number of credits and X_i the grade for each subject. From this case we can find the following sum:

\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0

And we can solve for \sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f and solving we got:

3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f

And from the previous result we got:

3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f

And solving we got:

\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0

A rectangular field is to be enclosed by a fence and divided
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

80000 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter + dividing fence = 800

let a = length

let b = width

let c = length of dividing fence

perimeter = 2*a + 2*b

let's say...

c is the same as the length

2a + 2b + c = 800

2a + 2b + a = 800

3a + 2b = 800

area = length*width

area = a*b

area / b = a

3*(area/b) + 2b = 800

3*(area/b) = 800 - 2b

area/b = (800 - 2b)

area = (800 - 2b)*b

To make the area large, we make the right hand side large.

800b - 2b^2

If you put in terms of x, y it looks like a downward opening parabola, so the max area is at the vertex. Half way between the roots.

y = -2x^2 + 800x

y = -x^2 + 400x

0 = x*(-x + 400)

roots are x= 0 and x = 400

vertex is at x, aka b = 200

area at b=200 is (800 - 400)*200 = 80000

and a is area/b... 80000/400 = 200
