Make x the subject of the following: b = x - 5

Mathematics

ipn [44]4 years ago

When it says "the subject", it only means you need to isolate the x, or solve for x. To do that, we have to get the x by itself. But how can we do that? We'll have to get rid of that pesky -5. Well, what can we do to -5 to get to 0? Of course -- Add 5!
b=x-5
      +5

But whatever we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other. 
b=x-5
+5  +5

We're left with b+5=x. There's your answer!

Given that the points (- 1, 3) and (4, 5) are vertices of a rectangle with sides parallel to the axes how much longer is the len
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

length is 3 units longer than the width.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the length and width of the rectangle by finding the difference between the x coordinates of the vertices and the y coordinates of the vertices, respectively

length = 4 - (-1) = 5

width = 5 - 3 = 2

So the length is 5 - 2 = 3 units longer than the width.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x^2-12x-11=3*x^2-3*2*2*x+3*4-23=3*(x^2-2*2x+2^2)-23=3*(x-2)^2-23

so  a= -2 ,b= -23

Working alone at its constant rate, pump X pumped out ¼ of the water in a tank in 2 hours. Then pumps Y and Z started working an
madam [21]

Answer:

The correct option is B) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Working alone at its constant rate, pump X pumped out ¼ of the water in a tank in 2 hours.

As we know: rate =\dfrac{ work}{time},

The rate of pump X is \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2} = \frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{4} of the water is pumped out of the tank, that means only \frac{3}{4} is left to be pumped out.  

All 3 pumps pumped out the remaining \frac{3}{4} of the water out in 3 hours.

The combined rate of all three pumps is: \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{3} = \frac{1}{4}

Pump Y, working alone at its constant rate, would have taken 18 hours to pump out the rest of the water.

The rate of pump Y = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{18} = \frac{1}{24}

Let z is the time taken by pump Z, then the rate of pump Z is \frac{1}{z}.

Therefore,

\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{24}+\dfrac{1}{z}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Multiplying both sides by 24 z.

3z + z + 24 = 6z\\24 = 2z\\12 = z

Hence, the correct option is B) 12.

The area of a rectangle is 48ft2. The length is 3 times the width. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 48 ft²

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Find:

Width of rectangle

Computation:

Assume;

Width of rectangle = a

So,

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Length of rectangle = 3a

Area of rectangle = l x b

48 = 3a x a

3a² = 48

a² = 16

a = 4

Width of rectangle = 4 ft

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Length of rectangle = 3[4]

Length of rectangle = 12 ft
