Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

AB= 6x, BC= x-5, AC= 23

Substituting what we know

6x + x-5 = 23

Combine like terms

7x -5 = 23

Add 5 to each side

7x-5+5 =23+5

7x = 28

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 28/7

x=4

If (2 − 3i) + (x + yi) = 6, what is x + yi?

Soloha48 [4]

(2 − 3i) + (x + yi) = 6

We add the left hand side

(2+x) + (-3+y)i = 6

6 can be written in a+ib

6 can be written as 6 + 0i

(2+x) + (-3+y)i = 6 +0i

Now we frame 2 equations

2 + x= 6

-3 + y =0

Solve the first equation

2 + x = 6

Subtract 2 from both sides

x = 4

solve the second equation

-3 + y =0

Add 3 on both sides

y= 3

So x+yi is 4+3i

An oil tanker empties at 3.5 gallons per minute. Convert this rate to cups per second. Round to the nearest tenth.

ss7ja [257]

If given ratio is 3.5 gallons per minute and we want to cups per second we can do this knowing that
1 gallon= 16cups
1min = 60sec
ratio=3.5 $\frac{gallon}{minute}=3.5* \frac{16cups}{60 seconds} =3.5*0.266=0.933 \frac{cups}{sec}$
Its the result
