Solve: -4x-8x+17=23 check solution

Mathematics

Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:

-12x+17=23

Simplify further:

-12x=6

Divide by -12 on both sides to get:

x = -\frac{1}{2}

To check  the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:

-4(-\frac{1}{2})-8(-\frac{1}{2})+17=23

2+4+17= 23

23=23

Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.

The middle value should be 4%.

The reason why is because if the value inside the parentheses was 1.00, it would be constant. 1.04 is equivalent to a positive change of 4%.

Also, it changes every 1 hour, instead of every 15 minutes, because the function is solving for variable t, which, in this context, represents the time in hours.

a. Find the slant height of the cone. The slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s later
timama [110]
I kind-of need more specifics here. You didn't give any dimensions, but okay. So if you notice, from the side, any cone just looks like a regular old triangle. And we can treat it like one when trying to find the slant height. Ever heard of the Pythagorean theorem? a squared plus b squared = c squared. so in this case, the hypotenuse, or c-side, will be your slant height. take the square of the distance from the circle-base's center to the apex. add that to the square of the radius of the base. Find the square root (using your calculator) of that sum, and there's your answer.
