Hi there,
No, it isn't
5x - 3 = 12
5x = 12 + 3
5x =15
Hence, X = 3
3 is the solution
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Value of b = 
=1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct Variation states that a relationship between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other.
*if one variable changes the other changes in proportion to the first.
*If a is directly proportional to b i.e,
then it is of the form
a = kb ;where k is constant variation.
Given: a varies directly as b;
then, by definition of direct variation;
we have;
.....[1]
Substitute the value of a =28 and b =7 to solve for k;
Divide both sides by 7 we have;
Simplify:
k =4
now, find b using same method when a =5;
then;
after substituting the value of a = 5 and k=4 in [1] ;
Divide by 4 to both sides we get;
Therefore, the value of b = =1.25
Hello,
The method is to find the roots of the denominator.
x²-2x-15=x²+3x-5x-15=x(x+3)-5(x+3)=(x+3)(x-5)
Roots are x=-3 and x=5
Answer C
Answer:
<h2><em>
$23.5</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Gene is playing a game with a bag of marbles. If 3 of the marbles are blue, 4 are green, and 7 are yellow and awarded prices for the marbles are $2 green $0.5 yellow $4 blue, the expected payout for Gens game is expressed as shown;
If a blue marble costs $4, 3 blue marbles will cost 3*$4 = $12
If a green marble costs $2, 4 green marbles will cost 4*$2 = $8.0
If a yellow marble costs $0.5, 7 yellow marbles will cost 7*$0.5 = $3.5
Total payout for Gene's game will be the equivalent to $12+ $8 + $3.5 = $23.5.
<em>Hence Gene expected cost will be $21.5</em>
