Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x=3/4(x-2)

1/2x=3/4x-1.5 (distribute)

+1.5 +1.5

1/2x+1.5=3/4x

-1/2x -1/2x

1.5=1/4x

6=x

<u>Answer:</u>

The system of equations are

x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)

and, 6x + 5y = 13700 ……equation (2)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let x = amount of sales of phone;

y = amount of sales of computer

For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.

Similarly for computer,

5% of y = 0.05y

Given the total sales; x + y = 2600

And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700

Therefore the system of equations are

x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)

6 x + 5 y = 13700 ……equation (2)

12n^3 + 16n^3 can someone please help me with this?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$4n^{3} (3n^{2} + 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is asking you to factor out the formula, it can be done easily by finding a common number with the two givens.

4 goes into both 12 and 16 evenly, so we will use this to factor. But that's not all, we have the n-variable to worry about.

Look at the n-variable exponents in the problem, take the highest power that can go be subtracted from both and use that. We have a $n^{5}$ and $n^{3}$ . Since 5 can't go into 3, we must use 3 to factor.

Our factoring variable will therefore be $4n^{3}$ . Now, use this to simply divide and get the answer:

$( 12n^{5} + 16n^{3} ) / 4n^{3} = 4n^{3}(3n^{2} + 4)$

So how did we get this? For the whole numbers, we have to divide: (12/4, 16/4). Next, we have to minus the exponents since we are dividing.

When dividing the 12 and 4, minus the $n^{5}$ and $n^{3}$ to get $n^{2}$ . Get rid of the $n^{3}$ term for the 16 and leave the 4. And there's your answer!
