x = 5

1/40 of x is the same x divided by 40, so let’s put that into the equation to get x/40 = 1/8.

Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 40 to cancel out the division by 40.

x = 1/8 * 40

x = 40/8

Now, just simplify.

x = 5

Solution:

Given Expression is 1/40* x = 1/8

Step : Define x in the Equation:

Step : Divide the Equation by 8

Step : Do cross multiplication

Step : Arrange it in particular form

____________________________

☞ 1/40x = 1/8

☞ x/40 = 1/8

☞ x = ⅛ × 40

☞ x = 5

Therefore, Answer is 5.

Question 24 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

hammer [34]

Given:

The system of equations is:

Line A: $y=x-4$

Line B: $y=3x+4$

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

$y=x-4$ ...(i)

$y=3x+4$ ...(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

$x-4=3x+4$

$-4-4=3x-x$

$-8=2x$

Divide both sides by 2.

$-4=x$

Substituting $x=-4$ in (i), we get

$y=-4-4$

$y=-8$

The solution of system of equations is (-4,-8).

Now verify the solution by substituting $x=-4, y=-8$ in the given equations.

$-8=-4-4$

$-8=-8$

This statement is true.

Similarly,

$-8=3(-4)+4$

$-8=-12+4$

$-8=-8$

This statement is also true.

Therefore, (-4,-8) is a solution of the given system of equations, because the point satisfies both equations. Hence, the correct option is C.

The accompanying table shows the number of bacteria present in a certain culture over a 4 hour period, where x is the time, in h

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as

$y=1963.56(1.14)^x$ which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:

$y=1963.56(1.14)^{12$ which gives us, in the end,

y = 9460
