Solve: 3x - 4+2(x-5)= 9x + 8- 2x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4 + 2(x - 5) = 9x + 8 - 2x

3x - 4 + 2x - 10 = 9x + 8 - 2x

3x + 2x - 9x + 2x = 8 + 10 + 4

- 2x = 22

- x = 22/2

- x = 11

x = - 11

The first element in an arithmetic sequence is 2. Its twenty second is 14. Find the value of n so that a(n)=6
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

<h2>n = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the nth term of an arithmetic sequence to be Tn = a+(n-1)d

a = first term of the sequence

n = number of terms

d = common difference.

Given the first element a = 2 and 22nd to be 14

T22 = a+(22-1)d = 14

a+21d = 14

Substtuting a = 2 into the equation to get d

2+21d = 14

21d = 12

d = 12/21

d = 4/7

The nth term of the sequence given a = 2 and d = 4/7 will be expressed as;

Tn = 2+(n-1)4/7

Given Tn = 6

6 = 2+(n-1)4/7

6 = 2+4/7 n - 4/7

6-2+4/7 = 4/7 n

32/7=4/7 n

32 = 4n

n = 32/4

n = 8

You have 100 feet of fencing and decide to make a rectangular garden. What is the largest area enclosed
k0ka [10]

Answer:

625 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 100 --- perimeter

Required

The largest area

The perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2 * ( L + W)

So, we have:

2 * ( L + W) = 100

Divide both sides by 2

L + W  = 50

Make  L the subject

L = 50 - W

The area is calculated as:

A= L * W

Substitute L = 50 - W

A= (50 - W) * W

Open bracket

A = 50W - W^2

Differentiate with respect to W

A' = 50 -2W

Set to 0; to get the maximum value of W

50 - 2W = 0

Collect like terms

-2W = -50

Divide by -2

W = 25

So, the maximum area is:

A = 50W - W^2

A = 50 * 25 - 25^2

A = 1250 - 625

A = 625

Before 8 A.M., there were 64 trucks and 24 cars in a parking lot. Between 8 A.M. and 9 A.M., more cars entered the parking lot a
malfutka [58]

Answer:

232 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.

At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:

64/(88 + c) = 1/5

Cross-multiply:

88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320

c = 320 - 88 = 232

Thus, the answer is 232 cars.

Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.
