Answer:
x = 6/5 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve:
|5x+2|=8
We know that |u|=a the u = a and u = -a
Now solving:
|5x+2|=8
5x +2 = 8 or 5x +2 = -8
5x = 8-2 or 5x = -8-2
5x = 6 or 5x = -10
x = 6/5 or x = -10/5
x = 6/5 or x = -2
So, x = 6/5 or x = -2
#1)
Answer:
x=1 and y=12
Explanation:
y=5x+7
y=2x+10
This system should use substitution because the value of y is given in terms if x.
Substitution:
5x+7=2x+10
Solve:
3x=3
x=1
Substitute x to solve for y by plugging x into one if the original equations(doesn’t matter which one is used).
y=5x+7
y=5(1)+7
y=5+7
y=12
#2)
Answer:
x=-8 and y=2
Explanation:
y=2x+18
9y=-2x+2
This system also uses substitution. The value of y us already given in terms if c in the first equations, so we will substitute in the second equation.
Substitute:
9(2x+18)=-2x+2
Solve:
18x+162=-2x+2
20x=-160
x=-8
Now that we have the value if x, plug it into one of the original equations(doesn’t matter which equation) and substitute to find y.
y=2x+18
Substitute:
y=2(-8)+18
Solve:
y=-16+18
y=2
Answer:
about 6.6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
41,500=14,000*.45*x
41,500=6,300*x
41,000/6,300=x
6.5873=x
6.6=x
A basic unit of a chemical element
Answer:
9.42 units (3 s.f.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference of circle= 2πr
Radius
= diameter ÷2
= 3 ÷2
= 1.5
Circumference of circle
= 2(π)(1.5)
= 3π
= 9.42 units (3 s.f.)
