Three less than eight times the number is equal to half of 16 times the number after it was increased by one

Mathematics

Answer:

1) The question is aimed to determine the number that Laura is trying to come up with.

Such question is solved by stating an algebraic equation from the word statement, which is done step by step.

2) Using the name x for the unknown, the expression "three less than 8 times the number" is translated to: 8x - 3

3) The expression "half of 16 times the number after it was increased by 1" is translated to: (1/2) (16x + 1)

4) Finally, since they are equal, you can set the equation:

8x - 3 =  (1/2) (16x + 1)

5) And solve for x in this way:

i) Distributive property:

8x - 3 = 8x + 1/2

ii) At this stage you can see that the both 8x terms (on the left and on the right) cancel each other, which leads to the impossibility to determine the value of the unknown:

-3 = 1/2 which is alwasy false, meaning that the equation has no solution.

Answer:

(C) 2√15

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.

... CB/CA = CT/CB

... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values

... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...

... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above

This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
